Instruments: Piano Guitar
I now have 3+ years of teaching experience privatlely as well have taught in some of the local schoool system's music programs as a substitute teacher. The people I have met along the way of always added something to my life as I have hoped to have added something to theirs as well. Music is a journey in more ways than one. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
It is very important that lessons be fun as well as informative, and as soon as I am able, I like to develop musical, and technical skills within the context of real music, that the student enjoys. Of course for absolute beginners, we have to develop certain skills before we are able to do this but it is important to me, that any student always has material that they enjoy practicing, and that the learning process is never too abstract or needlessly sterile.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder
My teaching experience has been as eclectic as my musical experiences. Over the past 2 years I have been teaching private lessons at my home studio consistently. Currently I'm looking to expanding my student-base and focus on teaching full time while finishing my final year of graduate studies. The majority of my students have been beginners ages 5-14, although I've been giving informal guitar lessons to peers for the majority of my college and graduate school time. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Electric Violin Fiddle
Hello, dear musicians! If you are not looking for your typical violin lesson, you have come to the right place. I started playing violin in a Suzuki method program, which taught me the importance of training your ear. I honed in my classical skills, and thereon pursued the unconventional in violin genres my going to Berklee College of Music. It gave me possibility to expand my ear even more with free improvisation, jam band, jazz, rock, funk, blues, pop, Middle Eastern and Latin genres, on top of orchestral and quartet playing. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet Music
Hello! I am a professional clarinetist originally from Portland, ME. I specialize in orchestral repertoire, however my career has allowed for solo engagements as well as extensive chamber music across North America and Europe. I currently serve as the Principal Clarinet of the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra and Phoenix, as well as Second/Bass Clarinet with Boston Lyric Opera. I strive to maintain relevance within my own playing while modeling it after clarinet icons throughout the generations, namely: Thomas Martin, Harold Wright, Daniel Bonade, Stanley Hasty, Larry Combs, and Robert Marcellus.

Instruments: Cello
Having grown up in a musical family (with the only exception being my dad), I have learned first hand what it takes to be a successful teacher. Although I am in no way a master teacher, I have taught primarily younger individuals ranging from 10-13. My goal is never to rush the pupil, as easy as that may be at times. This only encourages greater frustration and ultimately failure down the road. Read More
Instruments: Drums Recorder Orchestral Percussion Music
I've had a lot of opportunities to sort my teaching out. I realize that if the student doesn't get it, it may be that I'm not putting it across effectively. So I had better try to slow things down or speed them up, model rather than explain, or vice versa! And always try smarter before trying harder, even though harder may be the right approach. Because in addition to teaching music I'm teaching approaches to learning. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Fiddle Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have a hunger to learn what I like the sound of. Because of this, I have picked up many Instruments that are found in the Celtic music tradition as well as many others.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music would have to be Celtic music. I grew up playing it with friends and family, so it has become a part of who I am.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I don't think I could do anything outside of the arts. If not a musician, I would pursue acting, comedy, or perhaps writing. I love to cook, so perhaps I would consider being a chef. It's all about being a creative. I believe in order to truly experience life, you need to experience the sweet satisfaction of creating something.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I sit down, set a timer for at least 30 minutes, and play through my latest or favorite piece along with a metronome. I start the metronome slowly and work up speed over time.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
the hardest thing to master is a truly effective practice method. Just like anything else, it requires a routine to be successful. Developing routines is a very hard skill to master in my opinion.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father loved Rock & Roll, so i followed suit. We would jam for hours when I was as young as 8 years old. I just loved being able to sing and play my favorite songs whenever I wanted.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2016 I was flown across the Atlantic to perform at the Largest Celtic Music Festival in the world, Celtic Connections. In 2019 I played on stage with one of my greatest heroes, Liz Carroll.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first Fiddle Teacher snapped me out of my nervousness by putting the fiddle in my hands and giving me cold hard facts: that if I wanted to learn I needed to play my very first notes, even if they didn't sound good. She played along with me slowly which greatly reinforced my confidence.
When will I start to see results?
If your heart is in it, you could be playing music in some small way in as little as one month or less. All it takes is the will to learn and a love for music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Growing up, I payed Celtic style guitar with friends or at events purely for the love of it. Over time it became clear that this was something I could do professionally as people started to pay me for the music I gave them.
