Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I have been teaching guitar for more than 10 years. I have taught different ages (6 to 60!) and students with opposite tastes and styles of music and that made me aware of the many possibilities and directions one can take. My experience as a teacher taught me to adapt to the students goals while being able to communicate the formal methods or strategies that define the understanding of music as a whole. Read More

Teaching and watching my students grow and develop as musicians is truly a rewarding experience. I help them accomplish their goals by understanding where they are and by setting challenging, fun, and realistic goals for each lesson. I'm a patient teacher who believes in being positive and giving honest and consistent feedback to my students. My goal is to create a disciplined but friendly environment for me and my students where respect and focus are the main pillars of every lesson allowing this way to enjoy the music learning process.

I believe in music lessons there must be a balance. Especially on an instrument like guitar. Lessons should consist of a list of certain things almost like a checklist. First there is warm up and tuning. To make sure you are warmed up and in tune there are exersizes I like to start with my students. Once they are feeling warmed up I like to move on to sight reading and notation reading (practiced and unpracticed material) as well as scales, intervals, and arpeggios. Read More

Established New York musician. Berklee College of Music Graduate. I always loved music and listening to it with my family and friends. When I had the chance to learn and instrument and be able to actually make music, that opened my eyes to a whole new world and it changed me to become a better person and do better in other subjects. Now I have the chance to share my experience and knowledge with students and there is nothing that I enjoy more that that. Read More

I started teaching guitar as a teenager - my fomer piano teacher referred me to a neighbor who was inquring about where to find a guitar teacher. I felt honored that my piano teacher recommended me! Before I knew it, I was teaching quite a few kids in my old neighborhood of Bath Beach, Brooklyn. I have taught music ever since! My background in counseling helps me to meet students where they are at. Read More

The most important people in my life have always been my teachers. Teachers in my life have been to thank for my greatest triumphs and to no one else do I owe such a great debt. However, careless teachers have driven many students away from a musical life, and left indelible scars on others. Thus, it is with the greatest respect and acknowledgment of responsibility that I approach my teaching style. Read More

I started teaching In the mid 80's when I was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. I've been Consistently teaching since then. In 1994 I moved to NYC and had to start all over as I had to give up my Boston students. After a few months I built up a large student roster that lasted 10 years. in 2004 I relocated to the NJ suburbs, & while a number of nyc students would commute to my new location I built up my teaching practice that eventually led to a number of student ensambles & shows that would sell out The Bitter End in NYC!

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.
