Anthony studied at the Mannes School of Music, The New School, and Piero's School of Music and studied classical guitar privately with Professor Kevin Gallagher, jazz with Jack Wilkins, and violin with Sheila Mendel. Mr. Sanacore has, in addition to his years of study, read hundreds of guitar and music books based on methodology, theory, arrangement, composition, etc. He has taken the time to learn thousands of musical pieces of varying genres, from jazz to classical to rock and beyond.

 

His performance instruments include guitar, bass guitar, oud, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and violin. He has had the honor of performing in rock bands such as Young and Fabulous (Woodstock 99), No Future, Who Killed Bambi, and Looney Tunes, to name a few. Anthony has also played classical guitar for private and public audiences throughout his career as a guitarist.

 

Specializing in private and small class instruction for guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, and mandolin, Mr. Sanacore covers a wide range of genres, including classical, jazz, rock, blues, funk, bebop jazz, Gypsy jazz, swing, ragtime, rhythm and blues, and reggae.

 

"My objective in my teaching is to bring each student to their true performance potential by enriching them in theory, composition and by encouraging creative thought. I use various media to support my students and adjust my focus on their natural abilities and varied interests. My wide range of musical styles lends itself to keeping the student musically stimulated as I adhere to their interests without compromising my pedagogical system. I would like to be available to students who yearn to appreciate the very heartbeat of this craft." – Anthony Sanacore
