Ken Valentino
Ken, age 34, started
teaching beginner lessons at 15 and started teaching at Danny
D’s at 17. He has been fortunate enough to have music
as his sole income for all that time (except one Christmas
when he played Santa Claus at Baybrook Mall just to see what
it was like). He has enjoyed playing numerous instruments,
but as of now has focused mainly on guitar, bass, vocals and
more recently banjo. As far as styles he has focused more
on Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz, Bluegrass, Celtic, Metal and
Funk.
His teaching style is to “have fun to get things done”
and to “work on how to practice as opposed to just practicing
more”. He believes the advantage of one on one lessons
is to tailor fit the style, technique, and even song selections
to your goals.
