I am a guitarist, singer songwriter and composer, who loves working with students to help them develop a personal and creative playing and writing style. I place emphasis on learning through creating original compositions and improvisations. I think its extremely rewarding to be encouraged to put your own voice in to your music, as well as learn from other peoples ideas. I graduated from the SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory where I majored in Studio Composition. Read More

I focus on making sure student is comfortable and not lost at any point . Realistic expectations are important and we will assess these case by case. Pedagogy is extremely important to me as the future of many players is in the hands of a good teacher or a bad one.

We will try and make it as fun as possible but classical guitar and flamenco guitar are very demanding so lots of practice is encouraged to maximize your results . Read More
