Colby brings all his skills to bear in his lessons using a "song-based" approach. In doing so, he crafts a unique and individualized experience for each student that plays to their particular strengths and interests, while also challenging them and growing their skills.
As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, bass, percussion), Colby can call upon the most appropriate instrumentation and arrangement for any song.
As a longtime student of American music and its history, Colby's lessons invariably expand his students appreciation and knowledge of different eras, composers, and movements from across genres.
And as a professionally trained singer, Colby increases his students vocal strength, precision, tone, diction, and emotion through a thorough study of proper technique - which is always at the core of his lessons.
