I love music because it brings joy and comfort to everyone it touches. Studies in the Arts increase productivity across all other areas and promotes teamwork and a sense of community. Most of all I love teaching music because no matter who you are, where you are from, or what your skill level you can participate and make music apart of your life

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I want to know what excites them about music, and use that as a catalyst to introduce the fundamentals of music and bass technique. The key is to make learning fun and instantly useful!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a professional musician since the age of 15- my mom had to drive me to all of my gigs on the weekends and sneak me into the back door! I have performed extensively in NYC, and have traveled the world performing in a show band for Princess Cruises for the past 11 years for more than half a million people per year! I have an MM from SUNY Purchase and a BM from Th Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York
