I custom tailor my lessons to each individual student so that they are inspired and equipped to develop both their love and ability for playing. Balancing this with the proper techniques, understanding and exercises affords the opportunity to assimilate the material on a practical, useful playing level. The Joy that the student experiences in their playing as they develop gets transferred to the listening audience and is a very rewarding experience! Read More

My teaching experience began in 2016, when I enrolled in a degree program in secondary education at Southern Connecticut State University. At Southern, I learned very much about human development, and teaching methods and strategies. I also gained over 120 hours of classroom observation experience. Upon graduating with a B.A. degree in Physics (Southern doesn't offer music education degrees), I was hired as a Paraprofessional in a New Haven Public School. Read More

With my educational background and passion for music it would be difficult to find another instructor with more depth.I have taught guitar for over 20 years to students ranging in ages from 6-60. I have performed with and coached multiple bands, ensembles, soloists, and private students and I have loved every minute of it. In my experience I have found that, with the right instructor, exploring a wonderfully dense topic such as music heightens discipline, motivation, focus, confidence, and sensitivity. Read More

I have experience teaching on both a private lesson and public school environment. I started to teach private lessons shortly after my undergrad career and during my grad school career. During my grad school program I had the opportunity to teach both at a elementary and high school level in General Music and in Strings. I during these placements in the public school I wrote out lessons plans and taught music theory and instruments to the students. Read More

With over ten years of experience as a songwriter, performer, teacher, and recording artist, I have harnessed my passion for music, using it as an effective tool in empowering youth and adults from all over the world to build self-confidence through self-expression. Most recently, I developed a community music learning program which serves to give back to the community through music lessons and workshops that create accessibility and opportunity for beginners to pick up an instrument or write a song, to build upon musical self-expression.

Depending on a student's level of experience I use either the Mel Bay Modern Method or the Berklee Modern Method for the development of reading skills. More importantly, I can draw upon a large library of transcriptions and instructional materials that I, myself, have developed over the last three decades, supplemented by recordings and videos. I make sure that a lot of the lesson is spent actually playing, and like to give the student many opportunities to play along with someone else-namely, me. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am actually pursuing my dream job, being a college professor, teaching philosophy and education. I love music, but philosophy and education is something of a higher power for me. I study national education policy and state education policy. I hope one day I am able to change the way federal and state policy is enacted. I believe the state of education is going the wrong way. Teachers should have complete control of what they teach and how they teach it. This is something I am really passionate about.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I answered this question above. I love everything. I am not opposed to playing any style. I have played country, celtic, funk, blues, jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, folk rock, and more. I do love playing indie rock though. As long as I am creating something new I am happy. Music is infinite and you can play something twice and it will be different each time. That is why music is special. Music can be difficult and easy, but it is always fun. I will play anything at anytime. There is nothing I would not play.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I had tolerant just about every instrument in my music education program. I had to take piano for two years in college, classical piano and jazz piano. This helped me out greatly when it came to composing songs. The piano is like having every instrument at your finger tips it is the best instrument. I love paying other instruments because it is a new world for me both physically and mentally. I am like a kid in a candy shop. I recently started playing trumpet because it seemed challenging, and it is, but it is very fun.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does not run in my family. I took the pains of learning how to play music at the age of twenty-four years old. I learned how to read music, learn by ear, and physically play. This was an amazing experience for me. It helped me see that discipline is the main source in learning to play music. I had a great work ethic before I started to play and now it is even stronger because of music. I am the only one in my family that plays music. I learned from friends, teachers, and on the job training.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I fell into playing music professionally. I was professionally playing before I went to college for music. I played about four to five nights a week an learned everything from playing live, sort of. I practiced about eight hours a day on top of working, building houses. I had the passion, drive, and want to go somewhere with music. I made it happen by playing and practicing. I made sure that I was humble, reliable, and good at what I did. These reasons are the only reasons why I was able to play professionally.
