Dylan McCue

Miami,Florida

Summary

Touring musician, songwriter, music producer, guitar player/instructor with extensive experience in creative collaboration, branding, event promotion, and music performance. I think the most valuable skill I've developed through my 5+ years as a music instructor and 15+ years of collaborating with musicians and creatives is dealing with people. Through working with individuals, I've learned how to quickly recognize someone's learning and communication styles and then adapt accordingly. My involvement in group rehearsals has taught me a great deal about conflict resolution, which is especially difficult when dealing with children. I bring patience, adaptability, and communication skills that greatly enrich client experience.
