Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar
I have 4 years of experience teaching private lessons. I started as a freelance instructor in my home town of Tabernacle NJ. I work at School Of Rock in Medford NJ for two summers, in 2017 and 2018. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do, I love sharing my knowledge with other people. To be able to inspire people, help them find their sound, and most of all bring a smile to their face is what I take pride in. Read More

My teaching style changes a bit depending on the student's age and experience. I find it very important to tailor the lessons to help reach the student's goals. Witha lot of studentsI have found much success in teaching with song examples and forms. Rhythm and groove are topics that I stress while learning and playing songs as well. Read More

I am not only teaching, but I am also constantly learning. When I started teaching, I used a variety of beginner guitar methods and I taught as I was taught. Over time I realized that the beginner books that I had been using were not the best way to learn guitar and that the way I have been taught guitar was also not the best way to learn the instrument.

I love music and love teaching. I am an experienced musician and song writer. I have toured in bands and have a great variety of experience in different genres of music. I have served as a worship leader and lead guitarist at the Crossing Life Church in Windham, NH, as well as collaborated on several recording projects over the years. I have taught private lessons on and off over the past 10 years by word of mouth referrals. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums
I draw from a wealth of numerous musical resources. I believe in facilitating healthy technique as it is the foundation of the physical aspect of playing. I combine this with the theoretical essentials, learning scales, intervals, reading music, improvising and conceptualizing. I advocate these aspects subject to the needs of the student. Read More

When I was fourteen years old, my older brother brought home an old acoustic with only the two lowest strings on it. I started noodling around with the bass parts to Beatles and Motown songs and became a bass guitarist! Now hooked on music, I became a guitar player, graduating from strumming at a poolside party to learning by playing (and teaching) in a host of rock and roll bands. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For me personally I like to break my practice into 2 separates ideas if you will. I spend at least 15 mins per session working on something that is new to me so I can continue to expand my technique and understanding of song structure. The rest of the time I spend playing complete songs that I have learned and possibly adding a new song. This can last for 15 mins - many hrs. If it turns into many hours I bounced back between instrumental noodling and possibly learning a song I already know in a new chord voicing. Practice has to be fun or I find a person won't do it and the guitar becomes a choir instead of a love.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe your child is ready to start lessons as soon as they show an interest in learning an instrument. It is best if your child has picked the guitar and that is their instrument of choice so they will be more likely to stick with their lessons and learning a new instrument.
Like learning a language or many other things, the younger a student starts the faster they typically learn. The student will need the ability to stay focused for the majority of the lesson and I will work to keep them engaged so the time goes fast and they remain interested.
When will I start to see results?
When you will see results is dependent on how often and the quality of your practice sessions. Like learning any new skill there are times that you really seem to be progressing and you can readily see the results, and there are times when you feel like your playing hasn't improved as much as you like....
For me, the key is to make sure you learn just at least 1 thing on any new lesson. All of these little victories end up adding up and over time you will definitely see results.
I will guide you in your learning, but it is ultimately the students job to practice to continue your learning journey.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud that I have learned to play complete songs, even write one of my own on a handmade acoustic guitar. My journey is not complete, my goal is not to master, but I have masters who I strive to sound like so I will recognize that sound I am searching for when I get to my destination.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I do play several instruments and my first instrument was the trumpet. I started learning to play the trumpet in 4th grade and played it all the way through high school. I also can play a little on the piano and drums. I also do play electric bass guitar.
My main second instrument is the guitar. My reason for switching from trumpet was because I wanted to learn an instrument that can stand on its own for singing and playing. Also, after spending so many years learning to read music (classical and jazz band mostly), I wanted to rely on my ear versus my eyes so I took a totally different approach to the guitar and dropped the theory and just focused on songs.
