Play Favorite Songs. Rock Your Rhythm. Electrify an Audience.
Guitar Coaching
Janak Ramachandran’s guitar instruction technique is specially designed to take anyone from their first notes and/or chords to either playing in a band or becoming a one-man or one-woman band. His work at the Blue Bear School of Music includes a guitar curriculum with more than five years of developed class material.
Many students seek him out for his ability to render favorite songs into a form that is accessible to each student’s skill level. He is also the first choice for students who want to learn to play and sing together. When Janak is not playing in a band, he is a one man band himself at local spots and party events.
Ukulele Coaching
Ukulele has a vibrant tone all its own and creates a truly special sound for supporting songs. It is a great instrument for younger children for whom the guitar is a little out of reach and also a fantastic way for teens and adults to play music they love. Janak’s approach to ukulele will help build your finger dexterity while also solidifying your chord knowledge as you move from first melodies to complex rhythms and more!
Bass Coaching
With bass instruction, Janak has developed a technique that encompasses both rhythmic and melodic bass playing. Though playing the bass can seem akin to playing the guitar, there exist a number of important distinctions from both a musicianship and technique perspective.
Janak can guide your fingers from taking their first ‘walk’ on the bass to being the musical ‘glue’ of a gigging band. Janak also has extensive experience playing and singing bass while fronting a band so, for those who aspire to sing and play on the bass, Janak is a one-stop shop.
