I tailor my approach based on the student's prior experiences. For beginners, I employ effective and renowned methods used at Berklee College of Music, such as the "Berklee Guitar Theory", "A Modern Method for Guitar", "Fundamentals of Guitar", among others. Once the student has established a strong foundation and technique on their instrument, we dive right into Berklee's proficiency exams. This phase includes mastering concepts like triads and their inversions, four-part chords and their inversions, various arpeggios, and scales spanning one to three octaves. Read More

I have been teaching private music lessons for more than 30 years at my home and at my student's homes.  After I received my Master's degree I obtained my teaching certificate in vocal and instrumental music for grades K - 12.  I taught vocal music for the Jersey City Board of Education and later I taught strings for the  Kearny Board of Education.  I prepared students for auditions and recitals always encouraging them to practice and learn music theory and music history.

I enjoy watching students progress and improve. It brings joy to them and myself. Playing guitar or bass for me is a form of art therapy/meditation.

I've helped clients get past obstacles in their abilities and philosophy about the guitar/bass and music in general. Read More

After teaching for 12 years I don't have a fixed method. I have categories of students, from children who are trying to function in a band setting, to children who are trying to develop a musical or compositional talent. I take particular joy in teaching adults who believe it is too late to achieve levels of technical proficiency that would make them proud. My journey from classical music to jazz through pop, swing, rock, soul and folk has taught me how to blend in with any style, and my classical education has given me the necessary toolbox to communicate about advanced theoretical concepts with students who are interested.

I have had many students on and off over the years. I tend to focus on making music or teaching but not both as I find doing anything well involves 100% committment.

The methods I teach will not only get you progressing but self-progressing and will cover a variety of instruments. Read More
