Hi there this is Ian. I began taking clarinet lessons at the age of 12 years old. From then on I branched out to other instruments including guitar and piano. I have been the lead vocalist of Rock bands including Graffiti NJ and S.T.O.R (The Sun Thugs of Rebellion). I studied under various teachers including Danny Roselle (Crash moderns) as well as Dave Feddoc, Chris Bloom, Gene Segal, Igor Ramos, and Stephen Hart (Les Miserables, Metallica Philharmonic Orchestra).

I like to make learning an instrument an enjoyable experience and allow students to progress at their own pace. I also introduce them to different styles of music such as classical, folk, Broadway musicals as well as popular songs. In addition, I teach students new skills and techniques to enhance their playing abilities. I encourage my students to practice, ask questions about the music and how it should be played with respect to the technique and expression required to perform a piece of music effectively. Read More

Working with novice piano students, I usually employ traditional method materials like Bastien or Thompson if the student is a child, and Alfred for adults. Though it is rare, and usually at the insistence of a parent, I can also use these methods with beginning guitar students. For advanced students, whose aim is to broaden an already substantial aquaintance with theoretical and compositonal studies, I use the "Guitar Grimoire" series by Adam Kadman. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
Hello! My name is Chris. I am a full time professional performer. My instrument is the bass (both double bass and electric bass). I have been playing the bass for about 20 years now. Before that, I had sung in choirs from a young age, and I continue to sing to this day. I also studied piano from age 8, which I truly believe helped my musical development immensely. The genres that I perform within the most are jazz, avant-garde, rock, and folk. Read More

There’s a million different approaches, and we’ll find the one(s) that work best for you. Everyone (even more traditional classical players) tend to take their own path to guitar mastery. This is in part why new techniques and styles of playing are popping up all the time! When starting out, I like to lay a good foundation; teaching students proper hand positioning and posture first. I like to combine this with some single string exercises and some basic chords and strumming patterns that can be used musically, and applied to learning parts or simplified versions of songs the student is familiar with and enjoys listening to.

I am passionate about all facets of music and music education. I am motivated by my students, learning from them how best to instruct them and act as a guide through the universe of music.

I graduated from SUNY Empire State with a Bachelors in Music Performance with a concentration in Bass and Piano. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes my family is very musical. Dad is a guitarist and singer in some very popular local wedding bands and mom was a singer in bands. My older bro is a drummer and singer and got me out playing full time when I was 13 years old. They all continue to play part time.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Well it started from the moment I watched my dad play at a fair and then he told me if I practice I could get up and play along the next year I did.
I played with a buddy in highschool but only play a few talent shows and a few parties. But my bro was playing out and needed a full in when I was 13 I learned 42 songs the night before his show and played with him and it turned into my career
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
So I’m a rocker and I love Deep Purple my favorite song is Burn, it’s full of everything a guitarist loves, tone, riffs, scales great playing overall.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing the other instruments for recording purpose res and or live use.
They are somewhere similar to my main instrument the guitar so it came along quick
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Favorite style of music is classic Rock. All the songs are timeless. Nothing compares to it. So many hits. Great playing & real musicians playing everything on the recordings.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Trainer or something in the art world. Always been and artist since I’ve been a kid. The trainer would be from I love jogging. And it helps me stay in shape on stage and overall health.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’ve played for a talent show in 8th grade and won, than everyone after and won. I’ve played for pizza and played and played and accomplished playing concerts halls from 200 seats to 20,000 seats
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes my one student won solo awards in jazz band in school & he now just got accepted to Berkeley School of Music. He was well driven.
I’ve had a few other like that but this was most recent.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Well you can always learn. So much out their on the instrument. Different styles, techniques, tones, technology. So so it alll keeps you interested and working hard and feel accomplished at the end of the day.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have used a guitar book
But kinda made my own out of it.
Found over the years kids get bored easy. So I use parts of it at a time. And also want know what they are interested in and focus on that a bit.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to start off warming up, moving up and down the neck.
Than review some things from the week before, if they practiced it’ll go by fast. Than move on to the new lesson
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
as long as you put in 20 mins daily you with see results. If not you won’t see any and forget it all most likely. I want it fun but serious. Not super serious or you’ll get bored.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Lots of children are undecided I like to try a lesson first to see if they pick up and have interest I’m not afraid to tell the parents that the child isn’t interested
When will I start to see results?
The first day you will learn so much but I’ll review it all over and over again.
You will be able to play a few chords by the time you leave the first lesson
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Honestly my dad, I used to sit on his amp at various gigs and practices and realized that what I wanted to do.
It’s a great stress reliever, and using your abilities. It kept out of trouble when I was a youngster
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
3 reasons
1 my dad
2 KISS (Ace Frehley)
3 i was born blind and didn’t play sports or anything like that, this really took over my life, and I made a career out of it.
