Practice makes permanent. It doesn't always make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect, and therefore I encourage students to always make consistent time to practice and perfect their craft. Consistent practice with good technique and attention to detail is better than hours and hours of lazy, uninspired practice. Therefore, I try to set new challenges each week that are fresh and exciting which encourage active, perfect practice. I want to make sure students are eager to learn, so I employ teaching techniques that make learning fun. Read More

Watching a student discover a passion for music is one of the most rewarding experiences I know. Therefore, it is important that the lessons be tailored to match each student's learning style and musical identity. I do this by setting goals that are realistic for each student's pace and finding out where each student's musical inspiration lies. While the fundamentals must be learned by all students, this inspiration will determine what areas of music will be most rewarding to them. Read More

I believe, first and foremost, your passion for music and your instrument is the most important element when learning. There is nothing better than seeing a students eyes light up when they have accomplished their goal! With that said, I want to know what music inspires you and what styles you love. I grew up worshiping Stevie Ray Vaughn and so I focused on blues music as a young kid but draw inspiration from all different genres and learned many forms and styles. Read More

I am primarily a guitar player from the Hudson Valley in New York, currently living in Nashville, TN. I also play and teach bass guitar! I have worked around the world on 3 different cruise ships; namely Carnival Dream, Princess Dawn and Celebrity Millennium. I have been teaching since around 2011, which is also when I began performing live. I went to Dutchess Community College and SUNY New Paltz universities, where I studied music (mostly jazz, classical, Latin/Brazilian and Metal/Rock) and ultimately graduated with a B.S. in Contemporary Music degree.

Personal experience, Mel Bay, Hal Leonard etc. I prefer to tailer my lessons to the students needs and desires. I like to instill the basics of guitar playing proper form and techniques, chords, scales, and the theory behind all that. However it's really more about the music that the student wants to learn. I teach guitar tablature and scale/chord diagrams. I also teach standard music notation for the beginner students especially the younger kids. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because of The Beatles. I was inspired by my father's record collection. I fell in love with The Beatles at an early age. All the music I loved as a child featured the guitar. From The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. I then discovered classical music through my teacher. Andres Segovia blew my mind. And then Django. Then The Smiths. Then Radiohead. It just never stopped. The guitar was cast central in all of it. I was amazed at how many different sounds, styles and emotions could be made on the same instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been fortunate to have had several great teachers who have inspired me. Beginning at a young age, I had a teacher who was talented and patient. He inspired me to practice. I couldn't wait until my next guitar lesson - I look forward to it all week. In college I had several professors who were instrumental in my growth as a musician. They challenged me intellectually. They challenged me as an artist. Being surrounded my musicians of world class caliber was highly motivating. My teachers were also working professionals who performed music around the world. I could see the results of hard work and practice in real time.
When will I start to see results?
"Results" probably means something different to various students. Establishing realistic goals is important. What are you trying to accomplish? Learning popular songs can happen quickly with regular practice. Performing an advanced classical piece is going to take more time. The more you practice, the faster you'll improve. Learning an instrument requires dedication, patience and discipline. It won't happen if you don't put the work in. These are valuable lessons that are useful in all areas of learning.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows enthusiasm for music and can hold an instrument they are ready! I've taught students as young as 5. 3/4 size guitars can help for the little ones. Do they love to listen to music? Do they sing along? Play air guitar? Talk about music? Do their friends play an instrument? For the younger child, they also must have the attention span to sit for a 30 minute lesson. The lesson time can increase to 60 minutes as they get older (7 - 10). Music can help build confidence in other areas.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a regular schedule with specified goals. 30 minutes of efficient practice will do more for your playing than 60 minutes of unfocused playing. Begin slowly, taking small sections of the music you are working on. Repetition is key to build muscle memory. If a particular section or phrase gives you trouble, slow down and repeat that phrase. Separate it from the rest of the piece/song. Visualizing your hands moving as you want them to helps. Close your eyes and envision yourself playing the part perfectly. Then slowly work through the section. Don't rush it. Time and repetition will get you there.

Looking for guitar lessons at home on a weekly basis. I'm either a strong beginner or very rusty intermediate. My true joy is playing along with the songs I love.
