My experience as a music educator started in high school when my band director sent a few middle school bass and guitar students my way, at which point I discovered a great love for teaching. Since then I have taught several electric and upright bass students throughout my time as a Berklee student, as well as rhythm section master classes. I'm experienced in teaching students of all ability levels in subjects such as technique, rhythm/ear training, sight reading, music theory, and composition. Read More

I am fairly new to professional teaching. I've been giving very occasional, informal lessons to friends for at least 5 years now. However, I am passionate about moving forward as a teacher, and sharing my twin loves of music and learning with students at any level of ability. In my past informal lessons, I have taught left- and right-hand guitar technique; fretboard logic; scales and scale patterns; chord-voicings (and how to develop your own); harmony; melody; modal theory; and repertoire, including such songs as the jazz standard "All Of Me", and Red Hot Chili Peppers "Can't Stop".

Hi. I live in central New Hampshire and am a private music instructor. I teach both at my students' homes and at mine. My teaching studio is the music room at my home. It's a very comfortable space, equipped with a studio upright (acoustic) piano, a Hammond organ, a keyboard, amps, several guitars and various other stringed instruments, tuners and the like. I've been involved with music in one manner or another since I was six years old: eight years of private piano lessons, music courses in college (grad with a BA in Philosophy), study and subsequent employment with a New England Conservatory of Music graduate, extensive self-study on numerous instruments plus intermittent performances.
