Music Lessons in Hamlin Park, NY

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar

My main goals with all of my students are to foster their love and appreciation for music and to teach them the skills they need to make whatever music they want to make. I want all of my students to be able to experience the joy that comes from music making so I do my best to ensure that they're using healthy, efficient, reliable, technique; that they become musically literate, and that they develop aural skills that will help them to better understand what they hear.

Instruments: Guitar

Hello! I am a guitar player and composer who is very passionate about both the art of playing guitar and writing music .  I like to have a balanced blend of sound (pun intended) technical guitar study with the fun of playing tunes and jamming. I bring to the table an in-depth journey to the realms of music theory while also staying loose and not get too bogged down with academic material. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

For the past 5 years I have taught 100+ students from a wide range of ages (5-60+). I have taught subjects such as Piano, Composition, Songwriting, Music Theory, Ear Training, Aural Skills, Music History, and Film Music, among others. I have a strong background in all these subjects, and have found that integrating different styles and types of musical knowledge into the lessons helps make your learning engaging and motivating. I am a patient and supportive teacher who tailors his instruction to each student's experience, age, and needs. Read More

For students of any level, I tend to always focus on mastering breathing and classical technique. I believe that it is imperative that students develop this way as it is fundamental to any true vocalist. My methods are quite particular to the individual and their natural strengths and weaknesses, but I approach every student with a tried and true structure that leads to fast and noticeable results. I also tend to use written material lending to the classical technique as a way to standardize practice times to structure individual progress outside of lesson time. Read More

For beginners of any age, I begin by discussing goals, milestones, and how we will achieve them. I do use method books, but only recommend those that will be useful in and out of lessons. I keep lessons fun and engaging, and always demonstrate before expecting the student to do the same. Fundamentals as building blocks are always needed, but I never keep a learning plan the same from student to student- goals (that can always be changed) are what I use to guide a student to be confident for any performance.

Instruments: Drums

A lot of teachers that I have dealt with were very rude, and terrible at teaching. My approach is more so trying to build a stable foundation and give the necessary tools to become a great musician! I not only teach you how to play the drums and how to hold the sticks etc, but I also teach how to get gigs, how to get people to notice you, what it means to have your own rider, how to promote your own brand etc. Read More
