I taught formal lessons after I had graduated from college. I have also instructed family and friends and have helped them further develop their piano skills. Encouraging regular practise and emphasizing proper hand and wrist placement are things that I emphasize. I like to watch and see why someone is struggling to play a song, and I am able to offer a solution. I like to teach students how to play music that they enjoy: their favorite songs by their favorite artists. Read More

My teaching style is technical and yet open ended. I stress knowing scales, chords, inversions like the back of your hand to enable you to put them together just as we put the English language together. Letters become words which become sentences which become paragraphs which become stories. Keys become scales which build chords which build progressions which build phrases which build songs. Knowing this language of music, one can freely express what they hear in their mind outwardly to their audience. Read More

For beginner students that are younger, age 5 or 6, I will use the Faber primer lesson books. For older children, I like to use either Faber or Schaum Series music books. For adults I use either Faber or Alfred series music books. I purchase the books for the students and ask that the students to reimburse me the cost of the books. I also will use various sheet music of favorite songs the student would be interested in. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My first pride-worthy accomplishment was playing the third movement (Allegro) from the Haydn Trumpet Concerto with the school orchestra when I was a sophomore at LaGuardia High School for Performing Arts in New York City at age 15. My second major achievement was performing the first movement to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on double bass with a small string ensemble at a music camp in upstate New York when I was 16. For this I had to learn how to use a bow in only six weeks. As a drummer, my accomplishments are many. At 17 I was touring the with a jazz quartet and after many years of playing with a variety of contemporary bands that performed throughout New York, New Jersey and New England, I became a primary studio drummer in Boston with doubles on flute, trumpet and Flugelhorn. As a vocalist, I toured with Bobby McFerrin in a group called "Vocal Summit" with international appearances at major jazz festivals throughout Europe. I'm also proud of the five books I've written and published on vocal improvisation pedagogy.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I taught several students who have done very well as professional singers. Paula Cole began studying with me when she was 16. After graduating Berklee, Paula went on to sing backup for Peter Gabriel before becoming a solo entity. In 1998 she won a Grammy Award for the song "I Don't Want to Wait," which became the theme for the TV show, "Dawson's Creek." Chiara Izzi, a student from Italy, was awarded first prize at the Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition in 2011. Luciana Souza studied with me at Berklee College and won a Grammy Award in 2007 as a featured vocalist on a Herbie Hancock album entitled "River: The Joni Letters." Lalah Hathaway (daughter of Donny Hathaway) once sat in my improvisation class at Berklee and told me she couldn't improvise. After working with me for several years, Lalah eventually won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance with Snarky Puppy for "Something" in 2014. In 2015 she won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Jesus Children." She again won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for the cover version of her father's 1972 hit "Little Ghetto Boy" in 2016. Lalah is now considered one of the best vocalists in jazz and contemporary music.
