Sure, it's a cliche, but it's true: everybody's different. Music lessons are a unique opportunity to learn in whatever fashion works best for the individual, and there is nothing I love more than finding out exactly how the student learns best. After all, it's not about me or how I like to teach. It's about them. Read More

I am currently teaching at Westover as well as have my own LLC and teaching at 3 online music tutoring websites.

I've played at such venues as: The Shubert Theater, Toad’s PLace, The Bridgeport Bluefish Stadium, The Webster Theater, Woolsey Hall & Sprague Hall at Yale School of Music. Read More

My teaching style is very laid back and comforting for students to progress at their own pace. I will always remind students to not rush and encourage them to have confidence within themselves. The most important thing for a musician to have is CONFIDENCE!!!!!! It’s important to develop that at a young age because it will make performances easier as they get older. For older students I will help them develop the confidence because I believe it’s never to late. Read More

Often I do use Mel Bay or Hal Leonard books to get a student started reading, but try to shift to popular music as soon as possible to keep the repertoire interesting and relevant for the student, as well has their families and peers. As the student develops, students will learn to expand on these ideas with theory based improvisation to "make the song their own." For More Advanced students, we can work from the Real or Fake Books, or the Ireel App to increase improvisational experience and confidence. Read More

My teaching style is based on having fun and enjoying music. I work with my students to set goals and reach them. I use my song based approach to encourage my students because one of the main reasons one picks up an instrument is to be able to recreate the music they love most. By doing this I can cater to my students' needs and desires as musicians. Read More

My specialty is Rock music. It's my passion, my love and my lifestyle. To learn Rock really well, I also cover the basics of some different styles that I believe are important to know such as Blues, Jazz, Classical and Metal. I believe a musician needs to be versatile and open-minded in order to progress and become fluent in the instrument. These are some of the music theory and techniques I teach: Scales - Major and minor modes ( Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian) Pentatonic Scales - Harmonic minor and Melodic Minor among other exotic scales Chord formation and progessions for all styles- Pull-off, Hammer on, legato, tremolo picking, finger-tapping, Arpeggios, string skipping,etc..

In 2018 I agreed to become a Teaching Artist with Music Ascension and took on the role of Music Director for Indian Head Camp during the summer of 2018. At Indian Head I organized the curriculum for the students and recorded a full length album of songs that campers wrote. Since then I continue to write and produce music for TV, local artists and bands that I am actively involved with. I continue to grow as a private teacher through in home lessons and as a faculty member at Long Ridge Music Center in Stamford CT. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The more you practice what I have taught you, the better a musician you will be. Practice as much as you can or want to until you get as good as you can or want to be. I can't force you to practice, but I can give you the steps necessary to become as good of a musician as you potentially could be. I will teach you the necessary steps to becoming a fantastic musician, if you decide to practice what I teach you and learn it on your own, you will eventually become a good enough musician to perform and also teach others what you have learned.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Does your child want to learn so badly that he or she is begging you to find a way for them to learn their desired instrument? That's when you know they are fully ready. If your child says they want to learn how to play music, like playing piano for example, then it is your turn to make that happen. Once you make that happen, I will continue to make it happen. They won't be able to learn what they want without a teacher to guide them. I would gladly be that teacher and I am willing to help anyone at any age.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results as soon as you meet me. We will go over exactly what you want to go over and I will make it as fun as possible. You will be able to learn at your own pace and I will be able to teach you the methods that I came up with to get myself where I am today. You will see the best results when you take what I have taught you and then learned from it and practiced it so that you can remember what I taught you so that we can move on to improving your skills as a musician. You are the one that is in control of making yourself receive positive results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I didn't really have any teacher. I was born to play music and I made that happen on my own. I have an uncle that taught me a few chords on the guitar when I was six years old. A few months later after I learned some chords, I started teaching him some stuff that I improvised on. He would show me a Beatles song, I would correct him and tell him that the chord he showed me is actually a little more complicated than what is on the record. My perfect pitch helped me to learn every instrument and I used that to teach myself what I hear in other songs.
