Meet the Teacher
Scott performs shows every week and when he talks to the audience, the number one conversation he has with older music fans is how much they love to listen to music, yet how seldom listening was emphasized in their lessons when they were younger, contributing to their eventual discontinuation of studies.
This sparked Scott’s mission to make learning music as rewarding and encouraging as possible, ensuring that music lessons are always the highlight of a student’s day, alongside an emphasis on regularly listening to music, live or recorded.
Scott’s teaching philosophy, honed over years of experience, focuses on making music learning accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for students of all ages.
Transform your musical ideas into a polished album during this exciting summer course! Under the expert guidance of Scott Pittman, longstanding BMS faculty member and accomplished multi-instrumentalist, students will journey through the complete recording process from concept to finished product.
In this flexible 8-lesson program, participants will learn essential studio techniques while creating their own album of original compositions, favorite covers, or a creative combination of both. This hands-on experience provides valuable insights into professional recording practices while developing a deeper understanding of musical arrangement and production.
