I have been teaching music since graduating with a Bachelor's degree in music education in 1991. While I have had an active performing career, I have always had more of an interest in teaching. I have taught privately in my own music studio, taught elementary music and choir, high school music theory and guitar, published my own series of method books and given seminars to teachers on developing their own guitar programs as well as infusing technology into their lessons.

Having graduated college only less than a year ago, my field teaching experience is minimal, but I did teach/tutor occasionally during my formal education. At Carnegie Hall I worked in part as a bandleader and arranger for my youth ensemble and acquired basic arrangement and collaboration skills. At Berklee I worked briefly as a music theory tutor and helped fellow students more cohesively grasp basic principals of harmony. As a guitar teacher, I try to incorporate the elements that I love most about playing and not only cover basics but also unlock a love for the instrument in my students. Read More

My teaching style is based on having fun and enjoying music. I work with my students to set goals and reach them. I use my song based approach to encourage my students because one of the main reasons one picks up an instrument is to be able to recreate the music they love most. By doing this I can cater to my students' needs and desires as musicians. Read More

Musical education is not only for future musicians, the skills that are gained in my class will enhance the student’s understanding of music in general and give them a degree of confidence that will place them at a higher social standing later in life. Knowledge of music and the mechanics of it will expand their pool of social activities and provide them solace in times of idleness or difficulty. Read More

I have done both the orginal and cover scene, including the hard rock/heavy metal era, to classic rock, to oldies / motown, to reggae/calypso, to disco/dance music, to pop/ top 40, to modern rock, etc. I also play some classical music (I.e. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.) on my guitar. I have been teaching guitar since Jan 2003 (i.e over 10 years now). Read More

I tend to start beginners off with a typical book, usually by Mel Bay or Hal Leonard. I find these books to provide a good basis for music reading and building the required skill set to master their instrument. In addition to those materials, I find music through various on-line sites and from my inventory that students are interested in playing and compliments their abilities. For my adult students, I curtail the lessons to focus on the songs they want to play and understand their goals for playing at this stage in their life. 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 also write my own music, and would be happy to allocate lesson time to songwriting. I took guitar lessons for years at School of Rock Montclair, and I also attended the Berklee School of Music Guitar Sessions Summer Program during the summers of 2015, 2016 and 2017, where I studied mainly blues guitar and music theory.
