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.

For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More

I am a dedicated and experienced guitarist who loves helping aspiring guitarists achieve their goals with the instrument. I have played guitar myself for about 15 years, the last five or so professionally. I've had the opportunity to perform throughout Texas doing my own arrangements of contemporary music on classical guitar, performing at venues such as the Mansion on Turtle Creek and the Four Seasons. Music is my number one passion in life and I hope to help share that love with all the students I work with! Read More

I believe to really be in a state to learn the individual should be relaxed and comfortable. I take a very laid back conversational approach to my lessons while still retaining focus and structure. Every lesson will be slightly different depending on the students skill level, experience and musical interests but every lesson has a focus on musical rudiments and then exploring those concepts through classic songs. When you understand music, every song , riff or lick because a lesson. 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

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has not developed the necessary strength to hold an instrument, practicing will be of little avail as they need time to mature. However, regardless of when they can start, I would highly recommend that you have them get started with exposing them to all different types of music. This is especially true if your child is anywhere from third trimester to 2-3 years of age where they can either harness or "prune" off the natural born ability to hear music with what's been called absolute pitch or perfect pitch recognition. Plus, listening to music will inspire them to learn more about the subject giving them a great advantage that I never experienced in my early years. Help them out; it's really darn important to get them involved ASAP!
When will I start to see results?
If all goes well, the first day you should have seen and felt elevations by way of building passion and desire to learn and gain more from your future experiences. However, just as many people fail in many other endeavors in life, it is possible that if no efforts are made, that you will not see results, EVER! That's right, why not address the elephant in the room, which is to say, you will learn in due time that the student is the best teacher.
As my favorite teacher and professor passed on to me his phrases, I will forward them to you:
Embrace the Process,
Trust the Process,
Enjoy the Process!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Being efficient is a product of acquiring and honing various tools. Over time they will allow you to master any type of music with ease and great enjoyment. There's a long list of tools that I, or any competent educator for that matter, can offer you. It's important to use one tool at a time for maximum benefit.
Three of the most effective tools I have come across for simple mastery thus far: is singing all of the melody, singing the harmonic layers separately - but treated like a melodic line, and singing the bass. It is important to note that while singing, we must have a clear musical intent in mind so as to transfer this musicality to our instruments. The final tool, for now, is practicing v e r y s l o w l y. It should seem meditative. While being fully aware of mind and body, we can pinpoint the errors of our understanding greatly with this tool.
Overall, if you give time and effort, in an accurate and consistent manner, and rotate the use of these tools, over long periods time but broken up in small manageable goals, one can achieve a staggering amount of progress in minimal amounts of time. It's fun to practice getting better!
From my experience, I highly recommend having a dedicated teacher to help teach and develop these tools with the student.
