About Austin Zoph

Greetings! I am a multi-instrumentalist from Chicago, Illinois who has experience in a vast spread of bands/genres. I excel in harmony, rhythm, precise technique, songwriting, overall artistic expression, and I can provide a very well rounded education to the aspiring musician who would like to expand their creativity and knowledge in almost anything they would like to learn! With my lessons you will be able to:

• Break free from unoriginality and repetition in creative thought! Develop your distinct characteristic that's been waiting for you all along.
• Learn to find creativity and uniqueness inside yourself so you can apply your skills to being as original a musician as possible! Learn to reach for different forms of creative expression you may have never found before!
• Hone your technique to become as technical as you wish. Also get new time signature/rhythm structures under your belt!
• Realize new things about how humans perceive new information, and how to get those key parts of your brain moving to create the best music you can.
• Learn the fundamentals of production. Learn the why and how about things that need to be done to have the pristine mix you're looking for in your productions, and how to clean things up and allow every instrument in a mix to have their place.

 I am also a perfectionist, and I can train you to become a very precise machine-like player, and give you that boost you need to become as technically proficient on stringed instruments as you'd like to be. I am able to teach players who are just beginning, and those who are very advanced and searching for a new and original creative/technical frontier. I've received praise from great musicians such as Evan Brewer and Simon Exner from As You Drown. I have been playing for 3 years, and I specialize in guitar, bass, songwriting, and music production. Anything you might want to learn, just ask! My lessons will also be much cheaper compared to a lot of teachers here at Bandhappy. Expand your musical vocabulary, schedule a lesson!
