Korey Brodsky
About
Korey Brodsky is a Boston-based mandolinist and guitarist. Expanding upon his early roots in bluegrass music, he now also performs and studies old time, Bach, and jazz. He has been featured in numerous publications such as Flatpicking Guitar Magazine and Bluegrass Unlimited, was a 2013 IBMA Youth All Star, a member of the 2018 Acoustic Music Seminar, and a graduate of the Berklee College of Music. Over the years, he has toured and recorded with various national and local bands. In addition to performing, he teaches weekly online lessons with students of various ages and skill levels.
Over the course of the last 18 years, I've had the privilege of studying with many different incredible teachers. For the last 5 years, I've used this knowledge to develop an effective teaching style for my weekly private lessons with students of various abilities and ages. During these lessons, I enjoy working with students on their instrument as well as improving their theory knowledge and training their ears. I believe that each private lesson should be specifically fitted for the individual. Therefore, I do not use a set curriculum, but rather refer to multiple different resources in order to give each student a comprehensive knowledge of the subject. After each lesson, if a new concept or song is explored, I provide sheet music or written words to help the student remember and visualize what was discussed and played. Overall, my goal is to help people find a connection between their mind and hands so that they can express themselves through thoughtful musical ideas. I look forward to working with students who want to learn more about mandolin or guitar. Please contact me if you have any questions about my teaching style or to schedule a lesson!
Graduated summa cum laude from the Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor's degree in Music Performance and a minor in American Roots Music
