About Joseph S.
Hello! So you want to be a better musician... that's awesome! Music has brightened my life in so many ways. I am so grateful for the teachers I have had, so happy I chose to be a musician, and so eager to help you on your way.
I started piano lessons when my dad forced me to, years ago... and, it stuck! Through diligent practice, in high school I won first place for my state in Music Teachers National Association competition. I studied with Andrey Ponochevney, George Lopez and Sima Kustanovich, and went on after college work as a classroom music teacher and freelance musician.
There are many directions to take in music, and I have explored quite a few:
Freelance jazz musician, playing at restaurants, receptions and special events
Teacher of music theory in the classroom
Choir director, middle school and high school
Church music director
I also play accordion and harmonica in an Irish Folk band... see, the possibilities are endless!
I love getting to know the varied abilities of each of my students, whether they are just starting out or whether they are working on polishing Prokofiev sonatas. I hope to work with you, too! Contact me and let me help you achieve your musical goals
