As hard as I worked to become a musician, I have worked at least as hard to become a great music teacher. I love teaching music! It is something I cared about enough to open my own music school in Orlando, FL called Broadway Music Academy in 2006. I have taught for many established music schools throughout Florida, New York, and New Jersey. I bring this experience to every lesson I teach and continue to learn new and exciting ways to engage students. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with simple chords and teach them a few fun songs. If the student is interested in learning how to read music, I will use Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance if they are interested in performing live. For adults, I like to find out what they are most interested in, whether it is a specific genre, (jazz/classical) or if they are more interested in learning songs (classic rock/pop/etc.) or songwriting.
