Teaching a clinic on Gypsy Jazz in Wisconson

 

I have had the opportunity to teach musical instruments in Nashville since 2002.  I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Commercial Guitar with a Composition and Arranging Emphasis from Belmont University but I made my carreer as a multi-instrumentalist teaching and performing all genres of guitar, slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro, bass and ukulele. 

A 3rd generation Nashville musician, I have been exposed to music my entire life. Over the years, I has had the opportunity to perform and record with many great artists including Larry Fleet, Lady A, Pam Tillis, Aberdeen Green, John Michael Montgomery, The Gypsy Hombres and many others.  I currently reside in Nashville teaching, touring and doing sessions. Please feel free to reach out.
 

Teaching

I am currently teaching:
Online: Daily

Rob Jackson Studios: (Green Hills) Tuesday and Wednesday

Lane Music: (Cool Springs) Monday, Thursday and Fridays when available.

Online Scheduling has been disabled due to software issues but please message me and we can get something set up.

I believe the ability to play an instrument is only part of musicianship. I also strive to teach my students the theory behind the music they learn.  I have given lessons to everyone from beginners to touring and session players who wanted a better knowledge of their instrument.  I teach guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin, and Ukulele and styles of music including (but not limited to): bluegrass, country, rock, jazz, R&B, and Gypsy Jazz.  I cherish the opportunity to teach any level of player.  You can schedule a lesson online or you can schedule directly through me.  I am continuously accepting new students.  If you are looking for a Saturday lesson please send me an email.   

TESTIMONIALS

"When I started my 9 year old son on guitar lessons, I was very concerned that the teacher both really know his stuff and also be capable of developing a fun teaching relationship with him. Zander met all of these requirements and then some. He put my son at ease, and developed a teaching plan that was geared specifically to him so that he both made quick progress and had a lot of fun playing. In short, Zander is an excellent guitar teacher!"

"I was in Nashville this past summer and thought a banjo lesson would be cool. I called around for weeks before I arrived and the name Zander Wyatt kept coming up. I left a message on his phone but doubted I’d hear back from him. But in a few days I got a response back. Sure! I only wanted one lesson but Zander put me in the schedule. Cool! I was traveling and so he found a loaner banjo for me. Wow! The lesson, the one lesson, I had with Zander was amazing. In one hour we covered a ton. By the end of that lesson I had a new hand position, my picks were on right, I was playing smoother, and reading tab better. Amazing! If you haven’t guessed by now I totally support Zander. I wish I were in TN and not CA. I would be taking weekly lessons. What more can I say? Zander is great!"
