I began teaching private lessons in 2018 for double bass, electric bass, jazz theory, repertoire and improvisation. After graduating from Berklee I began teaching bass for the Hopkinton Music Association, a non-profit supporting music education in Hopkinton Public Schools. In 2023 I was hired as a music teacher for Note-worthy Experiences Music Studio and Karen Amlaw Music, where I taught bass, oboe, and English horn. I love to help students find their artistic voices and discover the joy in music making. Read More

For Adults I talk about what styles and types of music they're into followed by a list of goals to see what they'd like to get out of lessons. I teach out of the following books "The New Breed", Gary Chester, "Drummers Complete Vocabulary" as taught by Alan Dawson, John Ramsay, "Syncopation for the Modern Drummer", Ted Reed. I also assign transcription projects for the student to perform. I like to provide enough of a challenge to keep the student motivated. Read More

My method varies depending on the student. If the student wants a traditional musical approach, and is interested in learning notation and theory, then we will usually start with the Hal Leonard Book Series. If the student doesn’t want to learn notes or the more advanced musical concepts, I usually just start by teaching them simple songs that they know from the radio, TV Shows or movies. Something to get them really excited about learning and practicing, and songs that they recognize and can show others. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 20 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio and students homes for the last 10 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

I'm an instructor that is always learning. I learn from my peers, professors and especially my students, and my goal when I give lessons is to pass everything I have and will learn to them. I'm currently going to school for Jazz Studies at SUNY Purchase College, and I perform in Pop, Funk and Jazz groups in the Westchester/New York area. I currently perform/record with groups like, singer/songwriter, Wendi Mancaku and pop band, Old Country Landscaping. Read More

The way i approach sharing knowledge with students is to present materials and concepts and then set about "right-sizing" the tasks based on each student's individual needs. Anything we want to play can be broken down into its component parts and we work to gain mastery of each element. It doesn't matter how small we make the task if we are progressing! Something may seem difficult, but we find the right way of working on it and we're off and running. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes my family is very musical. Dad is a guitarist and singer in some very popular local wedding bands and mom was a singer in bands. My older bro is a drummer and singer and got me out playing full time when I was 13 years old. They all continue to play part time.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Well it started from the moment I watched my dad play at a fair and then he told me if I practice I could get up and play along the next year I did.
I played with a buddy in highschool but only play a few talent shows and a few parties. But my bro was playing out and needed a full in when I was 13 I learned 42 songs the night before his show and played with him and it turned into my career
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
So I’m a rocker and I love Deep Purple my favorite song is Burn, it’s full of everything a guitarist loves, tone, riffs, scales great playing overall.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing the other instruments for recording purpose res and or live use.
They are somewhere similar to my main instrument the guitar so it came along quick
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Favorite style of music is classic Rock. All the songs are timeless. Nothing compares to it. So many hits. Great playing & real musicians playing everything on the recordings.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Trainer or something in the art world. Always been and artist since I’ve been a kid. The trainer would be from I love jogging. And it helps me stay in shape on stage and overall health.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’ve played for a talent show in 8th grade and won, than everyone after and won. I’ve played for pizza and played and played and accomplished playing concerts halls from 200 seats to 20,000 seats
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes my one student won solo awards in jazz band in school & he now just got accepted to Berkeley School of Music. He was well driven.
I’ve had a few other like that but this was most recent.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Well you can always learn. So much out their on the instrument. Different styles, techniques, tones, technology. So so it alll keeps you interested and working hard and feel accomplished at the end of the day.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have used a guitar book
But kinda made my own out of it.
Found over the years kids get bored easy. So I use parts of it at a time. And also want know what they are interested in and focus on that a bit.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to start off warming up, moving up and down the neck.
Than review some things from the week before, if they practiced it’ll go by fast. Than move on to the new lesson
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
as long as you put in 20 mins daily you with see results. If not you won’t see any and forget it all most likely. I want it fun but serious. Not super serious or you’ll get bored.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Lots of children are undecided I like to try a lesson first to see if they pick up and have interest I’m not afraid to tell the parents that the child isn’t interested
When will I start to see results?
The first day you will learn so much but I’ll review it all over and over again.
You will be able to play a few chords by the time you leave the first lesson
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Honestly my dad, I used to sit on his amp at various gigs and practices and realized that what I wanted to do.
It’s a great stress reliever, and using your abilities. It kept out of trouble when I was a youngster
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
3 reasons
1 my dad
2 KISS (Ace Frehley)
3 i was born blind and didn’t play sports or anything like that, this really took over my life, and I made a career out of it.
