Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Music Acoustic Guitar
Then from there I see what the student actually needs to do first according to where he is at. On learning guitar, what is focused on depends on what each student may have struggles in playing, so we would focus on those things but also strengthen the strong points. Even for beginners some are strong in certain areas and weak in other areas. I use the time that we have together very wisely and ensure that I don't leave the lesson with you confused about anything at all ever! Read More

If you are looking for a Classic teacher with classic teaching methods, you are looking in the wrong spot. I teach with an instant gratification method. You will still be just as skilled (if not more) as the rest of any other musicians out there but what you will have and develop is your own artistry and your own path as a musician. So many teaching styles try to make music more of a science rather than a passion. Read More

I've spent over half my life as a musician and I hope to help you have a lifelong love of music as well! Growing up in Upstate New York, I started on Cello when I was 9, but quickly made the change to Electric and Double Bass. I started my collegiate music education at Nazareth College of Rochester in 2014 as Classical Double Bass major. After a year there I transferred to SUNY Purchase to pursue a degree in Jazz Studies.

My teaching style is by assigning studies and etudes to develop fundamentals while simultaneously incorporating the learnt fundamentals into “real-time”, on the job training! I have learned all of my most valuable lessons while performing and being put on the spot; I will teach my students how to be prepared for any situation, not only in regard to music but also in relation to life, by having a calm and steady approach to the task at hand!

It is very important to set a high standard of playing and technique, so that learning is constantly happening. That said, that standard should be approached with compassion and humor, casting the lifelong pursuit of virtuosity an exciting challenge even when it's frustrating. Especially with youth, cultivating a positive attitude and discipline is a key to success. This can be done through musical study. It is important to me to keep the student engaged, and be clear about their motivations for studying: their parents and their own unique drive. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing does not mean practicing for hours on end. I believe there needs to be a balance between music, practice, and life. The proper technique is great for effective practice and technique is not just physical, it is mental too. I try to have my students practice ear-training, and learn music theory as well as play. This creates a well-rounded musician. I do not want to teach how to play an instrument. I want my students to learn all about music. This creates more than a musician. this creates a person who can take these skills throughout every aspect of life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I would say if your child asks to take lessons or shows an interest in an instrument than your child is ready to start to take lessons. I think five to six years old and up is a good age to start on certain instruments like piano. Guitar, bass, and other sting instruments are difficult because you would need a smaller scaled instrument in order for your child to play comfortably. Percussion instruments are a bit tricky as well, but like I said if a child shows interest it is always a good thing to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results immediately. However, it may not be great progress. There is a to think about when a child, or anyone is taking music lessons. The person uses memory that they might not have used before, physical movements are different, and the person is reading a whole new language. Try to notice the small things and focus on the small accomplishments. The small things will equate to more progress in the future. I also do not think it is about noticeable progress. For example, there are musicians who practice a piece, a few bars of music, or a new technique and the practice will not come through until months later. It is always different for different people. Just ask, "is my child happy?" or "am I satisfied with the lesson?"
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher who inspired to get into music. However, my first private teacher inspired me to go to college for music. He was a great inspiration to want to teach music and to want to learn. Now I have my masters degree from an ivy league university and I am going for a second masters degree and possibly a doctoral degree. The encouragement he gave me led me to play music professionally and make good money playing. I would have been lost without his guidance and advice. I am very thankful for his support.
