John Heinze teaches at 7DC three days a week, and just loves working with people. He is a great listener, and a laid-back, patient, and friendly person with great energy. He can customize a great lesson for you regardless of your ability or background, thanks to his wealth of teaching material, exercises, and beats. John will really stretch and grow your playing ability, understanding of rhythm, and how to play in a band.

John has a joint music degree from Parkland College and Northeastern Illinois University. He has a real thirst for knowledge and is constantly practicing and improving his own skills.

John plays in Aztec Sun, a really killer funk/soul band that has emerged as one of the hottest acts in DC.

John currently teaches Wednesday through Saturday.
