Instruments: Piano Guitar

I began teaching guitar/piano part-time during my teenage years at a Music School in Northern New Jersey.  As of now I have 20+ years of part time musical instruction experience.  I mostly travel to students' homes for musical instruction which helps me stress to their parents how very important practice and routine is in musical studies.
