Gerald Carboy

Born: March 22, 1950

I began playing the bass in 1962. As most players of that time period, I was greatly influenced by the rhythm & blues of America and the influx of British music. I studied music theory, composition and arranging with the Maestro Julio C. Malatesta. In later years studied jazz composition and improvisation with Anthony Bertolotti.

Beginning in 1976, I began formulating an instructional methodology for all instruments which brings together the approaches of philosophy, physiology, and music theory under one concept based upon my experience as a music instructor and performing artist. My methodology is primarily a study in improvisation and chord construction, but is widely known by many simply as THE METHOD and is widely used and accepted by musicians and music instructors across the nation.
