I have enjoyed teaching music since I was in High School. I I enjoy using my experience as a multi-instrumentalist to teach students about the joy of playing with others. Social dynamics in music are important and once a student can learn the basics, I really enjoy encouraging them to find others to play with and learn to experience the music they enjoy on their own. Of course theory and regular practice are both very important. Read More

I have created my own method of teaching which I have perfected over the years. I create my own exercises and practice materials based on the level and interests of each individual student.

For over a decade, music has been my constant love and focus in life. I started off playing the piano (my sister is a professional classical pianist), but soon gravitated towards the guitar. At age 13 I formed my first band, writing all of the songs, playing guitar and singing because nobody else wanted to. This experience quickly assured me that making music was all I wanted to do. In the years that followed, I graduated from Umass University with a degree in creative writing, a passion that always coincided with music. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I began teaching drums in 2014. I decided to look into giving lessons because of my passion for drumming. I wanted to provide an opportunity for others to discover that same passion.

I developed the ability to listen to a song and play the drum part after only a few sessions. Read More
