About
I have been teaching for over 40 years since I was 18 years old . I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music Degree . I have also been playing in bands or as a solo artist around the North Shore and northern New England for over 40 years . I received many awards while attending Berklee and graduated with high honors: Magna Cum Laude .
I find teaching very gratifying , it also keeps me on my toes with music theory and the basics . Students often challenge me to learn parts and songs that I wouldn't have without their requests . I have some original songs on utube and there's a local cable TV show up there that's pretty good , Local Music Seen , with Allen Estes .
