When teaching guitar I often use the Hal Leonard Method for younger students. I am a big fan of the Berklee Modern Method books for those who learn a little faster. For piano I also have found several methods I like and often use the Hannon Piano exercise book as supplement. For voice I like to record the lessons so the student can practice what we've worked on at home. Read More

Teaching and watching my students grow and develop as musicians is truly a rewarding experience. I help them accomplish their goals by understanding where they are and by setting challenging, fun, and realistic goals for each lesson. I'm a patient teacher who believes in being positive and giving honest and consistent feedback to my students. My goal is to create a disciplined but friendly environment for me and my students where respect and focus are the main pillars of every lesson allowing this way to enjoy the music learning process.

My name is Gregg, I like to define music as aural changes over time, a change people listen to regardless of their personal styles. The teaching of music is then a transmittal of a new language with all its nuances. It is these changes that first attracted me to music. I really started my career in music at a concert for a whole high school. I "reached the wall" and went over it, all my playing seemed effortless and still in sync with the rest of that venue.

I believe that a passion for music is something to be celebrated and nurtured. It's my job to help it grow. I still remember the first time I was able to play my favorite song on guitar. That feeling never leaves you. Instruments are hard, but with consistent practice and enough inspiration, I believe every student can achieve a level of proficiency. I follow the students in the directions they are inspired to go. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
For beginning students who are children, I start with the book "Learn to play piano" for piano students and for guitar "Learn to play guitar." It is a basic book with specific essential elements for reading and understanding music. As the student progresses I use to introduce songs for their repertoire applying what they leaned in the book. For Voice lessons is more practice, which includes exercises for breathing, diction, tune, Corporal expressions among others. Read More

Greetings, I'm a recent college graduate who studied secondary education (grades 7-12). I'm a lifelong musician, and have been playing guitar and alto saxophone for about 20 years. I've also been playing piano for about 10 years. I studied music theory, composition, and musicianship for four years; and I continue to use these skills in my practice as a professional musician today. My band is currently in the process of recording a demo, and we've had numerous gigs in New Haven, New York City, and Massachusetts. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that has the desire to study music should be allowed to take lessons, regardless of age. I believe that even if the student does not become a musician, playing an instrument creates discipline, character and it will give them an extra activity for them to do whenever they are stuck in their daily routine. A child cannot be involuntarily made to play an instrument when the parent or guardian wants to, it should come naturally and out of curiosity of the student, therefore creating interest and eventually passion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My main advice is to dedicate a healthy amount of time such as an hour minimum per day. I believe that concentration and effective use of time is more rewarding than many hours of unfocused and sparse practicing. I believe that it is effective to divide the practice time into two or more topics to allow for a more focused session. I also strongly recommend not to overdo any exercise or practicing routine when one is "Stuck", I recommend leaving it for another practice session or to partake on any other activity for a short while to enable mental health and clarity.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishment I am most proud of is
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my brother wanted to play Guitar. We both signed up for lessons and after less than a year, I was already taking mine and my brothers lesson because I felt so passionate about the instrument. I stayed with the guitar because it was an instrument with which I connected and felt that I could express myself. I also played piano briefly before the guitar but not having the correct teacher led me to abandon the instrument and never really have the passion to play it again.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first guitar teacher taught me lessons consecutively for eight years and he is the main reason that I went into music. My teacher inspired me by always giving me positive feedback and by adapting the lessons to what I wanted to learn. His attitude was always motivating me to become better while being very demanding of what he expected me to achieve in each lesson. This led me to practice everyday since I can remember and it is what led me to become the musician that i am today. A teacher will always have a fundamental role in the students development and love towards music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will be seen depending on how much the student practices and takes seriously their music education. A teacher cannot make a student better, only the student. The teachers role is to give guidance and suggest new ideas and methods that will enable the student to learn better but it ultimately comes down to the student to see progress. As a teacher, encouraging the student to learn the music they want and giving them a comprehensive lesson plan and practice schedule is a great way to start.
