Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Acoustic Guitar
I have been playing music for over 15 years and have earned two degrees in music (University of Colorado, Manhattan School of Music). Some of my teachers include the world class Orin O'Brien and Tim Cobb from the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Orchestra. In my undergrad I was a finalist for the annual concerto competition and have I performed internationally in Canada as well as Japan. I currently teach bass and guitar lessons with students in Park Ridge, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Wheeling and I am looking to expand my student base. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele
I try to incorporate some form of a goal to achieve, whether its a recital, audition, or just an informal get together with another student. In order to reach these goals its very important to instill proper practice techniques. So for weekly assignments, I have the student's practice scales, finger exercises, and chord changes. At each lesson, we review the previous week's assignment and address any playing challenges or difficulties. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Often I do use Mel Bay or Hal Leonard books to get a student started reading, but try to shift to popular music as soon as possible to keep the repertoire interesting and relevant for the student, as well has their families and peers. As the student develops, students will learn to expand on these ideas with theory based improvisation to "make the song their own." For More Advanced students, we can work from the Real or Fake Books, or the Ireel App to increase improvisational experience and confidence. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I have been playing guitar for 10 years. I want to pursue a career as an artist, playing around the world. I am new to giving music lessons but I cannot wait to start sharing the joy of music. I graduated from SUNY Westchester Community College with a degree in Liberal Arts. This degree is serving as a stepping stone to transfer into a four year school. I plan on continuing my study of music around the world, majoring in Music Education. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I come from a diverse and varied musical environment. As the son of two professional musicians, I learned very early on the value of being a multi-instrumentalist. I continued on in Piano, Trumpet, and eventually guitar, all the way through college and beyond. I've been blessed with many different types of opportunities from playing weddings, to political events, fundraisers, and touring the country and internationally. I've also been fortunate enough to who have been involved in songwriting and composing for all styles of music, and many different instruments and musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Keyboard
My teaching style is a mixture of a relaxed, conversational feel combined with strong focus. I will constantly insist on stern focus on the material being played- offering big picture ideas as to why a piece is being practiced in a certain way, while asking the student to tell me why such and such a method makes sense. Very small mistakes in the music will be cause to stop and refocus. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The more you practice what I have taught you, the better a musician you will be. Practice as much as you can or want to until you get as good as you can or want to be. I can't force you to practice, but I can give you the steps necessary to become as good of a musician as you potentially could be. I will teach you the necessary steps to becoming a fantastic musician, if you decide to practice what I teach you and learn it on your own, you will eventually become a good enough musician to perform and also teach others what you have learned.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Does your child want to learn so badly that he or she is begging you to find a way for them to learn their desired instrument? That's when you know they are fully ready. If your child says they want to learn how to play music, like playing piano for example, then it is your turn to make that happen. Once you make that happen, I will continue to make it happen. They won't be able to learn what they want without a teacher to guide them. I would gladly be that teacher and I am willing to help anyone at any age.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results as soon as you meet me. We will go over exactly what you want to go over and I will make it as fun as possible. You will be able to learn at your own pace and I will be able to teach you the methods that I came up with to get myself where I am today. You will see the best results when you take what I have taught you and then learned from it and practiced it so that you can remember what I taught you so that we can move on to improving your skills as a musician. You are the one that is in control of making yourself receive positive results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I didn't really have any teacher. I was born to play music and I made that happen on my own. I have an uncle that taught me a few chords on the guitar when I was six years old. A few months later after I learned some chords, I started teaching him some stuff that I improvised on. He would show me a Beatles song, I would correct him and tell him that the chord he showed me is actually a little more complicated than what is on the record. My perfect pitch helped me to learn every instrument and I used that to teach myself what I hear in other songs.
