Music Lessons in Bayonne, NJ

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga

I teach rudiments, technique, and reading drum charts for my beginner students. Wity more advanced students, we study sightreading, and explore different styles of drumming. Typically, I favor using drum method books, and listening to recordings for students to use and listen to in between lessons. Keeping a steady tempo is of course an essential part of good drumming -- I use a metronome to help mystudents achieve that skill, and encourage them to use one when practicing. Read More

I am a fun and easy-going instructor and I love working with people. In 2015, I graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a Bachelor of Music degree in Viola Performances. Asides from viola, I also play piano and drums at local churches. I currently teach at Edward R. Murrow High School, so I commute between Brooklyn and Queens and am willing to teach in both areas. Viola and violin are the best instruments I can teach (up to advanced), with cello and bass at a beginner/intermediate level. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I'm big on ear training and hearing where the bass fits in in the context of a song. The student will pick the songs they want to learn and I will show them what the bass is doing and why. For beginniners we will go over all the notes and what notes go into various chord structures. I am very patient and will never rush a student. They must learn at their own pace so they can enjoy what they're doing. Read More
