Music Lessons in Kearny, NJ

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet

I love connecting musical development to other things we do and talking with students about how musical thinking and discipline affect other areas of our lives. Read More

I have worked with students ranging from ages 5 to 80, with varying ranges of motivation, discipline, drive, and family support.

I'm an enthusiastic and motivated instructor who loves having the opportunity to assist my students in building not only their skill, but also to build their love for music to match or even surpass my own. A strong love and desire are very important in teaching because if you don't enjoy what you're doing, your student won't either. I have had the opportunity to perform and be featured at many venues including the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, the Rutgers University- New Brunswick Jazz competition and Jazz camp. Read More
