Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I've been working with students since I was in high school (I'm now 30) and enjoy teaching all styles, levels and disciplines.  I specialize in many forms of Jazz, Swing and Bebop with a vast knowledge of Blues, Rock, Punk, and Popular Songs besides my classical singing repertoire.  My teaching style fits the student and will change depending on your wants and needs.  Warm ups and exercises are always encouraged as well as memorization and daily practice.

For my younger students, i would start with the simple lullabies like ABC's and Row Your Boat to get them familiar with the instrument and getting them used to playing what they want to hear. Then we'd move on to Hal Leonard's fundamental books to develop reading skills. For the older students, i'd get an understanding of what their listening to and how they want to play and start to introduce them to essential principles to be the musician they are imagining themselves to be.

I began my journey as a mentor and teacher as a camp counselor back when I was in High School. Since then, I have developed my teaching style and experience through offering private and group music lessons in after school programs, music studios, and middle schools across Massachusetts. From 2013-2015 I went back to school for my masters in Community Music Education, where I studied traditional and experiential learning, progressive and alternative education, as well as arts administration and childhood development.

I have over 20 years of teaching experience. The age range has varied from 8 to 88! I teach beginning, intermediate and advanced students in intense private lessons, using traditional and non-traditional methods.   The focus can be Jazz, Classical, Brazilian Choro, Klezmer and other World musics.   I love to figure out how someone learns, how he responds to music, what methods are the most appropriate. It is a beautiful experience for me as well as for the student to connect to your inner voice, and to be able to express it and love it! Read More
