About

Since his early 20’s, Derick Hill has helped numerous guitarists and musicians achieve their goals. Now after 35 years of teaching guitar and bass privately and for other music education organizations nationwide, Derick is calling Music City home. Derick’s professional music background includes many years of live performance as a rock/blues/country/classical guitarist, recording/session musician, music production, instrumental music, songwriting and arranging.

His formal music education began in Charlotte, NC while attending Central Piedmont College for courses in Music History, Production and Music Business. In addition, Derick studied music theory and classical guitar from accomplished music educators while living in Raleigh, NC. Derick believes that each student is unique and strives to help them learn the genres they love while incorporating technique, theory, history and appreciation for both the guitar and music as a whole.
