Instruments: Trumpet
I emphasize meeting the student where they are. Teaching is not a one-size-fits-all kind of deal and your lessons will be custom tailored to fit your goals and learning style. I start by taking into account the student’s interests and often arrange and write the music that interests them. For more skilled instrumentalists, I will work with you to establish a practice routine to emphasize my “fundamentals-forward” approach in order to help you succeed in all your endeavors. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion
I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
While I understand that fundamentals are necessary and the need to learn and study the "how" and "why" of music is incredibly important, there is absolutely a place for popular music. I strive to create a fun and captivating setting for students that includes making connections between standard repertoire and modern popular music. Once I understand a students wants or needs I will be able to adjust my curriculum to better fit the specific needs of that student. Read More

I am currently employed in East County as the choral and band director for an incredible middle school. Before that I was the director of music, bands, choirs, and performing arts in Harrison, New Jersey, right outside New York City. I have a Bachelor of Music and Theatre Arts from New Jersey City University where I also performed as a graduate student enrolled in Music Education with a concentration in French Horn Studies.My pedagogy in both instrumental and vocal studies has allowed me to bring a unique and diverse perspective in the both vocal and instrumental ensembles.

My focus with each student is to tune into them in a way that I can then assess their physical, mental and emotional abilities. I ask each student what they want to learn with their instrument. If they do not know, we then start with the basics to establish a solid foundation in music with their instrument. Along the way, I ask the student what kind of music they like. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Guitar demands good technique, especially in the left hand (for right handed players). Getting used to playing clean chords and changing chords cleanly, as well as playing clean scales and melodic lines, certainly takes a good deal of patience at first. The good news is it rewards faithful practice in spades and is eventually like riding a bike.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
The student that I am most proud of to this day was a young lad named who started drums with me at the age of 4. After 6 months, he performed in a recital playing a whole popular song start to finish using grooves we worked on together, as well as fills of his own inspiration. He had such a serious, and determined look, taking full ownership in his performance, and I could not have been more proud.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
For my college senior recital I got to compose an hour-long classical concert which was performed by over 100 of my friends, professors, and classmates from the previous 4 years. One piece was performed by an extremely gifted professional violinist who occasionally played with our orchestra, and it left the packed house and me completely speechless.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love guitar because you can sing and play songs with it, take it anywhere, and experience a rich repertoire in almost any genre. It’s lyrical, rhythmic, plays well with others, and serves as an excellent writing and composing instrument.
When will I start to see results?
I believe you improve every time you practice well, so results are just 30 minutes away. When you practice well multiple times a week, you’re putting yourself into the dangerously fulfilling position to improve all the time. But take a week, a month, a year off, and you’ll need to work your skills back up.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher was Brady, a talented drummer, bassist, and guitarist in the marching band, jazz, and funk genres. He was patient, exposed me to new styles, and gave me the fundamentals I needed and still use to improve myself.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have seen 4 year olds have a blast and learn new skills as well as 10 year olds who seem to dread everything about lessons and practicing. At any age, if someone has a joy of learning and motivation to improve at their instrument, they have what it takes to have a successful lesson experience.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go slow, as slow as you must to play the section confidently. After three flawless takes in a row, then and only then should you increase your speed, and repeat. Now you can be confident you are actually training your mind and your muscles to get better and not teaching them to play poorly.
