I've been playing music my whole life. My father is my biggest inspiration. I started my training at Peabody when I was 5 years old in their music exploratory program. Next I studied cello for many years. When I was a teenager about 13 I started trying to hold my cello sideways and that's hone my father bought me an electric bass. In the NAVY I picked up the guitar and I've been professionally playing for over 25 years. Read More

I believe lessons should be fun. Yes, learning music can and should be challenging. But it also needs to be fun. I am a very performance-oriented teacher. So, once I get to know a student, we begin preparing to perform. If we are having fun while we work, we don't even realize we are working. Giving students really solid practice skills they can do on their own keeps them engaged. Read More

I started teaching guitar in High School in 2009, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 8 years. I took private lessons for 7 years from four different guitar instructors, so I know what works and what doesn't. My number one focus as a teacher is keeping my students engaged, and doing my best to ignite their passion for the instrument of guitar. I start with teaching proper technique, form, and posture, as well as the basic chord shapes and strumming patterns, and from there I teach songs that both put these new techniques into practice and adhere to the student's musical interests.

I was born in Joliet, IL to totally non musical parents. But at the young age of10, I discovered it. A music program for my class with live musicians playing realinstruments ignited my life long vocation. From that day to this, my fascination with music has only gotten stronger. After 5 years of accordion lessons I began to take an interest in the guitar and started taking lessons. Through the years I have not only developed a love for the guitar, but the love of teaching the guitar. Read More

I have a very personal teaching method to everyone. Depending on my student needs, I choose the book we go by. It can vary from Hal Leonard to Mel Bay or Jamie Aebersold. When I have classical guitar guys, I can pick between Andreas Segovia or Ted Tennant, etc. For jazz, for example, Frank Gambale or Scott Henderson, etc. Most important, I focus on fundamentals and discipline, making sure we have something new to explore every lesson if we can.
