I am a professional musician and educator in New York City, I love talking about anything related to music, I am constantly challenging myself to learn new things about music and the greatest process to learn more about music is to share it with others. I've arguably learned more from my students over the years than they have from me. I went to Berklee College of Music on a full-ride scholarship, I graduated in 2013 with an honors diploma in music education and performance from the Global Jazz Institute. Read More

I studied music at WPUNJ with a focus on music theory as well as the business side of the music industry.  I began teaching in 2006, and it continues to be a wonderful journey.  I enjoy inspiring, motivating, and encouraging each student to become acquainted with the instrument so he or she can become more thoroughly skilled. I'm skilled at piano and electronic synthesizers, in which I can teach Classical or Contemporary music. Read More

I'm a professional guitar/singer teacher, teach musics both in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese if there's any interest, any kind of music. I've been playing/singing for 16 years, and done part of it as a job. I'm very passionate about music, and since guitar and voice always go together I think it's a great experience to do both at the same time. It doesn't take long to teach/learn if there is minimum training during the week, and and instrument is necessary for the student to practice. Read More

I've been teaching on and off over the past 10+ years.

Since returning to New York I have taught a number of private students throughout the Hudson Valley. Read More

I do, however, allow diversion and conversation in lessons. If there is a song that may explain the musical idea, we will stop and listen. If a young child wants to relay a story from school they thought of because of our practice, I will stop and listen. I may also speak in depth about musical history, style, or even the psychology of music. I think this combination draws students into the mind of a musician, and gets them to start thinking like one.
