Unlock Your Musical Potential with Payton!
With over a decade of teaching experience, I've had the privilege of guiding students of all levels on their musical journeys. My passion for music stems from my training at The New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, where I graduated with honors and honed my skills under the mentorship of renowned maestros like Reggie Workman, Billy Harper, Vic Juris, Peter Bernstein and Jane Ira Bloom.
Beyond academic excellence, I've cultivated a practical insight into music through my two self-released albums, 'Songs For Two Guitars' and 'Double Standard,' in collaboration with Saxophonist Eli Hershiser. Both albums, available across platforms, reflect my dedication to artistic expression and innovation. Moreover, I bring a wealth of real-world performance experience from nine vibrant years in the heart of New York City's music scene. This dynamic environment not only nurtured my growth but also allowed me to flourish as a musician and performer.
My teaching expertise spans a wide spectrum: from ear training to sight reading, improvisation, music theory, rhythm, arranging, composition, and even guitar doubling on bass. Versatility is key—I can delve into any music style and play at a high proficiency level.
Having tutored across various subjects for three years at the New School, I've gained an in-depth understanding of curriculum's, ensuring a comprehensive approach to teaching music.
Let's embark on this musical journey together! I take immense joy in nurturing talent and helping students carve their unique paths in the realm of music. I can't wait to meet you and explore the endless possibilities of music! For in person lessons I only serve the New York City area but I teach online as well for those who are not nearby.
Note to New Jersey residents: I am located in Ridgewood in Queens, New York! Not Ridgewood, NJ
