Josh Lattanzi has spent thirty years as a working musician in New York. He has recorded and toured with Norah Jones, appeared on Broadway, and performed with some of the most respected artists in contemporary music.
Josh works with adults and young musicians at every level. For adults — whether returning to the instrument after years away or pushing toward something more serious — lessons are built entirely around your goals, your musical interests, and where you want to go. For younger students, Josh offers rigorous instruction that builds genuine musicianship — the kind that stands out.
Lessons cover the full range of what it means to play well — technique, music theory, ear training, traditional notation, fingerpicking, flatpicking, soloing, self accompaniment, songwriting, and performance. Every curriculum is built around the individual student.

I didn't know one thing about playing guitar when I started taking lessons from Josh. He is the best kind of teacher. He loves music, is so skilled, patient and knowledgable, teaches so well, and can tell what's going to help you move into a new level of learning but paces it so you don't get overwhelmed and give up. I returned to taking more lessons since this pandemic happened, and they have totally saved me. I'm writing songs differently, staying sane, plus get to spend an hour each week with one of my all-time favorite hangs.
I’m having a total ball playing guitar again after a long hiatus and Josh’s instruction has made it so much more rewarding. He’s helped me envision the kind of player I could become and contextualizes the lessons in support of that.
