Vincent Espinosa
Guitar, Brass and Woodwinds
Inspired by his dad, who would play for him when he was a kid, Vincent began playing guitar at thirteen years old. He has studied with John Clarizio, Mark Farley, and Doug Clarke. At the age of 18, he began teaching at Clarizio’s and has been here ever since. For the past couple of years, he has helped run the Rock Band, where students have performed at Blue Claws stadium, The Stone Pony, the PNC Bank Arts Center VIP area, and many more.
Vincent received his Bachelor’s degree in Music and Education from Monmouth University in 2017. He is currently the general music and band teacher for grades K-8 at both Bay Head School and Lavallette Elementary School.
Vincent loves to play the blues, jazz, and rock and roll, but has a strong belief that you can walk away learning something from any piece of music. With this, he always encourages students to learn songs they enjoy. He loves teaching music theory, composing and improvisation, as well as fostering the creative side to learning and playing instruments.
Vincent teaches guitar, bass, ukulele, and beginner band instruments.
