My teaching style is conversational. We created a project or topic. I'll tell you my experiences & listen to your questions. I will customize exercises or solutions to any issue you may have.

Applying these abilities to songs the students are interested in is the next step. Read More

I started playing guitar when I was 7, and music has been a huge part of my life ever since. I've performed countless shows in the New York/New Jersey area as well as many around Europe.

I seek to guide students through this process, with whatever outcomes they seek. Read More
