I began teaching guitar in 2002 while still attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. That's when I found my true calling in life and I have now taught hundreds of students.

I've also helped several of my students with college auditions so that they too can become musicians, like me. Music is a way of life for me and I can't think of anything more rewarding. Read More

All students are assessed in reading music abilities as well as playing ability. Beginners are taken through a friendly course of learning about the instrument.

Building skills in both left and right hands are essential as well as learning the entire fretboard, something not enough players know. Read More

I will encourage them to find the music they want to play, more importantly, I will adjust the music to their level so they can enjoy it more. Read More

Since the age of 9, I've been learning and performing with a guitar. First it was recitals among my fellow peers at my local Music school. After gaining enough proficiency, I started playing in a multitude of bands as a teenager, playing various local venues around South Florida. My love of music comes from the personal fulfillment attained when creating original compositions. Learning to play songs that are enjoyable is great, but the best part of music comes from the ability to be able to invent and create something new. Read More
