Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Acoustic Guitar

My methods are based on what I have personally tried and proven to be beneficial. The three main methods I find to be extremely important are the Arban book, and the Clarke technical and characteristic studies. In addition, I've found equally important the Earl Irons long tone and flexibility exercises. I like to find out what the student is most interested in a tailor the practice regiment accordingly. Once we start to master the basics, we can move on to specific musical styles that the student wishes to pursue. Read More

For the past three years I have been a part of the Seminole State College music program and for two of those years I was taking private lessons under Steve Luciano, one of the best jazz/blues guitarists in Central Florida. Steve taught me most of what I play today which is jazz, bossa nova, funk, and blues. Aside from those genres, I love to play acoustic, Latin, and fusion styles of guitar. Read More

Over the years I've really come to appreciate being a music instructor. I've never found it boring. Its always interesting and a great opportunity to grow as well. I've been playing music in Bands, Orchestras, and Jazz Ensembles since 1975. I've recorded multiple albums of my own original music. Nowadays I spend most of my musical time teaching, composing, and recording original music. I have great passion for electronic music in particular and enjoy working with synthesizers, software, and other various analog and digital devices. Read More

I have roughly two years of teaching experience (interspersed). In the past, I have not had the chance to grow my business due to the lack of time to devote to it. Recently, my schedule has become more flexible and I would love to add more students! I took six years of cello lessons under some of central Florida's most esteemed teachers. I have also had the same priviledge with the piano. Read More

I've always loved the power of music and sharing my knowledge and experience of it with others. I've been playing the piano and guitar since I was in high school, either with friends or just playing solo pieces. I've been reading music since middle school, when I picked up the trombone in the school band and was introduced to what music can do you for you as well as whatever group you're in. Read More

Lessons are usually pretty casual. I like to use a book so that we always have a clear path. Students can request that their lessons be more vigorous (say if you're auditioning for a part or instrument for some activity) but otherwise, I tend to keep things more laid back. Read More
