About
I have been teaching guitar for over 25 years and love instructing students of all ages and levels, beginner through advanced. I have a lesson plan that I believe works best, however, details will vary depending on the preference and the needs of each student. In addition to guitar (which is my main instrument) I also teach electric bass, drums, piano and ukulele. I teach over 30 students per week and own an entertainment company and a band that performs at private events on most weekends. My band has been voted 'Best Live Band' by the readers of Westchester Magazine for the last 6 years and was featured on the cover of the 2019 Best Of Westchester issue. Please feel free to call, text or email me if you have any questions or you are interested in private music lessons.
UPDATE: I am currently teaching REMOTE MUSIC LESSONS online via the ZOOM app. This allows me to teach students located anywhere. If you have any questiions regarding online lessons... please don't hesitate to ask. -Thank you.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I like to begin by asking some basic questions to get a feel for how much the student already knows about music and then I will go over the physical parts of the guitar and I will also show the student the correct way to hold the instrument and demonstrate proper technique. Once the student is somewhat comfortable holding and sitting with the guitar - I will usually begin working in a method book unless the student and I decide on another strategy for learning.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching lessons occasionally when I was a teenager. I had a few friends who would ask me to teach them how to play guitar because they admired the way that I played the instrument.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with hundreds of students over the years of various ages and levels. From beginners to advanced musicians and students as young as 5 years old through the age of 75.
