Guitar Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

I tend to take a relaxed and fun approach to teaching music. I think it's imperative for any student, especially beginners, to be able to walk out of their first or second session with excitement and a song or two that they can play. Learning a new technique or new pattern is fun for me, but to see someone's eyes light up after finally hitting that note dead on is really rewarding for me. Read More

I teach music lessons that generate energy and excitement! After a lifetime of training myself and teaching others, I know what the key elements are to make you sound good in no time, without wasting years on lessons that get you nowhere.

It has been a rewarding experience for me as a teacher to see my students grow, and feel good about their accomplishments. Read More

During my studies at Schenectady County Community College, I served as a music tutor within the School of Music. I offered tutoring to fellow students in the subjects of music theory, ear training/sight singing, and keyboard techniques. My experience working as a music tutor has given me the opportunity to connect these studies with a student's lessons on their chosen instrument. When teaching music theory and ear training to those studying an instrument, I keep in mind how these concepts apply to their chosen instrument, and how this knowledge can always remain relevant.

I started playing guitar when I was 7, and music has been a huge part of my life ever since. I've performed countless shows in the New York/New Jersey area as well as many around Europe.

I took guitar lessons for years at School of Rock Montclair, and I also attended the Berklee School of Music Guitar Sessions Summer Program during the summers of 2015, 2016 and 2017, where I studied mainly blues guitar and music theory.

I use a variety of methods for my teaching style. I usually have a few method books that I bring to a first lesson, and after meeting the student I will decide on the best one. Once the student has progressed and shows some motivation to be slightly challenged, I'll introduce "popular" music so that the student feels a sense of accomplishment! Music is associated with movies, radio, etc., so to be able to play something recognizable is exciting for the student and the teacher. Read More
