About
I provide professional, private music lessons with a personalized, individual approach. I have a patient, supportive attitude to help encourage a passion for learning music. I recieved my musical education at Berklee College of Music 1978-82, and by performing throughout New England playing jazz, blues, rock, country, classical and more for over 40 years. I have taught over 600 students over the last 30 years teaching children and adults in Southern NH. Many of my students have remained with me for years. I am the author of "The Piano Guide Book," a method for adult beginners, and "The Eye & Ear Book for Guitar."
I enjoy playing music and seeing the joy in my students as they improve their abilities on their instrument. I especially like it when a student has that look on their faces of excitement when they first "get" how to do something or understand something!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I find out what level the student is currently at, and what musical direction/style the student wants to learn. The first lesson gives the student an idea of my teaching style, and then they can be sure if the student and my teaching approach is a good fit.
