Justin Spicer: Guitar, Bass, Ukulele and Mandolin
Justin started playing guitar when he was ten years old; after developing an interest in country music as well as the music of Jimi Hendrix. He began taking private guitar lessons from a neighbor for three years; and it was during this time his teacher noted his possession of perfect pitch. After three years of playing, Justin began providing guitar and bass lessons as a means to complete the required forty community service hours to graduate to high school.
Once Justin was in high school, he became heavily involved in the school's band program; participating in the marching band, the jazz band, the concert band, and the drum-line; earning the Patrick S. Gilmore award in his sophomore year. After taking courses for guitar, piano, and music theory, he devised an independent
study course based on composition techniques ranging from Baroque to modern styles. As well as continuing to give private guitar and bass lessons, Justin also played in multiple bands outside of school; ranking top placement regularly in annual Battle of The Bands competitions, with two first-place nominations.
In 2011 Justin began his final stage of higher education at Berklee College of Music; majoring in Guitar Performance. While completing his
studies at Berklee, he still played in bands regularly; sharing bills with national touring acts such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Puddle of
Mudd, Jackyl, and Styper, to name a few.

Navarre Williams: Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, and Songwriting
Navarre is a multi instrumentalist
that has been studying music for nearly 20 years. Specializing in Electric Guitar, his passion for music expands more than just playing. Music
theory, recording, mixing and engineering are the other halfs of the full picture. While working at a Recording Studio, Navarre also performed
and wrote songs in bands for a Jazz Camp that the studio offered to students. Currently, Navarre offers lessons for Acoustic and Electric
Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Music Theory and Songwriting. Teaching a wide range of genres, Navarre feels he specializes most at helping the student
become true to themselves with their instruments. He believes helping them explore creativity while learning a strong foundation in the
fundamentals of harmony and technique is important.

I really enjoyed the lessons with Navarre. He is a wonderful instructor and an even better person. His dedication to caring about students,
remembering personal information and relating content towards my musical interest was always appreciated and meaningful. Thanks, Connor
Chris really liked his lesson yesterday. You were right,
Navarre is a good fit for him, enthusiastic but not overwhelming.
