Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Harmonica Lap Steel Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Double Bass
My 30 years of teaching experience includes countless private lessons, and being a Music Teacher at The Bank Street School For Children and other schools. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students I use a combination of Piano Adventures curriculum and Suzuki piano method. I like using Piano Adventures because it is a seamless and easy way to learn how to sightread. Suzuki is used to enhance performance skills and learn traditional repertoire. I supplement with other sheet music on the side and teach scales and technical work additionally. For beginning voice students the majority of initial lessons are spent on technique and students are encouraged to apply it in whatever repertoire they enjoy with occasional assigned peices.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I am a dedicated educator who loves working with music students of all ages. I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in jazz studies. While there, I participated in marhcing band for 4 years, percussion ensemble, latin ensemble, big band, and many other projects. I've toured on cruise ships playing percussion and have been in several working bands of the years since college. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet
For trumpet students I initially provide my own material, based on the exercises which I have found to be beneficial in my own playing. Early on, I'll ask most students to play a recording of one of their favorite songs, which we'll use to improvise to as well as for ear-training purposes. As soon as the student has learned enough notes, we'll begin playing songs. I firmly believe that developing a good sense of a singing style is the foundation for good playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Teaching piano is a great joy. My goal is to help students develop the skill to make playing music fun and satisfying, whether their goal is to become a professional or to simply enjoy playing for its own sake. I've worked for several arts agencies (Arts Horizons, Healing Arts Initiative, CREATE) so I've had the privilege to teach music in a variety of settings. While teaching in a classroom setting is immensely satisfying, seeing individual students grow in proficiency, dexterity. concentration, is an even bigger thrill. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele
I have been teaching music since high school. I have a real organized approach to teaching that makes it easy to understand techniques and theory. I have played in many groups of all styles. The musical styles of these groups range from rock, folk, country, zydeco and blues. I have a Bachelor's degree in music from University of Massachusetts Lowell. While studying there I focused on producing and performing on recordings. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele Oboe Bassoon English Horn Keyboard
I love teaching beginning students, in particular, as I get to watch them grow and learn a completely new skill they've never had before! I love watching students find their voice and gain the skill of playing a new instrument so that they might find a way to express themselves through music! I try to combine musicality and technique in a fun, engaging way that makes students excited to practice. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre, indefinitely, would be opera. Opera is a visual and audible spectacle and the music written for these grand pieces of music are filled to the brim with interesting characters, challenging yet rewarding runs and melismas, beautiful sounds and most importantly (for me as a tenor, that is...) high notes at every corner with some of them being at the highlight or most stunning moment of the entire piece/possibly the entire opera.
It's beautiful music and to sing it brings me joy.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe I would be pursuing a career in either art or film if I had not pursued a career as a music teacher. Film because I'm a lover of editing and am fascinating with the many techniques that can bring a film to life. Art because the visual spectacles people can come up with is fascinating to me and to make a career bringing that to life would be outstanding.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
That is a tricky question...
I believe my dream piece to perform would be either Una Furtiva Lagrima from Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore", Du Bist Meine Sonne from Franz Lehar's "Giuditta", Che Gelida Manina from Puccini's "La Boheme" or "Salut! Demeure Chaste et Pure" from Gounod's Faust.
I wish to sing ALL of these because of how beautiful the pieces are and to sing them on a professional stage would mean the world to me, as I would be sharing this beautiful music with others.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's in Music Education. I chose to pursue and achieve this degree because I am in love with music and what it can do physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally for people of any age. I also have been fascinating since I was a wee lad with being a teacher and teaching something I love dearly, that being music, seemed like the best choice!
I am also pursuing, currently at this moment, a Master's in Opera as opera is my definitive genre of music which I love to sing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My biggest inspiration when it came to the field of music was Dr. Edward Martinez of Gardiners Elementary School. I still find him to have been one of the most amazing, talented and knowledgable music teachers I will ever come to know both in my career as an acting singer and teacher. He inspired me to pursue Music Education not only through his love of the field but also his ability to convey that anything and everything is possible if you put your mind to it. He truly was an amazing man.
