About Josh

My name is Josh and I am a graduate of ECU with bachelors degrees in Classical Guitar Performance and Music Theory/Composition with a concentration in Music Composition. I have been teaching privately for 7 years, starting out in Charlotte, NC in 2011. I teach Classical Guitar, Folk Guitar, General Guitar, Clawhammer Banjo, Beginning Bluegrass Banjo, Minstrel Banjo, Classic Banjo, and 2 and 3 finger folk banjo styles. I also teach Ukulele, beginning Piano, Mandolin, and am available for music theory tutoring, or I can teach Music Theory on top of instrumental lessons. I was on staff at The Wright School of Music for their entire 4 year run, and am currently on staff at Making Music and PC Sound as an instructor.

My favorite thing about teaching is the look on my student's faces when something they have been having trouble with finally clicks. That's something that I absolutely look forward to every single day.

I was living in Charlotte and attending Community College in 2011 and was continuously coming up short on money at the end of the month. I put an add on craigs list for banjo lessons and taught out of my bedroom there for two years before I moved to Greenville to attend ECU. Six years later I am on staff at The Wright School of Music and have a private studio at home doing what I love to do.

I have a degree in Classical Guitar Performance from East Carolina University, as well as a degree in Music Theory/Composition with an emphasis on Composition. I have been on staff at The Wright School of Music as a teacher since they opened their doors in May of 2014.

About the lesson

For beginning students I always start with a book. If a student already has a book, we start there, if not I have preferred books for each instrument that I teach. Once my student is comfortable with the basics of the instrument I try to gear the lessons towards that students musical interests. For the folk instruments this usually means our lessons start to function more as jam sessions, for Classical students we get deeper into technique and music theory.

I have worked with students of all ages. The youngest student I've taught has been four years old, I was teaching him to read music before he knew how to read words. The oldest student I have taught has been in his mid 70's probably with Parkinson's Disease that caused his hands to shake. I have also worked with several age groups in between.

Before agreeing to a weekly lesson I would suggest asking to meet with the teacher first. I would suggest asking the teacher to talk you through a typical lesson, and just talk about music to make sure your personalitites and tastes are a fit.

In April of 2017 I presented two recitals at East Carolina University. My senior guitar recital was first and I was very happy with the performance and reception.

The highlight of my time at ECU came two weeks later, when I chamber opera that I composed using traditional folk music as source material was premiered and very well received.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. Why do you want to learn to play this instrument?

2. What is it that drew you to the instrument, and what do you want to get out of your lessons?

3. Are you willing to practice enough to make the lessons worth it to you?

The best guitar teacher I've ever been around. The reason I say this is his patience and when you make mistakes he is like that is the same thing I would do. Plus if I can't reach this cord he will find another way to play it.

I took clawhammer banjo lessons from Josh in Charlotte, NC for 17 months until he moved to attend East Carolina Univ. He made me feel comfortable from the first lesson and made learning fun and exciting. Josh also provided historic background to the old time songs that he taught. I highly recommend Josh Campbell to anyone. He is an accomplished musician, dedicated teacher, and he is a good guy too.

I use a flat monthly rate system. It breaks down to four lessons per month. Some months there will actually be five lessons. In this situation the fifth lesson will serve as a free "bonus lesson" or will serve as a makeup lesson for any the student may have had to cancel. If I have to miss a lesson it will of course be rescheduled. Prices for a lesson at my studio are as follows:

Single Student: $100/month for 1 half hour lesson per week
Two Students: $150/month for 1 half hour lesson per week
Three Students: $200/month for 1 half hour lesson per week

If I come to you add $20/month. If I have to drive more than 10 miles one way add another $10/month.
