Mr. Sebastian graduated as a dual major from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Arts in Guitar Performance/Contemporary Writing and Production. Being able to study with not only incredible musicians but amazing teachers such as Tim Miller and Mick Goodrick, showed Sebastian the qualities of a great teacher. Even before he graduated, Sebastian was teaching as a student employee for the summer programs at Berklee and also had established his own private students while in Boston. After graduating he moved back to NYC and has been teaching in schools ever since. Specializing in improvisational and contemporary styles, Sebastian can help musicians develop their improvisational language. His philosophy is that every student, no matter the age, has their own musical voice and all they need to do is stay motivated and devoted to their craft and they will find it. In addition to having a passion for teaching, Sebastian is also a performer. He has played many festivals and shows all around the country and plays with many local artists in the NYC scene. His love for both teaching and performing helps give students multiple and realistic perspectives.
