Again, as stated above, my approach is based on the proven CAGED system, and stresses mastery of the basics, using the language and concepts of "classical", jazz and blues -in particular. I begin by establishing what students (already) know and don't know about music and their chosen instruments, making connections between pre-existing knowledge and concepts, and "filling in holes" -while teaching these basics. Then, as soon as students are able, we begin applying this knowledge -these concepts- to their preferred musical mediums -in addition to "branching out" to apply basic knowledge/concepts/skills to increasingly more advanced applications.

After receiving my Associates degree in music from Suffolk County Community College I studied at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I majored in music composition and had a desire to write film music and compose new guitar pieces. I really enjoy teaching , especially children, and watching students grow in confidence and ability. I take my role as an educator seriously and I continue to push myself to grow as a teacher adapt new ideas and technology into my lessons and continuously try to expand my own skills and knowledge.

I teach music differently. When learning a skill, consistency equals success. Lessons have to be engaging, personalized and fun. When teaching my students, I find out what music they love, their favorite songs and artists. I find out what music they would love to learn. Then I let that guide my instruction by teaching the students songs they want to learn (while teaching chords, theory and ways to improve) starting with the easier songs to keep it fun and engaging.

Luckily I was taught by not only very high skill level players, but also by charismatic individuals that were also very good educators. As an educator, my main focus is to emulate their masterful ways of teaching and incorporate that into my program. I use various methods: how to read music, hear music and create music. Ear training is super important to me as it allows the student to learn "feel". Read More

I have been teaching since 1996, beginning as a teenager, teaching out of my house. From 2000-2002, I taught at Southern California's "Sounds of Music" music store, at one point having over 50 weekly students spread over 4 days. From 2002-2004 I taught at Pete's Music, also in Southern California. After taking a few years away from teaching I began giving mobile lessons in 2007, and taught all throughout Southern California. Currently I focus on giving lessons online, as well as in my own studio. Read More

I like to see students getting excited about learning new concepts in music. I also like to see music becoming a part of their lives and learning. I enjoy passing on what I've been given. I like to see music becoming a part of students lives and being an enjoyable experience for years to come. One area I specialize in is helping students with their band or ensemble music and giving them the extra help they may need to excel in their band or choir classes in school. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Of course I have a degree in music education. I feel as though music education is one of the biggest things that you said having your plane arsenal because it’s going to make you become a literate musician which is something several musicians like nowadays. Being trained in music theory will help you improve with whatever style or genre you’re in and will further your writing process and take things to the next level which I feel is though every musician needs. I’m not saying you have to have a degree to be a good musician but it’s definitely something that you need if you’re really wanting to be a solid musician.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me usually last 4 to 5 hours not days. And usually starts off with basic technique and metronome practice then gradually goes off into music theory concepts and then finishing it out with writing. I feel as though being creative writing is what’s really going to cultivate your sound and playing abilities from what you learn technique wise because you can’t have one without the other both technique and writing creativity tie hand-in-hand with taking your musical abilities and displaying your talent on a wide scale.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
To tell the truth I don’t really rely on books or DVDs to teach people all of my lessons are based off of my own experiences playing instrument live and in the studio with writing. I feel as though that is the best way to really teach a student and have them understand where you’re coming from. I’m not against books or other lesson plans because we all started with those but as a teacher I want to get my students in the habit of dealing with real live musical experiences which is the only way to really take your plane to the next level and improve. to tell the truth I don’t really rely on books or DVDs to teach people all of my lessons are based off of my own experiences playing instrument live and in the studio with writing.
