PAUL BATTLES
Paul began playing the guitar at age 13 with a strong
background in piano. Paul enrolled at Boston’s Berklee
College of Music in the fall of 1994 and discovered a
love for jazz, particularlu guitarists such as Joe Pass and
Tal Farlow and arrangers Nelson Riddle and Gil Evans. At
Berklee, Paul continued to shudy the guitar while work-
ing toward a Bachelor of Music degree in Contemporary
Writing and Production, which he received in 1998. He
developed a hands-on, practical instruction method that
teaches music fundamentals, teory and improvisation
through playing and analyzing popular songs. He per-
forms regularly with his bands, The Syndicate and De-
bacle on the shoreline and in New York City.
