While in Florida I was the go-to guy for session work at Omega 4 Studio doing jingles and backing tracks for TV and independent movies. When not out playing or in the studio I teach guitar and do guitar clinics for JB Player Guitars. Right now I am working in the studio when I have the time making a debut solo CD, a slow work in progress called Electrica Acoustica Exotica. Read More

When starting with new students; I like to get to know them, their experience and what they want to learn. I am here for my students to let me know what they want to learn. If they are not sure, I go in the direction I feel they should go. Letting my students choose what they want to learn, helps me and makes the student happy and continue with classes. Read More

As I teach a wide variety of instruments, I can only give a short explanation on each instruments road map, However! My classical strings students will all be started in the Essential Elements book 1. Upon completion of said book, all strings students will then move to the Suzuki books to step from beginner to intermediate strings player. Should the student grow bored of said books, I also provide a plethora of outside material to create fun challenges with more familiar music (pop tunes, video game music, easy arrangements of orchestral works, etc.) if the need arise!

I have 23 years of teaching experience in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with students of all ages. Music is an international language that has brought me many wonderful life experiences. In addition to classroom and private instruction, I compose my own music. I perform regularly at folk venues and festivals. My classical music training and my love for Broadway have influenced my writing. My musician friends call my genre 'theatrical folk.' I enjoy sharing my knowledge and love of music with my students.

I first started teaching how to play guitar and giving music lessons when I began to go to college, I used to teach as a part time job while I was studying, when I've graduated I switched from part time to full time, I've worked in several music institutions and I'd also given private classes, nowadays I devote this by doing more private classes in students homes and online, maybe soon I'll have my own studio to teach where I can bring my students into a more comfortable environment with more teaching tools for the learning process.

At first, students may require a lot of assistance to get through the material, but as they progress, I teach with the intention that they will one day be able to look at a piece and teach themselves without assistance from me. This can take quite a long time and usually requires years of dedication and study. I encourage students to understand the music theory behind the songs they play so its about a lot more than simply memorizing notes on their instrument. Read More

I start my lessons with asking the student to give me their top 10 favorites songs that they would like to learn and based on their level I will select one song to start. I start with the essential elements of theory and basic chords. Once the student has progressed I will beging to introduce different styles of music to find out what the student is interested in, and build a lesson's plan designed specifically fot the student and keeping the motivation and fun classes regardless of their ability level.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When people started telling me that's what I should do.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided by seeing other musicians play and them told me ?"Its not that hard, you just have to DO it (practice occasionally at your leisure)
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Brown Sugar, by the Rolling Stones, because it has such a unique sound (being in G tuning and utilizing special chording and embellishments to the chords), and it is such a rousing song, that it transforms the audience form lackluster to being lively and dancing.
Although the original recorded words were offensive, I change those words a bit, so the song is not offensive, as do the Rolling Stones themselves, when they play in concert.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. Always keep your instrument HANDY (ex. on a music stand, where you can reach over and pick it up often) - not in a case, and put away.
2. Go slow, and increase speed as is comfortable for you.
3. No need to keep to a strict schedule for prctice. just do it now & then, when it suits you. You'll feel better about it that way, and your prctices will be more like fun than work.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Ordinarily age 10 (although some have done well at younger ages). Kids learn to read and write as early as age 6 or 7, so some kids would be good for starting lessons even that young.
When will I start to see results?
After the very FIRST lesson. (ex. with the guitar, just 3 simple chords will allow you to play literally hundreds of songs and tunes) Same with the mandolin. Even with the violin you could walk away after just 1 hour, already able to play a simple, short tune melody.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was inspired by a guitar player, who was a friend, and who played on stage. I got my first lessons from him.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No special reason. I play 3 instruments (guitar, violin/fiddle, and mandolin) all in equal amounts. I love all 3, and neither is primary to the other.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classic rock on the solid body electric guitar (Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, the Cream, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young)
On the violin - popular songs like the Christmas songs Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Jingle Bells, New Years Eve song (Auld Lang Syne), Summertime, America the Beautiful, You Are My Sunshine, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Santa Lucia, O Sole Mio, Never on Sunday, etc
European fiddle tunes (bordering on classical violin) - I like the melodies, and general tone of the tunes. American fiddle tunes are good too, but they aren't as complex and musical as the European tunes, which are similar to classical music.
These tunes were all originally dance music, but they have been modified slightly (jazzed up), to make them more as listening music, and I teach students how to do this themselves, for any tune they may play.
I also like Bluegrass mandolin, and rock music on the guitar. I like them all very much.
Bluegrass - a combination of Country, Folk, and Jazz.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Being good music listener.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Bowing on the violin/fiddle.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do have a book that I refer to for my mandolin lessons. It is very instructive, and especially for movable chords.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Best thing is to just pick up the instrument at random times when you feel like it, and play with it. This is fun and becomes very useful practice as well.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing the baroque piece, Rights of Man (in E minor) on the violin
Also, playing the Rolling Stones song Brown Sugar, in open G tuning, on the guitar (either acoustic or electric)
