About
As a teaching artist for many years, I have worked with countless numbers of individuals, all ages, many of them level one students. The one constant over the years is how different everyone's needs are. I learn from my students how to keep my approach to teaching flexible and fresh. The give-and-take that can occur between student and instructor is dynamic and exciting!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What goals do you have for your music and your instrumental learning? I have learning methods that will help you focus your goals and make them attainable. I use traditional and standard song repertoire to help students learn technique, rhythm, tempo, melody, harmony and chords.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My training began at 3rd grade in a local neighborhood music store in Charlotte, NC with a private teacher, a pair of drum sticks and a snare drum. From there it was junior high school chorus classes, private banjo lessons from a local working musician, bluegrass jams and festivals, high shcool musicals as a pit player, professional gigs on guitar, and then two years at Berklee College of Music in Boston. A West Coast stint followed with lots of music gigs, a truck driving job, a teacher aid position at a private elementary school, and then a return to the East Coast. Since then, lots of teaching in the NYC Metro region, lots of recording and touring, sideman work and leading my own projects. Always taking students and loving it. It is a priveledge and a pleasure to teach and share with musical aspirants.
