Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe that you never stop learning. Even when you are teaching. Thus I am not the teacher to show up without my own equipment and sit quietly while on plays what I gave them the week before. Everything will be done together. Iron sharpens iron. Goals will be realistic but challenging. Each session will include a review of everything else that's been worked on. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson and including the parents in these goals for full collaboration. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Through figuring out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their goals. Read More

I have been teaching regularly since my college days. I started as a piano teacher, but quickly expanded into stringed instrument. Right now I teach at home, in my own studio, my student's homes, and in couple local schools as a music director and teacher. I prepare y students not only how to play, but also how to become self starting artists able to read and play. I organize yearly recitals where all of my students can show their skills. Read More

I am a devoted and energetic teacher for all age students who is focused on results and have successes bringing the ability of the student to play effectively from the first lessons. Fundamentals are covered in early lessons for the beginning student who can then move rapidly into playing their preferred style of music. Teaching is accomplished with friendly and caring delivery of new concepts and repetition of new ideas on the keyboard right from the start of lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I will prepare lesson plans primarily on my students' skill levels. I will assign small assignments for them to work on over the course of each week after their lessons. I will stress the importance of practice and how critical it is to their growth as a musician. Finally, I want my students to have fun and realize the joy of music!! Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet French Horn
I am a fairly tough teacher: I expect my students to practice, regardless of their ability level. I believe firmly in scales, etudes and technique! I love watching my students figure out how these abstract skills translate into learning music!I use a few different method books for children, depending on theirlearning styles. For adults, I tailor my techniques to their interests and abilities, making it more interesting. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Electric Violin
I am passionate about teaching as well as performing. My night job includes performing as a classical pianist at Cavey's Italian Restaurant in Manchester, CT on Saturday nights every other month. I also am the keyboardist in the alternative modern rock band, Perfect Fate. We are on Facebook as Perfect Fate. My main song that has been released on Itunes and Amazon is "Atmosphere." I was able to incorporate my writing style and also my knowledge of guitar, though it is not my sole instrument. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar has always been my first love. I love to sing and so it became a natural progression for me. In the 80’s however, an accident took my left ring finger out of the equation. I worked very hard to work around this handicap and now I play guitar better than ever today. My mentor for years kept trying to convince me to switch to bass guitar because of this handicap. He turned me on to a book called the Evolving Bassist by Rufus Reid and quoted a passage that essentially said Bass players only need three fingers. I gave in and never looked back. I still play guitar often but have found a new voice in the bottom end. I no longer have to compete with much better four fingered guitar players and have become a much better lead player in the process.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
After losing a finger on my string hand in a machining accident, I spent years trying to make a comeback. I am proud of myself for having the fortitude to retrain my hand to do with three fingers what it knew with four. With hard work I have become much better than I ever thought of being before the accident. I believe as far as personal accomplishment, I think there has been no greater joy than to be able to bring others into a place of joy and happiness and worship. Music has a way of getting inside you and for me, playing, teaching, and performing create in me a feeling that I am doing what I was born to do. Not all of us reach the pinnacle of success in music but that is not what it is about for me. We are on a great mountain here. Some reach the summit, others continue the climb. My hope is to help my students get a leg up on that climb by helping arming them with the tools to reach their personal and professional goals. Being able to effectively give this to others I think is my greatest musical achievement.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Over the years I cannot recall if any of my students have received special honors or rewards but I do know many of them have gone on to be fine musicians, instructors, and worship pastors. As I have gotten older it has been quite enjoyable to watch as the "changing of the guard" has occurred. They are not kids anymore and they have taken the mantle of leadership well. I am proud to be a part of the foundation has led to successful application of their talents. It is a silent, unseen reward for me, but it is one of the most fulfilling award I have ever received.
