    Introduction

    Hi and Welcome to My Page! I have been teaching music for 16 years and really enjoy my job. I started on drums when I was 8, picked up piano at 10, then guitar at 13. I have performed professionally and have a wealth of experience in the music industry.

    My Teaching Background
    I am a Musician of 26 years. I spent 10 years preceding my first job as a Music Teacher playing professionally in and around the Tri State area. I have been teaching privately now for 15 years. I also possess a degree in Jazz Studies. I also love Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, and many other styles.

    I also played shows opening mainly for rock bands including: Gregg Ginn, Firehose, The Verve, Beck, Juliana Hatfield Trio, and The Smashing Pumpkins. After playing professionally for many years, I found my real passion was teaching and de-mystifying music for those who want to know how things "fit together" in music.

    I generally teach adults and children starting at age 7 and up (you're never too old). Sometimes an age exception can be granted depending on the childs temperament.

    Over the years I have developed a structured curriculum I feel that ensures an easy, powerful, and steady way into understanding the musical system and its componentry. This new understanding not only helps the student want to practice more, but empowers them to explore the musical landscape with confidence.

    Levels Taught: Beginner to Advanced

    My Teaching Philosophy

    Seeing that statistically 80% of people learn by association, I also make good use of colored diagrams and other props to ensure comprehension. I try and stay away from "cookie cutter" approaches as they don't take into consideration dispositions in learning students may have. I will tailor each students lesson time/curriculum to their own goals.
