I have performed on and taught acoustic guitar for nearly 20 years.

I know hundreds of songs so I can always find songs which make beginners into players quickly.

I love soloing. I have several unique techniques I share with more advanced students to enable them to become stronger guitar players and overall musicians.

Berklee College of Music alumnus, touring musician, and former Music Director of a school in Brooklyn here to help you learn to develop your artistic voice in a fun, creative, and energetic class! My classes are not just classes on music and technique. I offer a musical mentorship. I strive to develop you or your loved one in every facet artistically and musically. I will fine-tune your musical ear, refine your artistic sensibilities. I want to inspire you! Ultimately I want to help mold an artist, not just teach you music. I provide the means and the tools to take the steps towards developing your art.

The thing that makes guitar lessons with me unique is my understanding both as a musician who has learned by ear as well as one who has been professionally trained to read music and understand the theory behind it. Most importantly, I've been teaching for 11 years, and I understand exactly how to get results for you fast.

With over 10 years of musical experience in acoustic/electric guitar and bass guitar I work with your level of experience and help pinpoint areas that need more work and adjust the material accordingly while providing a balanced learning experience without overloading.

Want to play your favorite songs? Interested in learning to write and record your own music? I will help you build a solid foundation of music theory and technique while tailoring to your personal tastes and goals. Part of my lesson plan involves me recording, mixing and producing a song that you eventually compose. Shoot me a message to see if we're a good match!

Playing guitar comes easy like drinking water for me. I quit the corporate world to fully commit to my passion of music where I produce, record, mix, master and practice every day. Performing every week, I don't just play guitar. I also play piano, sing, write songs and I know how to use industry-standard music software. I not only am knowledgeable and proficient in many styles, but I also listen to and enjoy all genres. I can show you that music is for everybody, whether you are a professional artist, or just want some therapy, this is a healing component of life, so it's nothing for me to open this world for anyone that wants to learn. There are no egos attached with me, so I'm here to help with any way and be open-minded. Teaching is also a learning experience, so learning how to open the Muse to people I am wholly grateful for. I am not a BSer. This is what I do everyday. I don't mess around with my craft.
