I've had the opportunity to teach Ensemble music in a High school for students between 12-16 years old. Also did master classes for adults looking into genres like Boleros, Vals and Classical Music (Nylon Guitar). I've had 50= students doing private lessons with me and couldn't be happier of the results that they made with me. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

It is my hope throughout this whole process that students will learn how to develop their own playing style and musicianship that will allow them to tackle any musical gig or endeavor that may come their way. I will also during this time prepare students for the rigors of live performances they might have and guide them into choosing pieces of equipment that will cater to their sounds and tastes as well as their budget needs.

I've been singing my entire life (I have home videos singing Andrea Boccelli in the bathtub) and singing has been in my family for many generations. I began playing guitar and writing songs since high school, so I have four years of experience playing and singing together, writing songs, and performing them. In high school I took a few lessons in a combo class for guitar and voice, but mostly learned from YouTube! Read More

I tailor my instruction to the students wants, needs and abilities. It's a creative environment every week and I make it fun and rewarding. We set goals for each week and I review what they want to learn on a regular basis. It has to be fun! When they are having fun they learn more, it's easier and they want to continue. Read More

As the musical director for my college A Cappella group, there was an element of vocal teaching for new and existing members. We learned new song arrangements as a group, rather than assigning parts and having singers learn at home. Conversely, they taught me! It was a great collaboration. Most recently, I have taught private and large group lessons for elementary grade students (TK-5th) in the areas of ukulele, drum set, bucket drumming, hand drumming, and rock band. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Recording my own music and receiving fine reviews is nice, but having a person come up to you and tell you how much a piece of your music helped them get through a tough time is more important.
The award of healing others and myself with music is something that has happened to me on many occasions. it is by far the best award one will ever feel by doing music.
I developed an internationally acclaimed Jazz club from 1988 to 1997 in NYC. I still have musicians thanking me for providing a forum for them. That was a great experience as well.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students are musicians that have gone on to teach in major universities and record and tour themselves. Teaching music has not always been a one on one experience for me. Producing recording sessions and discussing musical ideas during these times was my best teaching ever. Many of these artists, Kevin Mahagany, Dave Stryker, Joe Lovano, Arthur Blythe, Anthony Cox, Teri Lynn Carrington, John Abercrombie, and more. These were my teachers and students simultaneously. we worked together side by side on tours and in recording studious. The process was always like getting a degree.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first played the baritone horn, because I had an overbite and the teachers in those days always used one's physical make up to determine the instrument you should play. A silly idea at best.
I went to drums and then in college I was forced to learn either piano or melodica or vibraphone, I chose the vibes. I recorded several CD's on this instrument. I then studied piano then studied trumpet and tenor sax. Along the way I have learned enough guitar and flute and hand percussion to use in my recordings. Choosing an instrument is not something I'm good at. I want to play all of them. I can say that each instrument has taught me more about the other instruments that I play, than I ever expected.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes
I had the distinct honor of performing with the great alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe. He was a self taught musician. he performed throughout the world for more that 30 years. His ability to sing a melody on his horn was applauded throughout the globe. He said little about music, He taught me how to be musical by example. he had an innate gift one that few possess. And standing next to him was the best musical lesson one can have. Because through osmosis we learn from our fellow human beings. This is where music is more powerful than most things in this universe. You can communicate so much by saying so little and let the music do all the talking.
