Alan Cohen is a formally trained multi-instrumentalist. He teaches guitar, bass and piano to students of all ages and levels. He is well-versed in rock, jazz, blues, latin and classical music. He can help you with technique, reading, improvised soloing, theory, songwriting and composition, or just teach you your favorite songs.

Alan teaches out of his Chelsea studio, in a clean, friendly and comfortable environment. He has four electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, one electric bass, an electric keyboard and an upright piano available for student use. Alan uses many of the books and notes compiled at Berklee in his lessons, and supplements this material with real world playing tips. He also uses his digital recording gear to make rhythm section tracks that students can play along with, to simulate an ensemble situation. Most importantly, music is downright fun up at Studio 9C.
