Instruments: Piano Organ
My main goal in teaching is to bring out the best in my students. I make sure to take into account each students learning style and to go at their pace. My wish is to give students the tools that they need to succeed and then to allow them the freedom to fly with that. The main concept that is essential to growth in art is practice. Students will need to understand the importance of practicing regularly in order to nurture the art and develop as a musician and person. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My first and foremost goal is to inspire a student to want to learn and thrive in their instrument. If I can do this, my job along with theirs, becomes that much easier. I try and do this by heavily incorporating the music that they identify the most with while strengthening their technique with a classical foundation. And, introduce a well-rounded set of incentives for each of their accomplishments. After all of this, without saying, the passion for the piano should have grown after taking root in our first lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
I like to start from the ground up, which means I start with Music Theory. Yes starting off with learning how to play the instrument is great but, if you don't know what you're doing while you're blowing then whats the point? Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I use a diverse groups of methods that are designed to meet the needs of the individual student and that student's goals. It should be noted that correct technique is the thread that connects all types of music and musical style at all age levels. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person. I like to make sure that I am teaching both the ear to listen and the eye to read, so I make sure I can improve the development of both by providing effective sight=reading and aural exercises in every lesson.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
For beginning students I have a number of books, resources and methods that I utilize in order to keep the lesson engaging and enjoyable. For more advanced students, I typically have a lesson plan or a direction that I want to go after assessing strengths and weaknesses. For all of my students, I always ensure that we are learning and practicing music and concepts that they find enjoyable and is headed in a direction that they want to go, all the while still challenging them of course.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I teach music, not just instruments. I try to develop a broad appreciation for music that will stay with my students wherever they go in life. I take an individualized approach based on learning styles and strengths. I believe in positive reinforcement, especially with younger students! I also take into account preferences for music styles and attempt to use repertoire that not only broadens their experience, but keeps students focused and interested. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Music
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
When I was in college, one of my dorm mates played guitar. I borrowed it from him and taught myself how to play pretty quickly. I started playing bass while recording and wanted a specific part. Understanding keyboard and music theory enables me to figure out almost any instrument. I can play cello and double bass, and have even made sense on a saxophone.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my large family, for generations. Although both of my sons play but not professionally. Most of my family seem to become doctors. Not something I'd want to do.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It just kind of happened. A friend and I started playing together when we were about 15. We had a band within a year. One thing led to another and we started becoming popular. It was so much fun. We were offered a recording contract with London Records, (the Rolling Stones label, at the time), but we were all underage, and parents wanted us to go to college, and not be tied up. In retrospect it was probably good that we didn't sign. I've seen many young people, with success in music, have it ruin their lives.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I did not finish my music degree because I was offered a tour with a rock band and decided to go that route. Honestly, I learned more from doing that tour, than I would have if I'd stayed in school. I have a diploma, from New York University, in computer technology. I realized early on that computers and music were going to be important for each other in the future. I am expert in several computer recording programs, and have taught computer production and recording to several students.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love performing any type of music almost anywhere. The energy one gets from performing in front of people is incredible and addictive. There is no feeling like it that compares to anything else I've ever experienced. I have played all over the world in all different size and type of venue. My dream piece would be to perform one of my original compositions to an audience that pays attention and connects with me through my music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have expertise in technical theater and really enjoy that. I also love to write. I am currently working on an original film script. I also love to cook and think culinary school would be fun. I am a pretty good amateur chef.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like and play all styles of music, as long as it is good. I am constantly looking for what is new, musically, in the world. I have recently discovered a new band and genre, that I find quite interesting. The Hu Band from Mongolia. They are gaining success in Europe and quite interesting and unique. They are a Metal Band, using traditional, ancient Mongolian instruments and Mongolian throat singing. Worth a listen and look. They're on Youtube.
