I adapt to all learning styles and necessary modifications/accommodations they might have in a classroom. I encourage all students to explore and discover their own learning styles and I never use shame or comparison as a motivator. My lessons are always fun and upbeat, with lots of healthy celebration of progress! My students have a practice requirement to pass of any given song, depending on their piece and their level of playing. Read More

I have studied music since childhood and continued with two professional degrees in music. My first degree is in Vocal Performance my second is in Music Education. I have been a part of a collegiate piano studio throughout my undergraduate degree. I have been playing classical guitar since childhood, but didn't study it in a collegiate setting. I began studio teaching in college, around 2014. I have continued teaching privately. I have also taught in public and private schools. Read More

I try to keep the student as interested as possible,some have shorter attention spans then others and for them maybe i will do 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes. others who are really into it and do not want to leave i may teach them for an hour and that often turns into 2 or 3 hours of just jamming and having fun at no extra cost because without students a maestro is nothing but a musician playing music. i love to play along with students so they are more prepared when they go out and make music with others musicians and they can stay in time with a drummer more easily.

Every student is different and has different dreams, needs and goals. So, my teaching style relies heavily on communicating with my students and their parents, if applicable. My first lesson is focused on setting goals for yourself and unearthing musical dreams and ideas. The following lessons are about hitting that goal as soon as possible. Once that goal is hit, I set another goal with you, and so on. I keep an eye on making sure you get the essentials (notes, finger placement, posture, good habits, etc.) and incorporate the things you are needing or missing into our goals. Read More

I'm a musician who enjoys teaching just as much as I enjoy performing. I have sung in many operas, sung for many venues including school dances, sports games and on recordings.

I want people to love music and get involved in music regardless of how far they intend to go with itbecause music can really bless someone's life. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
They both correlate with each other. The piano and guitar have melody and chord function and it's relativity have made my decisions to make these as professional instruments.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Both my father and uncles played as professional musicians. To me it's genetic and always have applied the disciplines and open-mindedness along with creativity as they had.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Being a golf professional both either touring or a teaching pro. My passion for that is great but Musuic always came first. I have coached golf while teaching High School Sports.
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 masters Degree in Music Education/ Performance. I have taught Music History, Theory, Creative Writing , Composition, various Ensembles. Extensive private and group teaching knowledge.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Reading violin studies on the guitar. On Piano, Playing Brandenburg Concerto number 5, also Oscar Peterson's selections.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I wrote my own Guitar book plus Mel Bay Revised, Sal Salvadore's String Studies. Sal Salvador's Chord Book, plus many options in music studios. Much of what I teach fits the needs of my students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have two recording artists and 4 band directors that currently are active. Many of my students have excelled to be Music Teachers in some capacity. Both in performance, teaching, and arranging.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved guitar and piano as my primary instruments because of my passion for listening to various artists and going to Concerts.
When will I start to see results?
Week to Week a student will see results in taking (baby steps) to accomplishment. an accelerated method and proper assessment will be monitored fully by me. Seeing results is a week to week experience.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a great guitar and piano teacher John Rook and Danny Romo on Guitar. Later in College, Guitarists, Larry Coryell and Sal Salvador was inspirational. David Barnett and John Mohegan were also inspirational. As a Band Director, Orlando Vitello
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The interest is from listening music and the desire the students have to explore and find an instrument that will be conducive to facilitate and have success. Usually a student on the instruments here could start at age 6 for me through Seniors at all levels. Just to recommend any child before the age of six should experiment with a mini xylophone which I can also teach.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Bringing my Marching Band to All City scoring number 1 in 10 bands leading the competition,. I also played in California and Felix Cavaliers band for a east coast tour. Also playing in a musical pit band for West Side Story.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always pick out a common time each day to practice. Learn with instructor to breakdown difficult passages and scales and gradually increase speed if necessary. In separate manuscript book, read and apply extra techniques written
