Sam has been a musician since he could hold a bow, starting classical cello at age 5.  Since then he has mastered the electric and upright bass, and guitar, builds his own synthesizers, and is a student of the piano.  Sam graduated from Brown University with a compositional degree in electronic music.  Since graduating, Sam runs his own successful business teaching private lessons to students of a variety of ages in cello, guitar and piano.  Sam has performed extensively in both jazz and classical contexts, and is first and foremost passionate about helping his students to learn to love music.  He works hard to help them find their own unique voice, and expose them to as much music from around the world and from a variety of historical contexts as possible! Teaching alongside his brother Max, he is excited to expose young minds to all sorts of music and cultures, and to pass on his love for song!
