Most of all I enjoy sewing the seed of passion that I received when I began playing my first guitar at the age of 8, and nurturing that which has brought me to love and enjoy the music I experience everyday of my life. I hope that everyone of my students gets out of the each lesson exactly what they came for and more. Whether you are looking for a hobby, trying to reach mastery, or just want to learn a few tunes for a loved one, I want to focus the lesson to your desire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I teach to inspire fun and love in music and to give the student a sense of accomplishment in their progress. Once I know the student I can cater the teaching style to their individual needs. In my experience, a young student must see results, they need to know they aren't treading water, so I believe it's imperative to keep the student engaged and fully aware of how they're progressing.

Music has been healing, a form of release, and my passion for many years. I did not go to school for music, however I was raised in an environment, with a mother who loved rock-n-roll, so she taught us how to dance, however both of my parents were musicians. I learned to play music much later in life from instructors, and self-taught. Once I got the bug, I took voice lessons as well, eventually I became a singer songwriter. Read More

Typically, I favor using traditional curriculum for beginning students (Alfred, Faber, Bastian). As a student progresses we typically incorporate Clemeneti sonatinas and the students favorite pop/modern songs. When a student achieves an advanced level of difficulty curriculum is purchased depending on the student's goals, college aspirations, and learning objectives. I typically administer a Classical Method of education, whether in private lessons or the classroom. It is my hope that time in my classroom encourages dialectic conversation and reaps gains in every learning situation. Read More

Instruments: Piano
For over 10 years, I have been providing the Los Angeles area with inspiring and fun lessons at the piano. I have been playing the piano for over 40 years, both professionally and recreationally. When you choose me as your teacher, you are getting much more than a 'piano' teacher. You are getting a consummate musician who has devoted his life to making music professionally throughout the world. If you are a beginning student, in a short period of time, you will be making music at the piano. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
This all depends on my students. There are many amazing drum books out there and I will use them based upon what the student wants to learn, as well as thier strenghts and weaknesses. Sometimes, I do not use books. I simply put together exercises based upon the student's learning style.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is independence between limbs. Perhaps equally as hard is kowing how ti play appropriately .As a drummer, we are the pulse of the band, but we also must know when to NOT play so much and when to support the band and/or vocalist.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have traveld all over this country performing. I've played at famous venues like The Whiskey A-Go Go in Hollywood, The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, The Half Moon in London, UK, and the Count Baise Theater on Redbank, NJ and so many great places in between. My proudest accomplishment though is simply having been a part of so much great music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my first teachers where my uncles. All of my uncles could either sing or play an instrument. They taught me how to play in a band. How to listen and when to lead. To say that I appreiciate them is a gross understatement.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the dynamic range of the drums. They can be so delicately quiet and then powerfully loud. The drums control the way an audience moves. I also believe the instrument simply fits my personality. A drumset, and the person playing it, can not be ignored. They are big, they catch the light. Yet in most popular genres of modern music, the drums are supportive and almost in the background.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone progresses differently, so it's hard to say when results will become obvious. However, my goal is to get my students making music, even if it is at a very basic level, as quickly as possible. I usually see this happen within a couple of lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The hardest part about practicing is simply starting. Anything worth doing is worth dedicating time to. So, schedule the time, stick to that time, set goals and utilize video or audio recordings to monitor your progress.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are excited about the drums, they are ready!m I don't believe that any one is ever too young or too old to start learning an instrument. All you need is the passion to do it.
