I began my teaching career at the Castellani-Andriaccio Guitar Studios in Buffalo in 2017.

The Guitar Initiative is a non-profit afterschool program that provides free guitar and music theory lessons to children who otherwise would not have access. In addition I'm a Suzuki certified instructor.   Over the past few years I've worked with many students of all ages and skill levels. Read More

I learned so much from my great teachers, I experienced being a student myself! I am learning all the time. As a student I learned a lot, so in turn I enjoy teaching what I have learned.  Read More

In the summer of 2014, I moved to Boston, released a solo album, and formed GEPH with fellow Stickist John Tyler Kent and drummer Josh Merhar, where the three of us immediately began making waves, releasing a debut album in March of 2016. Riding the success of our first album, GEPH managed to fundraise nearly $10,000 to record and mix our upcoming album. This year, we've gone on a big regional tour with Philly based friends In The Presence of Wolves (opened for acts like Alice in Chains, Ghost and Stone Temple Pilots), released our album to widespread acclaim in July of 2018, and have been flown across the country to perform in progressive rock festivals.

I also hold an MA in Spanish language from Middlebury College where I was very active in playing live music for the co-curricular dance program, poetry nights, and studied the intersection of music and linguistics.

As students progress into the intermediate range, we will start to train our ears with listening exercises, and we will also dive in to more difficult material. Read More
