Instruments: Guitar Voice
I tried to do some training on my own with a couple of exercises that are said to improve the voice but that never seemed to work well on me. At that point I started to look for a voice teacher. I went through different teachers, techniques and methods, and learned some good exercises. I felt that I was improving a little but was never fully satisfied. A couple of years later I heard about the Rabine Method or Functional Voice Method. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I prefer to teach beginners utilizing the Pepe Romero and Christopher Parkening technique. I also prefer teaching all beginning students using the classical method as this provides more variety using the left and right hand techniques. Should students wish to continue on with different styles suchas jazz, blues, latin jazz and so forth, having the left and right hand techniques will make the students far more versatile. Another key aspect to my teaching is figuring out students'time management. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I can help you with any music and any technique. Learn how to adjust your attack to just touch. Learn how to develop solo's based on the vocal lines and chords, instead of just pentatonic and blues scales. Work on Finger picking as well, learn to use all 5 fingers on your right hand. or use the pick and 3 fingers, with me you WILL use your pinky or little finger, on both hands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Mandolin
I use several different method books for teaching. I try to use the method that best matches the goals of the student or the parents of the student. I currently use: Alfred's, Bastien, Piano Adventures andProgressive methods primarily. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I accommodate young students by mixing in play with rote-practice and constantly communicating with parents so that they can help guide their child's practice at home. I work alongside adult students by making sure that I take into account the breadth of their ambition against their time constraints when creating their regiments. The truth is that, if you are just learning guitar or trying to significantly improve, you are taking on a substantial commitment. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I utilize every instruction manual possible as well as my own experience from 15 years of teaching in the classroom. I am able to differentiate for students with special needs that include developmental delay, accommodation, honors, and gifted. I specialize in classroom instruction as well as private lessons. Depending on student needs and wants, I tailor a specific learning plan to help students progress beyond current skill levels. I make every effort to give students experience in new genres and reinforce knowledge in familiar genres. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I believe the most valuable thing that I have learned from teaching music is that you can actually practice "practicing." The way you practice is the way you perform, so I stress during my lessons that one should be playing the same way one will practice alone. A lot of the kids I teach really like to play fast, but I emphasize over and over that playing fast is not nearly as important as playing correctly. Any of my students would attest that I am constantly fixing their posture and technique. I also love to emphasize that you don't always need your instrument to be able to practice it. One can get a lot of valuable practice in just by playing drum patterns on one's lap or figuring out flute runs with a pencil!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Sign up for a trial! It can't hurt. I have taught some really young kids, the youngest of the bunch being 4 and 5 year-olds; Sometimes they aren't even psychically big enough to sit behind a drum set or hold a guitar. Whether or not they are ready - I have discovered that it really depends on the child. At School of Rock, we have some tiny kids who can absolutely shred on their instrument and are way ahead of the curve, but I have also had a four-year-old in lessons who I just couldn't get to listen to me and only wanted to bang on drums without learning anything. The important thing is that the teacher (me) and the parent (you) are communicating honestly. I don't want to waste anybody's time or money!
When will I start to see results?
If you are a true beginner, I guarantee you will see results by the end of the trial lesson. The reason such a high percentage of my trials sign up for lessons is because I am very good at helping my students to realize any and all accomplishments they have made. By the end of my trial, the student should be able to play a basic rock beat, and it always fills me with joy to see the excitement that comes with learning this - any age. I am teaching some kids who are brand new to the instrument, have only had three or four lessons, and can already play through a whole song.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on any instrument is true, uninhibited creative expression. To be able to have an idea and express it through music the same way you would through language. When I jam with other musicians, we are constantly picking up on each other's ideas and if nobody's ego gets in the way we create a time and space that is a true combination of everyone's energy. That being said, there are always very technical things that one can learn on an instrument to achieve mastery. One of the ways I have been attempting to master drums is by listening to songs with challenging parts, figuring them out, notating them, and then learning the whole thing. It is no easy task!
