Music is my life, and is something that I want to share with others! Because of that, I try my best to give positive experiences to all of my students. I have a byline that says "Music is Much More than Just Learning Notes." I believe that! Anyone can learn notes, fingerings, etc. What I try to do is add that "soul" element that each person has and cultivate that into meaningful music!

So, with all that said, here's what I try to instill:

A lesson is a place to share! I listen to students as well as teach. We all have something we can learn from each other!
While I want lessons to be fun and informative, I strive for complete understanding, which means any student will gain the needed mechanics with complete knowledge of why things happen and what they do to and for music. From there, I attempt to teach the "soul" of music and how emotion and spirit play a huge part in memorable music.
I don't believe in brow-beating, but I also don't want to pass...

I am a member of MENC (The National Association for Music Education) and Sigma Alpha Iota (Professional International Music Fraternity for Women). In addition to music, I love animals.

Hi! My name is Nick R. I'm Originally from California where I studied music composition at UC Berkeley. While there I co-founded the Undergraduate Composers at Berkeley and was also the section leader of 26 piccolos in the California Marching Band.

I have taught elementary through junior high (including choir, band, orchestra, and percussion ensemble) as well as private lessons from kindergarten to senior citizens. I teach oboe, bassoon, clarinet, flute, saxophone, and piano.

My teaching style is based in positive reinforcement with great expectations. I believe in giving constructive criticism without degrading or demeaning the student's character; A student can be built up without being torn down.

I believe that theory is fundamental to understanding music. I expect students to participate actively with questions and thoughtful answers as well as to be prepared with the necessary materials required for learning.

My goal is to nurture a greater...

Gregg has been involved in music for almost his entire life. He began with the saxophone in middle school, where he took lessons and played in the school band, orchestra, and jazz band. He was interested in many other instruments at the time; piano and clarinet lessons shortly followed, but he did not develop his skills on guitar until much later. In seventh and eighth grade, Gregg was accepted into the Region II Intermediate Band, an intercollegiate ensemble for middle school students, where he performed tenor saxophone both years.

In high school, Gregg participated in the freshman Concert Band (tenor sax), Symphonic Band (tenor sax sophomore year, bassoon senior year), Wind Ensemble (tenor sax junior and senior years), and the Marching Band (tenor sax freshman and junior years, baritone sax sophomore year). He also took the music theory courses offered at the time, with prefect grades in both of them.

While at Muhlenberg College (where he completed his B.A. degree),...
