Murrow high school of performing arts where I learned to hone my voice whilst learning guitar. I kept growing in musicianship throughout college, where I had started recording my music. I grew in artistry and performed some of my own works in New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. Read More

You can expect my lessons to be fun and casual. My goal is to keep you interested, motivated, and excited about learning the guitar. There will be no stiff, boring repetition drills or endless scales to perfect. My lessons are meant to teach you new material, offer insight, correct technique, answer questions, and encourage progress. Your job as a student is to take the information learned during each lesson and "practice, practice, practice" during the week. Read More

If I am teaching children, I will mostly focus on fundamentals and developing finger strength or coordination for the instrument. I will try to instill the foundations of music while attempting to make it fun and interesting.

I am deeply interested by all genres and styles of music and I try to follow where the excitement is. Read More

Of course theory and regular practice are both very important. Read More

Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Read More
