About
Watching your progression is why we teach. We want you to enjoy and share your results. We are available 7 days a week 9AM until 9PM and will return your call within 1 hour. As my team's leader, I am a professionally licensed educator and know how to work with all ages and ability levels of students. We offer guitar, bass, piano, and ukelele lessons. Our teachers have performed in several venues throughout the Tri-State area as a blues bass player, acoustic guitarist, singer-songwriter and have appeared on many recordings.
We enjoy watching our students grow into proficient players. We host events where students get the opportunity to perform in front of live audiences. Once a month, we enjoy broadcasting via Youtube or Facebook live-- live performances, which allow students to share their hard work with friends and family.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, we watch and listen to the student play the instrument. Then, we ask questions about their level of music theory and offer an online quiz to get an understanding of what they want from lessons. We will share documents online, as well as instructional videos we find to be helpful, depending on the ability level of our students. We examine, synthesize your playing, and then critique your playing to determine next steps.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Several years of experience as a student of Jazz Bass, piano, and guitar, and hold a professional teaching license (M.Ed. Education) in both NJ and PA, which gives me the knowledge and tools to communicate effectively to my students, regardless of their age or ability.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
30$ for 30-minute lessons. Prorated if more time is requested.
How did you get started teaching?
I began working with youth in a summer camp while still in college. I entered teaching immediately upon graduation as a substitute and landed a permanent position two years later. I enjoyed the uniqueness of one on one teaching music offers.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all ages and abilities. I have worked with students from all background and have experience with diverse communities.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Chris's Jazz House recently has been holding a benefit for their employees as they have been closed during Covid19 and unable to pay them. Watching the professionals play for free, donating their time, and showcasing their abilities to take care of others is what music is all about.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the teacher is dedicated to your learning and available to you to answer questions.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is your goal as a player? What types of music would you like to play?
