West Islip, NY Guitar Lessons

I have a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar Performance from SUNY New Paltz, so you might say I know my way around the fret board.

I will teach you to sing and play your favorite songs and write your own!

I picked up the guitar over ten years ago to accompany myself while I sang. Having developed some skills, I can now offer my students the basics of guitar so that, in a pressure-free and supportive environment, they can truly get going. Once my students are comfortable playing chord progressions, simple songs, simple rhythmic patterns, and fingerpicking styles, I offer techniques so they can learn even more material at home. If a student outgrows me and wants to move into advanced classical guitar performance or jazz guitar, I refer them to one of my very good professional guitarist friends. It's all about the journey.

I am versitile in a variety of styles of guitar from rock, metal and pop to classical. Additionally I have experience teaching Suzuki method.

I possess more than 10 years of progressive experience in music education. My professional history includes positions such as president/instructor at Rockville Centre Music as well as classical guitar instructor at Long Island Conservatory.
Most recently, my responsibilities as owner at Rockville Centre Music match the qualifications you are seeking. As the Owner, my responsibilities included preparing schedules, creating lesson plans, and working with special needs children.

During lessons you can expect each subject to be explained so that you understand its musical relevance to your playing.

Hola 👋🏻, siendo guitarrista de estudio, llevo alrededor de 13 años practicando el noble arte de tocar la guitarra sin dejar de aprender cosas nuevas cada día.

Siempre me ha dado la impresión de que en la mayoría de libros/métodos para aprender omiten cierta información que es realmente clave, además de que no suelen enseñar un material práctico y de una forma entretenida, por eso la decisión de ayudar con este enfoque.

Actualmente tengo varias ocupaciones que me mantienen entretenido: instructor, producir mi disco personal, seguir creando cursos, me encanta esta vida, con tiempo para estudiar, armar proyectos nuevos, por ese motivo tome la decisión de que era el momento de compartir lo aprendido.

I am a professional guitarist with international touring experience, endorsements, and qualifications in theory and composition. I have been teaching private lessons to students aged 8 to 65 for several years. Tailoring the lessons to reach the your goals, we can explore areas such as learning your favorite songs, writing your own, while forming a solid basis of musical knowledge, and the tools you will need to grow into a capable and fluent musician.

From my experiences in independent bands, I can also offer consultations and advice on soliciting endorsements, creating press kits, writing press releases, and other ways to promote your album.
