I have been teaching guitar in NYC for the last 20+ years to both adults and kids. During that time I have also played in many bands working in New York City, Connecticut, New Jersey, and beyond, playing guitar, singing, and recording, co-leading the bands Mixtape and Small Multiples + recorded at the well known Bunker Studio by producer Aaron Nevezie. I received my BFA in jazz guitar performance from the New School in 2001 and also teach guitar at the Bank Street school on the upper west side of Manhattan. Read More

My teaching experience dates back from high school days teaching church, college, university choirs, and eventually soloists or ensemble group. I have had groups who become champions in multiple competitions, I have had students who became queens of jazz vocal competitions, I have students who eventually became professional musicians and vocal artists, and I coach too while they are in a recording studio especially with first timers. Some of my students love to write their own original songs and I help them be able to choose the right vocabulary, rhymes, rhythm, melody and all. Read More

I am a multi-instrumentalist teacher who loves bringing my experience on the bandstand and in the studio to students. I graduated SUNY Purchase specializing in jazz performance, have been on tour throughout the east coast and Midwest with 'The Element', and performed extensively in the Westchester and NYC area playing with 'Mokaad'. I have been fortunate enough to share the bandstand with greats such as Bernard Purdie, Charlie Lagond, and Gabriel Garzon-Montano. Read More

Although I have tutored math and English for the past three years, I am proud to say that Musika will be my first opportunity to teach and give lessons in music! This has been a dream of mine since high school, as I have had such amazing experiences with teachers. I write music and play in bands, which has given me a lot of x22DIY' experience. My students will not only learn about the guitar, but will learn about writing music, confidence in one's playing, stage presence, band etiquette, and the benefits of discipline when playing guitar.

I truly enjoy watching my students develop a deep and important love for music. I believe the way to facilitate that is to really get to know your students. Some students benefit from organization while others do better with a more relaxed approach. I take the time to understand what each individual needs and I reflect on what I can do to meet them where they are. My lessons come with structure AND flexibility. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose my primary instrument by chance. A friend asked if I would play bass in his band, and i said yes. He had an old bass laying around and I learned how to play by watching and listening to him. I fell in love with music and playing and finally took lessons. Playing the bass became my life. It has changed the way I think about everyday things in life. I hone in on small details and think about decisions I make all because I picked up my friends old bass. I do not know where I would be without it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of many musical accomplishments. When I first started playing I was asked to play gigs on Cape Cod, where I am originally from. I was paid very well and made connections that I hostel have til this day. Going to school for music is one of the biggest accomplishments. Going to school really helped me get organized with my music and life. I have managed bands and played in them. I have played really great venues in NYC, venues you hear your favorite bands have played. I have played with grammy award winning musicians, and have met countless friends through music.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had private students go on to high school bands and have been accepted to college because they have played music. I have students who were very grateful just to have played in my school band. Success, for them, is something I would hear when they said thank you to me for staying after school to help them learn a piece of music or a scale. I have given awards to my students because they have gone above and beyond what was asked of them. Some students have started their own bands in hopes of playing in NYC.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on your instrument is being as good as you want to be. Playing an instrument takes constant practice. You cannot stop just because you have reached your goal. You have to sustain your goal by practicing and learning more. Music is infinite in that way. I would say technique is very hard to master since there are many techniques to choose from, but learning when not to play is the even harder. Knowing when not to play makes or breaks a musician. Great musicians know when to lay out and when to play technical.
