Instruments: Guitar Drums Electric Guitar
I began teaching music lessons over a decade ago while I was as a junior in high school and continue to teach to this day. While studying music at Umass Lowell, I taught for two years at the local music store, University Music. There, I worked with a diverse array of students from toddlers to adults, many of whom spoke english as their secondary language. After transferring to Umass Amherst to finish my degree, I began teaching at both Guitar Center in Portsmouth, NH and Zach Field Drum Studios in Newburyport, MA. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. Over those years I have played many different styles, playing different instruments in different bands, from open mics to big venues all over the country. I love playing music and love helping others discover their love as well. One note worthy teaching gig I’ve had was working for a company in Nassau County, NY teaching guitar and music theory to developmentally challenged adults in a day program. There is no musician I will turn away; my focus is guitar, but I have many instruments and can introduce the basics for many such as drums, violin, viola, cello, piano, bass guitar, as well as composition and arrangement. I have worked with many bands, ensembles, and chamber groups, and would love the opportunity to help you achieve your musical goals. Whatever your musical interests, I'll help you get to where you want to go. Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
I have been teaching vocalists and instrumentalists around the world for over 40 years. During my 27-year tenure as Assistant Chair of the Voice Department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, I instituted courses for teaching singers all styles of jazz and contemporary music. I teach technique and style interpretation to all ages and levels of proficiency. I have a positive attitude and encourage my students to practice hard to reach their goals. Read More
Instruments: Drums
It's a well known fact that few things are as fun as playing the drums. My goal is to make the learning process as fun as actually playing. I encourage students to learn by demonstrating how even the most basic concepts function in the most complex settings. I find students have the most fun when they present me with something specific they wish to learn. By training students how to set goals, they stay inspired and motivated, which inspires and motivates me to challenge them! Read More
Instruments: Drums Recorder Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music
The philosophy underlying my teaching method can be summed up this way: If you can say it, you can play it. "Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom!" I'll bet I can teach you that rhythm quickly if I say it to you. And once you say it, it's easy to play on the drums. Some people play by ear and others by note, but I think it's best to do some of each. Read More

This could range from working on a particular scale to solidify thumb crossover, to working on the use of a pick on guitar. Next 10 min.: Discuss assignment for next week and choose songs that would be beneficial. Assignment usually consists of 1 technical work, 1 musical work and 1 free choice. Next 10 min.: Monitored practice time. This a chance for me to see how the student is practicing when I'm not there and correcting mistakes before they can become habits. Read More

Instruments: Drums Synthesizer Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The drum set or drums, are believed to be one of the easiest instrument to learn however the most difficult to master. Keeping a B, hands and arms in sink, independent coordination between the four major limbs and then your brain is very challenging. Not to mention musicality. When you finally get pretty good at your instrument, playing with other musicians becomes a whole different challenge.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Honestly, my musical accomplishments are the ones that I had with the people I played music with. Playing on a hit album or song is obviously amazing. But, at the end of the day there’s nothing like going on stage with friends and putting on a memorable performance for an audience. There is nothing quite like that.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve had a number of students come on to Berkeley College of music in Boston Massachusetts. ( One of the most respected music schools in the world ) . I’ve also had other students go onto music schools in California. I recently had a student go onto music college in Nashville. Others have succeeded in music engineering roles as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I’ve been asked this question hundreds of times over the years. 99% of my students I replace the word practice with the word play. It’s imperative that students, especially early on, are enjoying playing on their own time. If students view it as homework they may get bored very quickly. Personally, as a kid I would run to the drum set. It was never work at all. I feel that that is the key to success for students of any age.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone’s attention span is different. I can tell you with confidence, after 20 to 30 minutes of sitting with your child, I will know if they are ready.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I never had to think about it. I played drums for the first time in my uncles basement at five years old. It was a no brainer. I loved playing. It was a part of me. It just felt right. Something I needed to do.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my kindergarten music teacher. She pulled me aside one day and told me I had a terrific singing voice and asked me to sing a solo in front of everyone. Trust me I was scared to death. Fortunately I was so good, I ended up getting a room full of applause. Even at that young age I knew she believed I was talented. It filled me with confidence that I never forgot even years later.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results after the first lesson. I get students playing as fast as possible.
