Music Lessons in Oceanside, NY

Instruments: Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For begginers, being adults or children, I always start with a set of easier musics that don't include very hard chords, but that may interest the person in what they're doing. The only difference between the children and the adult would be the guitar size and the amount of practicing and how often they need to practice. The key point is to have fun during the lessons to stimulate practicing every so often so that no matter how hard the songs are they can do it. Read More

His first composition went on to win a county-wide award for best original song. Read More

I have the luck of doing what I love for a living. The fact that I can help children and adults learn the instrument that I have played all my life, brings me true joy. I enjoy seeing my students go from beginners, who may sometimes be shy and uncomfortable about their lack of knowledge; to feeling proud, accomplished, and confidant when playing. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the look on my students’ face’s when they finally reach that note that was so difficult when they first began my class. Read More
