Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music
I am the former principal flute of the Queen City Chamber Orchestra of Cincinnati, principal of Seven Hills Baroque Orchestra, founding member of both the Cincinnati Camerata Baroque and the Aurora Ensemble, and a leader in the New Hampshire music non-profit Silentwoods Collective. With two masters of music degrees (one in flute and one in historical performance) I am equally at home teaching modern flute/piccolo and historical flutes. A former student of the acclaimed composer Brian Nabors at the Cincinnati Conservatory, I also love teaching composition students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
I began playing violin at the age of 12. Over the years, I developed my skills further by joining my local community orchestra and getting lessons from renowned instructor pedagogues. I received my Bachelor's degree in Music Education at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 2017, where I performed regularly with the Symphonic and Chamber Orchestra, and learned about how to teach students both individually and in a school setting.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Drums Synthesizer Ukulele Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My methods of teaching have been refined over the years and I've found it that methods of teaching have to be tailored to each student. For every lesson I develop a lesson plan that organizes the lesson so there is no time wasted. As I get to know the student more, I develop a lesson plan specific to the student and work on the things that need work but as well as to keep the student motivated by performing and memorizing.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
About three summers ago, I played a show in my hometown of Montclair. Afterwards, I struck up a conversation with a woman who had just seen me play. She asked if I could give her son guitar lessons and, even though I had never taught before, I agreed. I've been teaching ever since; there's nothing more rewarding than helping someone else get better at their instrument. I gave guitar lessons throughout high school and am continuing to do so in college. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
My teaching experience is quite varied. I've taught young children as a member of Mimi Zweig's pedagogy classes, and I currently teach group classes to 3rd-5th graders here in NYC. I've taught chamber music to teenagers in Indiana University's Summer String Academy and to adult learners in Montreal. I encourage regular practice and strong fundamentals, but I also sincerely think that although there are many ways to teach and to learn, the best ways always are enjoyable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
For beginning students I typically start with Hannon and my own finger exercises. I ask the the student to draw notes on a staff so they can get familiar with reading and composing music. All students from beginner to advanced, are given warm up exercises and recommended pieces to play . After 30 years of teaching piano, organ and flute ,I have written my own lesson books series. Each lesson program is custom fit to the students style and playing level. Read More

Playing the instrument for 29 years (20 years professionally), Steve studied formally for 15 years with professional jazz guitarists Ed Capuano, John Olin and Mike Stern; active private instructor for 19 years with 12 combined years of teaching experience through various retail/commercial music centers in Northern New Jersey prior to 2008 relocation to Northern Westchester County NY.

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably any song that I have written. I don't feel the need to learn other people's music because I don't see where that will get me in life. My students can learn any piece they want to learn if they feel that they will become a better musician that way. I will definitely teach my students how to write their own music if they want. I have heard so many songs in this world that I think people will get tired of them eventually. That is why I choose to write songs and not learn other people's songs.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I don't think I would be doing anything instead. The problem with me is that I have some disorders that keep me from having a normal job. I believe there is something wrong with the Basal Ganglia part of my brain. There mustn't be enough metabolism, oxygen, and blood flow going to that part of my brain. I am getting tested soon by neuropsychologists to see what exactly is wrong with me. I think I have Basal Ganglia Disorder. The symptoms for this disorder are exactly what I have wrong with me. These symptoms are: ADHD, poor memory, loosing the thread of a conversation, and tics from head to toe, internally and externally.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't know if I have a favorite style or genre of music to play. I guess style wise, I like to play a lot of notes and play fast. I could also play slow and consistent as well. I like to be creative and have a nice artistic input when it comes to creating songs or helping others write songs and parts. I do like playing some sort of rock music the most. For piano, I like playing any genre. For drums, I like playing loud stuff, but I could also pull out a pair of brushes and play some soft jazz music that I am creating for my jazz album.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started out on guitar. My uncle taught me a few chords. A few weeks later, I started teaching him. That is when we realized that I had a musical gift. I have something called perfect pitch, which one out of ten thousand people get. I used that perfect pitch to help teach me other instruments. Piano was my next instrument. Every year after that I would get an instrument that my dad would buy me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to teach myself how to play so many instruments. I taught myself many instruments and after about 23 instruments, that's when I stopped counting and just started telling people that I can play any instrument. I can probably play at least 10 instruments proficiently and play along to any song or genre with those instruments. If I had more time in this world, I would be able to perfect my skills on every instrument.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mom sings in the shower and my dad plays drums on his stomach. However, my uncle is a hippy and stuck in the 1960's. I learned a few chords on guitar from him and a few weeks later, I started teaching him guitar as if I played it for many years. My brother also plays a lot of instruments but sadly, he doesn't have perfect pitch like me. I wish he had it too so that he could tune his own guitar at practice quickly instead of having me do it, even though I enjoy tuning other people's instruments.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As soon as I played my first instrument at the age of six years old, I knew right then and there that I would play music as a profession for the rest of my life. I always wanted to be famous and use my skills to help other people. Playing music at benefits to help raise money for organizations is a great way to help save the lives of many people all over the world. I want other people to learn how to play music so that they can use it as their profession and help other people around the world with their musical skills.
