About

I am a lifelong musician with a passion for live music. In addition to performing with various music acts, I've been teaching Beginner Guitar courses for adults through the Stamford Public School system, and I'm starting a teaching job in March 2019 for children with the Norwalk Recreation & Parks Department. I'm also a live music performance coach working with singers, and I'm a drum circle facilitator as well. Please visit my website for more details at: raysimonelli.com

My joy in life is in helping people get started on their music journeys. I love watching the progression of the improvement in students over time.

Once getting beyond the basics. I let my students drive the song learning process based on their song preferances. I'm very patient, and I teach at each student's own personal pace.

I've been playing music my whole life, and I've been doing it professonally for about 15 years. "On the job training" you might say. I retired early from the cofporate world (I was in banking) and I'm happy to be able share my playing experience with others.
