Instruments: Guitar Drums

I have taught guitar, drums and music on and off over the past 30 years. From children to seniors and ages in between, I say practice makes perfect! As a teacher I encourage my students to progress. I learned so much from my great teachers, I experienced being a student myself! I am learning all the time. As a student I learned a lot, so in turn I enjoy teaching what I have learned.  Read More

Through my time working with students I have found that it is very important to get to know them on a more personal level, i.e. music they like, their interests, their hobbies etc, and that way I can tailor my lesson plans to them as individuals and make them feel as comfotable as possible. I've learned a lot from my experiences in and out of the classroom, and I use my knowledge to the best of my ability in every lesson. Read More

Open to letting the student direct his own course study. I would suggest trying to learn complete songs so you don't just learn 10 seconds of a million different things. You will be making music, instead of mimicking solos....... I am here to guide and talk guitars, song structure, theory - I will teach you as much as I know and am continuing to learn, just fun music banter, what are you listening to, what are your favorites, what I am listening to.....

Its amazing to watch my students fall in love with their instrument and gain confidence and joy from learning to play. Everyone is different and will need to go at their own pace. My job is more of a "coach" - setting up structures and practices to help you succeed but not doing the work for you! I will help fuel your desire to grow as a musician and encourage you to progress at your own pace while celebrating each and every success along the way while tailoring my instruction based on my students needs and goals.

I have played in venues from small coffee houses to The Paramount in Huntington, NY.  I have played in many groups and ensembles as a premier performer and, of course, as part of the "tutti".  I have studied under Micheal Bellajonas at Suffolk County Community College and Jerry Willard at Stony Brook University in my classical guitar studies.  I maintain a violin/guitar duet with my wife, who is on her way to becoming a music educator.  I've taught all different types of students and am very open and patient to everyone's needs.

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I approach teaching on an individual level - what's important to me is why you want to learn to play music. Then I can help you get there. Some adults have very different goals and expectations for wanting to add music to their life, than say a school-age student. I have had students who wanted to be virtuosos, and some who merely wanted to experience playing favorite songs without learning reading and theory. Read More
