Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
I typically like to start lessons with a warm up, and this is a good opportunity to see what level a student's technique is at. I immediately address anything that I see to be problematic in the student's technique, and we start working on ways to improve it as soon as possible. These can be simple exercises and when I see that my students are improving in these exercises and that their technique has gotten better, I always make sure that they also notice the difference and give them a sense of accomplishment.

As soon as I graduated high school, I began teaching with my old high school as an assistant. Over the course of time I began progressing in my playing which lead to more teaching positions in various styles and genres of music from Drumline to Jazz. Educating and passing along concepts is one of the most important roles as a musician. The goal is to give your students enough tools to surpass you as a mentor. Read More

I have enjoyed teaching music since I was in High School. I I enjoy using my experience as a multi-instrumentalist to teach students about the joy of playing with others. Social dynamics in music are important and once a student can learn the basics, I really enjoy encouraging them to find others to play with and learn to experience the music they enjoy on their own. Of course theory and regular practice are both very important. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 1992, I graduated from Baruch (CUNY) with a degree in Applied Music. I have performed in Nashville and in New York City which has been one of my greater experiences as a musician, and I have had the opportunity to play at Jazz and Country Western clubs. I also am part of the September Concert Event every year for the past 9 years performing with my students and holding a tribute with The Loupakis Gymnastics from Astoria in Athens Square Park.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that has the desire to study music should be allowed to take lessons, regardless of age. I believe that even if the student does not become a musician, playing an instrument creates discipline, character and it will give them an extra activity for them to do whenever they are stuck in their daily routine. A child cannot be involuntarily made to play an instrument when the parent or guardian wants to, it should come naturally and out of curiosity of the student, therefore creating interest and eventually passion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My main advice is to dedicate a healthy amount of time such as an hour minimum per day. I believe that concentration and effective use of time is more rewarding than many hours of unfocused and sparse practicing. I believe that it is effective to divide the practice time into two or more topics to allow for a more focused session. I also strongly recommend not to overdo any exercise or practicing routine when one is "Stuck", I recommend leaving it for another practice session or to partake on any other activity for a short while to enable mental health and clarity.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishment I am most proud of is
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my brother wanted to play Guitar. We both signed up for lessons and after less than a year, I was already taking mine and my brothers lesson because I felt so passionate about the instrument. I stayed with the guitar because it was an instrument with which I connected and felt that I could express myself. I also played piano briefly before the guitar but not having the correct teacher led me to abandon the instrument and never really have the passion to play it again.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first guitar teacher taught me lessons consecutively for eight years and he is the main reason that I went into music. My teacher inspired me by always giving me positive feedback and by adapting the lessons to what I wanted to learn. His attitude was always motivating me to become better while being very demanding of what he expected me to achieve in each lesson. This led me to practice everyday since I can remember and it is what led me to become the musician that i am today. A teacher will always have a fundamental role in the students development and love towards music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will be seen depending on how much the student practices and takes seriously their music education. A teacher cannot make a student better, only the student. The teachers role is to give guidance and suggest new ideas and methods that will enable the student to learn better but it ultimately comes down to the student to see progress. As a teacher, encouraging the student to learn the music they want and giving them a comprehensive lesson plan and practice schedule is a great way to start.
