Influenced by the ancient teachings of tai chi and qigong, Joe Rogers has been teaching students how to access their creativity since the early 1990s. His playing style spans many genres, with self-expression being paramount. When cultivating musicians, he divides the teachings into form and content: form is the technique and style being played, and content is the wisdom behind the playing, which is an expression deeper than emotion.
In addition to his work with Berklee students, Rogers's clients include performing professionals from the Boston area. He also has a thriving private practice with the general public.
