Instruments: Guitar
I simply love what I do and do what I love when it comes to playing and teaching guitar. As I said before, I approach the student with the method of playing "by ear", so that when they have heard the chord(s), and song(s) a time or two they will have the ability to play them from memory. Read More

Every student starting off deserves to feel comfortable and stress free when learning. Music is there to help us let go of every day life and to have something to express our creativity. No one should feel like playing music is a job and anything the student wishes to learn will be taught to them in a friendly environment. Students will learn everything to help them get started on their journey of playing the music they love the most and getting a nice jump start towards becoming teachers themselves. Read More

I have been a self-taught, hobby guitar player for over 20 years. I am heavily influenced by Rock, and Blues guitarists, but I am also a fan of Classical Flamenco guitar. I have been teaching beginner guitar and Music Theory for a little over 1 year. I enjoy teaching beginner and intermediate guitar students of all ages. I can teach you the basics of tuning your guitar, memorization of the fretboard, proper fingering and hand positions, as well as written music theory concepts and how they apply to the guitar neck.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As a teacher my goal is not to simply teach a student how to play or sing a certain song. My goal is to teach my students how to use the discipline of music to help them to develop their character. To that end I emphasize learning music fundamentals well and being able to put them into practice playing or singing in public at every opportunity. I also believe that playing with other musicians helps students to solidify their skills so I encourage them to play in an ensemble at every opportunity. Read More

I earned my Associates Degree in 1984, in Music Performance, from Community College of Rhode Island. I've been playing bass guitar and double bass, professionally for over 35 years in various bands, groups, orchestras and with international stars such as Ray Charles and Andrea Bocelli. I've played in locations such as Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, Maryland, New Jersey, and as far west as Chicago an Detriot. I have performed with several classical orchestras, and as principal bassist with The Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
My teaching style stems from my philosophy that music is a language. So my approach is focused on using the skills and knowledge while "speaking", or playing, with other musicians. That is why my approach is focused on jamming. After the student can understand how to make the instrument sound, I immediately give them the oppertunity to put their skills into practice. I will take time from each lesson to just jam with the student and allow them to explore the instrument. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I was in college, one of my dorm mates played guitar. I borrowed it from him and taught myself how to play pretty quickly. I started playing bass while recording and wanted a specific part. Understanding keyboard and music theory enables me to figure out almost any instrument. I can play cello and double bass, and have even made sense on a saxophone.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my large family, for generations. Although both of my sons play but not professionally. Most of my family seem to become doctors. Not something I'd want to do.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It just kind of happened. A friend and I started playing together when we were about 15. We had a band within a year. One thing led to another and we started becoming popular. It was so much fun. We were offered a recording contract with London Records, (the Rolling Stones label, at the time), but we were all underage, and parents wanted us to go to college, and not be tied up. In retrospect it was probably good that we didn't sign. I've seen many young people, with success in music, have it ruin their lives.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I did not finish my music degree because I was offered a tour with a rock band and decided to go that route. Honestly, I learned more from doing that tour, than I would have if I'd stayed in school. I have a diploma, from New York University, in computer technology. I realized early on that computers and music were going to be important for each other in the future. I am expert in several computer recording programs, and have taught computer production and recording to several students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love performing any type of music almost anywhere. The energy one gets from performing in front of people is incredible and addictive. There is no feeling like it that compares to anything else I've ever experienced. I have played all over the world in all different size and type of venue. My dream piece would be to perform one of my original compositions to an audience that pays attention and connects with me through my music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have expertise in technical theater and really enjoy that. I also love to write. I am currently working on an original film script. I also love to cook and think culinary school would be fun. I am a pretty good amateur chef.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like and play all styles of music, as long as it is good. I am constantly looking for what is new, musically, in the world. I have recently discovered a new band and genre, that I find quite interesting. The Hu Band from Mongolia. They are gaining success in Europe and quite interesting and unique. They are a Metal Band, using traditional, ancient Mongolian instruments and Mongolian throat singing. Worth a listen and look. They're on Youtube.
