Instructors

Gerry began teaching in 2004 and has done so for the past 16 years. He offers lessons for all playing levels/styles on guitar, bass, piano, and songwriting. He attended Berklee College of Music for guitar performance where he studied with John Thomas (Sonny Stitt, Kenny Drew) John Marasco (Letterman, Al Martino) and Jim Stinnet (Tal Farlow, Roy Hanes.) As a songwriter he writes original material for both of his bands, Big Wake and the Gerry Rosenthal Trio, as well as for various solo projects. In 2018 he was one of 15 songwriters chosen from across the U.S. to participate in a songwriting workshop led by singer-songwriter-pianist Ben Folds.
