Hello. My name is Michael and I have been passionate about music since I was a very young. When I became a teenager I started taking guitar lessons and as soon as I could play a few chords, I joined a heavy metal band. I spent endless hours honing my craft to play fast and tight with other members. I have recorded original music several times. I still enjoy playing heavy music to this day but now I have expanded my interests to blues,folk, and acoustic variations. I still perform weekly in various bands. I have been playing for over twenty years and have over four years of teaching experience for beginner and intermediate level guitar students of all ages.
I look forward to teaching you!!

I am a therapeutic music specialist---and I love it! I work mainly with children with special needs, but find that teaching typically developing children is not so different. I treat the educative setting much like the therapy setting, fostering an atmosphere of creativity, support, and fun. I love music just as much as any student! In fact, I still take piano and voice lessons myself! As a teacher, I want to be there with you to have a good time, to tell you what you want to know, and to help you settle comfortably into your own musicality. You have something unique to offer, and that's really my job--to find out what that is!

Student who takes lessons with me has a chance to expand his knowledge by learn necessary technique and elements of music which I have studied in college. I am glad and willing to share my knowledge of music as well as research different genres and styles of music.

I've been teaching full time in NYC public schools for over 8 years now. I've also been teaching privately for over 14 years! I personalize my lessons for every student, depending on their interests and ability levels. I offer a truly custom music education, and am able to cater to your learning style as well. Having a Bachelors in Music Education from Manhattanville College and Masters of Arts in Teaching from Lehman College, you can be assured that you are working with a qualified teacher!
I am also currently playing in a top notch cover band, playing all over the tri-state area, as well as an original music bad. Feel free to come and check it out!

I've made my career as a performing musician and teacher for many years. I've enjoyed touring the Northeast U.S. and also the U.K. What fun it's been meeting different people and experiencing their love of music! My band specializes in rock, blues, and originals, too. There's even a little jazz influence, coming from my years of private study, most recently with Ms. Leni Stern, an extraordinary professor of music at NYU. I love to keep an open mind with my students regarding playing styles and approaches to learning, and I'll encourage you to do the same! Individuality is your number one asset, I want to help you become the best you can be.

Hi! My name is Allison and I'm an opera singer. I fell madly in love with music and singing as a young child and was bitten by the opera bug at age 15. Ever since seeing that first opera, I've never looked back. I did lead roles in my high school musicals, then got my Bachelor of Music and my Master of Music degrees in Classical Voice and Opera Performance both from competitive conservatories. Ever since graduation, I've been lucky enough to make my work as a professional singer. I've traveled all over the country and even internationally bringing this amazing art form to audiences. Now I feel like my dream has come true because I get to do what I love: sing! Pavarotti said, "I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent and this is what I have devoted my life to." I feel so lucky to have a life in music and now I want to share everything I've learned with you.

I have been singing and acting almost since I could walk. Born and

earned a bachelor's degree in Musical Theater with a minor in Acting
from The University of Northern Colorado. I now live in Bayonne, New
Jersey with my wife of nearly seven years, where I continue to work as
a professional actor and singer. In my professional career as a
performer, I have performed in such projects as the Broadway production
of "Brooklyn the Musical", several Off-Broadway projects including
"Sessions" (original cast), and several productions of musicals around
the country. I have performed with such broadway names as Eden
Espinosa, Ann Crumb, Robert Cuccioli, John McDaniel and Hugh Panaro. I
also continue my work as the lead singer and keys for "Rock Road", one
of New Jersey's best rock and roll cover bands. I have a wide variety
