Introduction
Performance ~ Lessons ~ Production Performance: Solo Guitar Guitar/Violin Duet Guitar/Violin/Cello trio Jazz Quartet More info, samples & song-lists can be found under the "performance" tab on our website, irvinmusicstudio.com Lessons: Guitar Trumpet Theory/Composition Production Beginner Piano Beginner Drums Beginner Bass Sam utilizes an “outside-in” approach to teaching, using both traditional and contemporary methods that honor the individual interests of each musician. Sam is a passionate music theorist and he uses his background in classical and jazz to inform his approach to genres such as rock, metal, folk, etc.. Sam works with his students in the cultivation of musical essentials while holding the broader implications of music making at the core of each lesson. Learners will receive instruction in progressive and refined technique studies, music theory, reading standard music notation and tablature, how to use scales for improvisation, and ways to optimize efficacy of practice time. Additionally, students will be encouraged to develop their own repertoire to build a base of songs to perform. Sam aspires to be a teacher that imparts to his students a sense of self-awareness and self-actualization from the study of music. Music can help you become the best you that you can be and Sam’s goal is to impart his students with just that. Production: Come record basic demos or spoken-word (podcasts/audiobooks/etc.) We use industry-standard microphones, interfaces, effects and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) that can meet the needs of most clients without having to shell out the big bucks for a mega-studio. Original music production is available whether coaching for clients' compositions or offering backing tracks for clients' vocals.

Sam was awesome! We had booked another musician who was very unprofessional and backed out a week before our wedding. I contacted Sam and he was available and willing to perform on our wedding day. He even drove 3 hours one way to come play for us! He got to the church early, was dressed very nice, and treated everyone with respect and professionalism. He also played very well and was able to play all the songs I had requested and he even played a special recording that I had asked him to download and play during our rope tying ceremony. I would definitely hire him again! One thing I really appreciated about Sam was the fact that he was very responsive to me. Even if he was unable to answer my questions, he’d shoot me a quick note to let me know he’d be getting back to me. I was so grateful that he was able to come through for us last minute. Thank you, Sam so much!!

Sam definitely met our expectations for our ceremony. His kind and friendly demeanor gave us confidence and comfort knowing that he would meet our expectations at our intimate wedding ceremony. He communicated well about what he was confident in performing for us and gave his professional opinion on songs, etc. He stayed in constant communication with us up until our special day and arrived early to setup. His performance was wonderful and everything g we expected. We would definitely recommend Sam for your special occasion!

Sam was such a great addition to our micro wedding in Asheville. He was very responsive and took the time to get to know my fiancee and I. He ensured we were 100% ready for day of and was so kind and welcoming to all of our guests. He took the time to learn some new songs we had requested and they came out absolutely beautiful. We would recommend him over and over again!!
