About
After graduating from Berklee in 1987 with a degree in Music Production & Engineering, I moved to NYC to help start the Sam Ash Music Institute. A year later, I moved to LA and began a 30+year career as a film and tv music composer, editor (Motion Picture Editors Guild), and audio engineer. See TonyDiMito.com/credits for a partial list of shows, CDs, and projects. Most notably, in 1995, I started working for Mike Post (composer for numerous tv shows including Law & Order, NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues, Rockford Files) at Westwind Media in Burbank. In 1999, I started working for Carsey-Werner TV (production company for numerous shows including That 70's Show, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Rosanne, and Cosby). I began adding reality shows to my credits within the last 15 years. I continue to write and produce music for libraries and shows.
I taught at the following institutions: Berklee College of Music (songwriting and audio departments) Sam Ash Music Institute (assistant director) Trebas Institute of Recording Arts (Hollywood) Burbank Music Academy. I currently teach in Arizona, part time, in the school district in music and A/V-Theater Tech.
I am looking for students who want careers in music. I prepare students be teaching all areas of music including acoustics, electronics, theory, performance, computers, music business, composition, notation, music production & engineering. As the industry has changed, musicians, more and more, need to be prepared for a wider range of jobs. I teach long lessons and cover many areas that relate to the main topic of the lesson. Even in starting out, when I teach about tuning, I cover the faster ways to tune, but also complex acoustic concepts like inharmonicity.
