About
I have spent the past several years performing around the world on board various cruise ships for Princess, Celebrity, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Originally from Long Island, New York, I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where I lived until 2011. In June of 2015, I earned my Master of Music degree in jazz studies from Portland State University.
I cater to what my student's interests are and am happy to take suggestions for material they'd like to learn in lessons. At the same time, I feel it's my responsibility to draw from my background as a music professional and show the student material they may be unaware of.
I enjoy seeing my students make progress, develop a skill set and a feeling of accomplishment. I love it when my students tell me about playing in a band or going to a jam session. It shows me they are passionate about music and taking initiative to go to the next level, from individual practice to playing with others.
