I have been playing music for 15 years and have over6 years of experience teaching in my home studio and at students homes. I started teaching right before entering college in andaround the Boston area.In addition to guitar and bass, i also am experienced in drums, piano and voice. I was self taught untill i started taking lessons at around age 16. At 19 i began studying with my teacher at UMASS and gained a wealth of musical knowledge. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As your piano teacher, I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and engaging learning environment with honest yet positive feedback to help students become confident and self-motivated. Listening, evaluating, and learning how to use those observations to improve the way we play are all skills that I encourage my students to use to become independent learners. Every student has a unique set of abilities and way of learning, which is something to be embraced. Read More

I love the many facets of music. My love of music, and my best practice, stems from a deep enjoyment of listening to music, as a consumer of sound. Developing my listening ear has been the most useful tool in all my years as a performer. I've played with academic ensembles in a choral setting, and done significant work in small ensemble classical guitar groupings. My most enjoyable long term academic ensemble, however, was the African Hand Percussion Ensemble, as while it had a very strict underlying structure for the cohesion of the group, it was deeply improvisational in nature, my favorite aspect of musical performance.

I am sure to acknowledge accomplishments, not only by finding and setting milestones with each student to discover during lessons, but by (as effectively as I can) creating opportunities for students to perform a recital and demonstrate what they have learned for friends and family. I also make a point of ensuring students know that their lessons with me are a safe and inclusive space. I work to get to know the student to understand how they learn but also what circumstances might be troubling them and affecting their ability to learn happily and effectively. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I was my own first student. I began teaching myself how to play the piano over 10 years ago. Throughout this process I learned how to approach some typically confusing topics in much more digestible ways. A benefit to starting out as a self taught musician is that I had to learn how to make sense of things myself rather than memorizing information that a teacher fed me. A main focus of mine as a teacher is encouraging regular practice routines where the student can solidify the information we discuss in our lessons as well as uncover new questions they may have about the subject.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
6 years old is usually old enough. Anyone can start regardless of ability as long as they can physically press fingers down on a piano or form a guitar chord
When will I start to see results?
That depends on the student. Also on home life/practice time.
Don’t expect things too fast. This is a new thing for them and it takes time. Kids excel at different rates and surprise you at the their growth. They make “ leaps”, it’s not always in even increments.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first guitar teacher took me from playing with friends- very basic ( where I did learn a lot) to going to Berklee college of music.
He was amazing and I was very lucky to have him as a teacher.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My uncle played guitar in a band. I was hooked immediately. He bought me my first electric guitar and the rest is history. I came from a strong arts community.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I learned how to become a jazz musician. A very hard thing to do. It takes as much work as becoming a scientist or highly skilled profession to play jazz well.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students played at their graduations. Also went on to have careers in music. Most have gone into other fields , but music played an important part. A few of my students were at the top of their graduating class. One was valedictorian
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Around 15 years old. I was on the fence for a while, but at that point there was no turning back. Once I got paid for it after college, I didn’t want to do anything else unless I has to
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Being able to accomplish all styles . It has to do with time. I can play rock, jazz, country , blues, fingerpicking, slide guitar, piano on a high level, bass guitar , drums ukulele. I also sing. They all took years of dedication.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano because I absolutely love the instrument. It’s classic and a real piano is dreamlike. It’s a challenge to master. 2 handed superstition is why it’s so difficult. Bass guitar , drums, because I love those too.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Inner urge by Joe Henderson. Because the melody is extremely challenging and the improvisation over the chords is very modern.
It took me 6 moths to play it clean.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My uncle plays. He’s in mid 70’s now but has the same band as when he was in high school. He taught my first chords and songs. Friends were very important as well for learning
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For guitar: my own handouts mostly. Hal Leonard guitar method.
Piano: piano adventures, Suzuki, scale books. The real book for both instruments. I also have random handouts that I have photocopied from students through the years
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
3 hours a day , every day. Piano and guitar. Jazz mostly. I play with backing tracks
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz, because it’s highly creative. Like painting. When you improvise on jazz, you can incorporate everything that you have learned. Rock, country, blues, folk can all come out in it somewhere.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance degree from Berklee college of music 1991. Graduated summa cum laude. I chose it because it was not an easy route. You had to prove yourself.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Doggy day care or astronomer. It’s hard to say because this is all I know . I’ve lived the musician life. Started playing at 8 years old
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Follow the lesson plan exactly. Don’t rush through exercises. Use a metronome. Play in a quiet room with no distractions. Have a goal that you want to achieve and go for it. Have fun!
