Hetzler's Music is owned by Ed Hetzler...

Hetzler's Music was established in 2002 as a private music studio for children and adults. It is owned and operated by Ed Hetzler. Ed has played and performed for over 25 years as a folk musician. He is a member of the Hudson Cultural Council and the Art's Alliance.

My function as a music teacher is to help students become active participants in music. I work with the earliest beginners through advanced intermediate students. I challenge students by setting individually achievable goals. Along the way I strive to impart an aesthetic sense and an understanding of the value music brings to the human experience.

Prior to starting Hetzler's Music Ed spent 27 years in the corporate world providing risk assessments and giving risk management seminars around the world. Learning to adapt his communication style to match such a diverse audience gives Ed a well rounded approach to teaching. Ed is also a practiced listener: Not just with an ear for music, but to the nuances of frustration that beginning students face.

Ed plays the fiddle, guitar, mandolin, piano and tenor banjo. He is available for performances and is the creator and manager of the popular fiddle tune MIDI site Hetzler's Fakebook.

I had the honor of having Ed Hetzler play for Newton Open Studios. He was a wonderful addition to our event. The music was beautiful, lively and fitted our occasion so well. The playing was masterful and Ed is a delight to work with.

I recommend adding the live music of Ed Hetzler to any occasion. I, for one, certainly will not plan a special occasion without him. Thank you.
