Guitar with Norm D.

Apart from performing and composing, Norm takes enormous pride in his ability to teach music He studied at the University of Colorado in Denver and Berklee College of Music in Boston, and graduated from Mercy College with a BS in Music. He also has a Performing Artists Diploma from the Westchester Conservatory. These qualifications, combined with his love and passion for music, make him a truly qualified instructor for anyone looking to enjoy music as a hobby or make it a career. My goal is to teach in a relaxed environment with the emphasis on the enjoyment of learning, so that the student will look forward to practicing. I gear my lessons to the student's interests in music, and try to provide a lesson plan that will lead them successfully to their goals. Whether you learn one song or one hundred, my goal is to nurture a life-long love of music so that you will always want to pick up the guitar and play. *** Lesson Details *** My goal is to teach in a relaxed environment with the emphasis on the enjoyment of learning, so that the student will look forward to practicing.
