Scott Slapin’s viola playing has received critical acclaim in Fanfare, Stad, the American Record Guide, Mundo Clasico, and Musical Opinion, and his popular recital compositions have been performed by hundreds of viola players throughout the world.  Many of his compositions can be heard on ten albums by the Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo, the Wistaria String Quartet, the Penn State Viola Ensemble, Viola Around the World, and the American Viola Quartet.  Scott is a featured soloist on dozens of premiere recordings and the first person to have recorded the complete set of J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas on viola; he can also be heard playing solo Bach, Paganini, and some of his own compositions on various soundtracks for film and TV.  Scott and his wife, violist Tanya Solomon, performed together as the award-winning Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo for more than twenty years.  At eighteen Scott was one of the youngest graduates of the Manhattan School of Music in New York City.  He teaches viola, violin, and composition privately online and has reached students on five continents via Skype.  For more information, visit scottslapin.com and violaduo.com.

I offer music lessons in guitar, ukulele, and clarinet from my home studio in Winooski, VT. Lessons are designed to be fun, engaging, and tailored to individual interests. I can teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in a variety of styles including pop/rock, jazz, blues, acoustic, electric, fingerstyle, country, metal, and folk. I can also provide specialized lessons for individuals with disabilities, whether it be physical, mental, or intellectual.

I currently teach guitar at the University of Vermont and have over 14 years experience teaching youths at an alternative school. My education includes a Bachelor of Music, Master’s Degree in School Counseling, as well as additional graduate studies in music.

As a performer, I maintain a busy performance schedule that includes performances with Guagua, Trio Gusto, The Funk Collection, Marty Fogel, and Jake Whitesell Trio. Some recent performances of mine include playing lead guitar in UVM’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and performing latin jazz with Ray Vega at the FlynnSpace.

Since 2001, I have been active as a performer and educator with a focus on jazz improvisation, theory, and composition.  I attended the Hartt School of Music and New School University, and have taught at UVM and Johnson State College.  I enjoy teaching a variety of styles, including jazz, rock, and pop.  I am also happy to offer a more traditional, reading-based approach for students who prefer that format.

I offer custom composition, arranging, transcription, and copyediting.  I have 17 years of experience writing and arranging for recording sessions and live performances; as a copyeditor, I have worked extensively on several theater productions.  I am also happy to offer my services both as an accompanist and as a solo pianist for weddings, parties, and events.
