About Mr. Sam:
Mr. Sam is an eclectic and passionate music instructor who specializes in guitar, bass, and ukulele. Whether teaching one-on-one or in a group class, Mr. Sam creates a relaxed, non-judgmental learning environment in which creativity and curiosity are encouraged.
He especially enjoys helping students express themselves through musical composition, improvisation, and songwriting, and believes these skills ought to be introduced much earlier in the learning process than they normally are.
Mr. Sam's favorite guitarist is Baden Powell and his favorite bassist is Jaco Pastorius. When he isn't teaching or making music, Mr. Sam can be found hiking a local forest preserve, struggling with a New York Times crossword puzzle, or cheering on the Chicago Bears.
