I have played guitar professionally for 15 years, first in the Maryland/DC metro area and for the past 8 years in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. This includes several bands of my own creation that have toured the region as well as dozens of substitute stints filling in for rock, jazz, blues, and pop groups. In addition to bands, I also performed as a solo classical and jazz guitarist and have performed for politicians and celebrities in exclusive private events. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola

While keeping the fingers down and close to the fingerboard, the student may gradually build up the tempo using a variety of different bowings and rhythmic groupings. I strongly encourage students to balance their practice by studying scores, reading books and articles about music and other subjects, and attending concerts, master classes and lessons from their peers. I also strongly encourage the study and participation in orchestras and chamber ensembles. Read More

As a teacher, I always like to get to know my students so I can adapt my teaching to them. I believe that each student is different and progresses at his or her own pace.

I am always looking for ways to inspire my students because I believe that motivation is a key factor in the learning process. Read More

For those who are just starting on an instrument, I usually focus on basic technique. Bass and guitar are both physical instruments in their own way, and getting acclimated to the feel of it is key to having success on it.

I began playing guitar and singing a few years after that and then in 2016 I found a book of jazz standards that I discovered could be played on violin and fell in love again. Drums, violin and guitar are my favorite instruments to play now as well as singing, and I play bass and piano more casually. I am always exploring new instruments (I would like to learn trumpet when I decide to make some time to practice!) and gear such as loop pedals and electronic aids. Read More
