About
My Guitar Studio has been serving the community since the 1980's, offering quality music instruction to children, adults and seniors who want to explore the world of music through the guitar.
My goal has been to give students a solid foundation on the instrument so they can develop the versatility needed to play whatever style of music they wish. Areas of concentration available are rock, pop, blues, jazz, folk and classical guitar. Students can learn how to read music (and/or tab), understand theory, improvise, expand their chord vocabulary, develop their strumming, strengthen their sense of rhythm, improve their technique, and learn songs they want to play.
Lessons are available in person at my Brooklyn, NY studio or online via Skype, Zoom or FaceTime. Beginner and intermediate students welcome. Lessons can be 30, 45, and 60-minutes.
The best part of teaching someone how to play an instrument is being able to show them the different pathways to achieving their creative goals and hopefully inspire them along the way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If someone is just starting I want to know what kind of music they like and why they want to learn the guitar. With students who already play I ask them about their background in music and what it is that they feel they would like to improve on or add to their playing. Knowing these things will help me move forward and come up with an effective lesson plan.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in guitar and am currently in grad school for music technology. Aside from that, I have been teaching for over thirty years and am on the faculty of three schools. As a lifelong musician and teacher I have always felt that my education is ongoing.
