I'm a passionate musician looking to spread the joy of making beautiful music. I graduated from William Paterson University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Studies in 2008. The ability to pick up a guitar and make music has allowed me to travel to different places and meet different kinds of people. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences and hopefully help students make their own. I do my best to achieve every student’s musical goals by incorporating useful techniques and ideas to enhance the learning experience.
EXPERIENCE
My teaching experience dates back to when I took a music class in my final year of high school. My music teacher saw that desire in me to learn and I began to share that passion with others. Throughout my studies in college I have taught students of all ages. Some in a private format and others in a group session. Every student learns differently and has different goals. I encourage all students to pursue what they love. Playing with different musicians has helped me appreciate all styles of music. Hopefully my experiences and knowledge will help students find their own path and enjoy the music they create.
METHODS USED
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Mel Bay's Guitar Method. Once the student has a better grasp of the fundamentals, I will then select solo repertoire according to their abilities. This encourages children to learn new songs and lets them know they have progressed. For adults or more advanced players, I try to find out what their interested in playing. No matter what style, there is always something to learn that can be applied to all styles. Giving adult students this flexibility make the lessons fun and interesting. All students will have repertoire according to their abilities to help motivate them and let them know they have achieved something for themselves.
LESSON STYLE
All students learn differently, therefore it is important for me to capture their attention in different ways. I teach students according to their interests and their goals. Although there is this flexibility, I will always bring motivation and make the lessons as fun as possible to make the experience more interesting. Once the students express their goals and interests, I take over and help them find their path. I try to make the learning easy to understand in order to reduce boredom and make the lesson more entertaining.
