Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
I have been playing andteaching in the Baltimore - Washington area since 1977,and have performed for the Smithsonian Institution, the Governor of Marylandand the White House. These experiences, along with my education courses, helped shape the way I teach. Every student is different, which is why I love customizing a long term plan that is right for THEM. Helping to fulfill a student's dream is a satisfaction that never grows old, and it is always a thrill when a student masters a musical challenge! Read More

I began my teaching journey in high school when I taught lessons to my classmates, family and friends because I knew teaching was a crucial aspect of information retention. I started teaching professionally in college in order to help pay for tuition. I was teaching guitar lessons as well as teaching students how to use recording equipment in order to make recordings for auditions and class projects. My studio is located in a beautiful, naturally lit forest setting located near Annapolis, Maryland. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Flute Drums Piccolo Acoustic Guitar
First of all, I am someone who took formal private lessons for drums and flute from 5th grade all the way through college. I have been at School of Rock for about a year, where I am responsible for many individual as well as group lessons. I have taught a wide variety of ages ranging from 5-23, and I am extremely open to adult lessons. I am a firm believer that it's never too late to learn and that adults are more able to appreciate musical accomplishments. Read More

Another excellent feeling for me as a teacher is when students older than I leave with the satisfaction that comes with improving their musical knowledge and skill as well as an appreciation for how vast the spectrum of musical knowledge is: how even the greatest instrumentalists can and do spend a lifetime learning music. Teaching is truly a rewarding craft and I am always open to offer my knowledge to those who are open to learning it. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not that I know of.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest thing to master as a guitar or bass player is the physcal strength, flexibility and coordination of the fingers and hands. The left and the right hands have to develop different capabilities theateventually work together to create musical tones and rhythms.
Beginning students sometimes find it very diffucult to play enough to grow callouses on their "fretting" fingers so they can press the strings down without too much pain.
I think it is true for all instruments that maybe the biggest challenge is staying with it over many years, so that your growth as a person can show up in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wanted to play trumpet and bugged my parent for at least a year about it. I signed up for lessons in school but found teachers mostly old and uninspiring. It's where I learned to read music and develop an appreciation for musicians. My real inspiration came from a friend who lived up the street from me and wanted to teach me how to play so we could start a band some day. I sold my trumpet for my first guitar and that got mr going.
After that I was fortunate enough to meet some great players and take a few private lessons. Now there are some many learning resources online to keep me inspired. Honestly, my students are an ongoing inspiration to me to keep improving.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I switched to guiter because I wanted to play contemporary music I liked, what was rock and folk back then. Guitar and bass seemed to me to be better suited for those styles. You can't overlook personal taste and youthful enthusiasm when deciding an which instrument to play.
I think everyone has some kind of musical talent, just like everyone can do math. But some of us love math and the rest of us use it as needed but don't go to bed at night dreaming about multiplication tables. We can all appreciate music but the musicians among us often know what they like to hear and want to imitate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to learn music, then learning it.
Learning how to teach music by teaching it.
Performing before live and appreciaative audiences.
Seeing my students progress in their learning.
Seeing myself continue to progress as a musician and teacher ... still, even after 40+ years of playing and studying.
Developing into a much better singer and learing how to be an entertainer, as well.
Using my experience teaching world cultures to enhance my understanding of the history of music and the role it has "played" in the on-going evolution of culture.
