Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I've been teaching for 10+ years now. I work mostly with beginner to intermediate adults and particularly enjoy someone discovering they can learn an instrument later in life. I love helping someone learn their first song as much as helping them work their way up to a holy grail song. I've helped a mother play a classical piece to accompany her son at a recital. I've helped someone finally nail the songs they spent 50 years trying to play well. Read More

As students progress, I encourage exploration across various genres. Drawing from my diverse experiences, I guide students through the nuances of different styles, techniques, and interpretations. For more advanced students, I emphasize creativity and personal expression. I often incorporate improvisation exercises, composition challenges, and collaborative projects. This not only nurtures their musical individuality but also prepares them for real-world performance scenarios. I believe in a student-centered approach, where open communication and feedback are key. Read More

I let each student progress at their own pace and give realistic goals for practice between lessons. You will see results immediately which will encourage and motivate you to keep going.

I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years.  Over those years I have played many different styles, playing different instruments in different bands, from open mics to big venues all over the country.  I love playing music and love helping others discover their love as well.  One note worthy teaching gig I’ve had was working for a company in Nassau County, NY teaching guitar and music theory to developmentally challenged adults in a day program.  There is no musician I will turn away; my focus is guitar, but I have many instruments and can introduce the basics for many such as drums, violin, viola, cello, piano, bass guitar, as well as composition and arrangement.  I have worked with many bands, ensembles, and chamber groups, and would love the opportunity to help you achieve your musical goals.  Whatever your musical interests, I'll help you get to where you want to go.
