Instruments: Voice Acoustic Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student gain confidence in their voice. Singing can be very scary especially at first, but it is my passion to be a cheerleader of the singer. Singing is mostly a mental game, and my passion is to fight that one first. One can have all the technique in the world, but if they don't have confidence, musicality is thrown out the window. So, I primarily focus on giving the student a safe place to make mistakes grow and learn and feel comfortable to explore. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
In teaching my students, I prefer to teach them to "play by ear", because when they learn chords and songs, they are usually able to play a snog by memory after hearing it a time or two. I not only show them the chords, fret board, how to hold the guitar properly, how to tune the guitar; etc. but, I also issue them handouts of guitar chord illustrations, fret board charts, and chord changes with words to songs for them to practice on between lessons.

I believe to really be in a state to learn the individual should be relaxed and comfortable. I take a very laid back conversational approach to my lessons while still retaining focus and structure. Every lesson will be slightly different depending on the students skill level, experience and musical interests but every lesson has a focus on musical rudiments and then exploring those concepts through classic songs. When you understand music, every song , riff or lick because a lesson. Read More

For beginners, I will start lessons by assisting them to become familiar with their instrument and to learn all the names of the various parts of the instrument. All lessons will be catered to what it is that the student is excited to explore, be it music theory, instrumental techniques, improvisation, composition, arrangement, ear training, transcription, reading, playing in a group setting, or just learning a favorite song. In terms of lessons material, I will guide students when and where necessary and do have traditional modalities of approaching lessons that I will employ if I feel the student is lacking direction (i.e. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Becoming a professional musician was a gradual decision for me. I already knew how to play the piano and electric guitar in my teenage years. In high school I joined a band of friends who liked playing music as well. We played at places like the Gulfport Casino, a legendary place that had all sorts of music and plays, including saturday night teen dances. We were hired after an audition, and played there frequently. As we got better as musicians, we branched out to include teen dances all over Florida. After that, I met some other guys who were serious about music and joined their band. We played locally and occasionally traveled to booked events. As I became more proficient in my instrument, I toured and traveled with a band in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Florida. We played in large venues, opening for national acts and recording stars.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I began piano at the age of five, and that is because my mother played the piano well. She really loved playing. My brother started learning to play the piano as well with me. One of my greatest memories is how happy my mother seemed when she played. She could read music well and my father bought this beautiful baby grand piano which he refinished. I also remember the piano tuner who would come to the house and tune each note to perfect pitch. It was a sight to see and hear. I am sure the was a foundation for me to like music and playing. I hope you do too.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have found the more music styles I listen to, the more I enjoy music as a whole.
My favorite music style is good old rock and roll. Within, that genre are many variations based on types of percussion, singing ability, additional instrumentation, and style of the musician. That being said, I like a single musician playing and singing alone, like sing/songwriters Neil Young , and countless others. As for myself, when I learned the basics of playing, I played what others had recorded. Now, I am able to play other instruments, sing, write songs , play with others and it is all fun to me. I hope I can pass that on to you or your child.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned to play the piano first. Then, my mothers organ. When I was a teenager, I started to learn guitar,which was mostly comprised of chords and simple lead guitar licks. Then, as friends in school, we formed a band and played at local area venues. After a few years, i joined a professional group where I took up the bass guitar. I have been on the bass for over 30 years. In the last seven or eight years, I learned to play the harmonica, which was surprisingly easy for me. Now, I move back and forth between these instruments depending on the song we are playing, sometimes handing off the bass to another band member to play so I can play the harmonica. To me, it was a natural and easy transition from one instrument to another. I hope it will be for you too.
