About
I have been teaching since 1985. I teach all levels, all styles. I work well with children, currently at Pelham Music and Art and The Music Complex both in southern westchester. I have a B.A. in percussion performance from Manhattan School of Music Private studies with Sonny Igoe. Some of my accomplishments include Magic Show and Godspell on Broadway 1976-1978, World Tours Samantha Sang with The Bee Gees. In 1985 began working with Howard Stern and I am still performing, recording, and teaching.
Teaching is my passion because I love seeing students land gigs with bands, touring, recording and teaching.
