ABOUT

I'm a lifelong musician and teacher of music. I graduated from Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, with a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Music Education with a concentration in electric bass guitar. I have a vast array of teaching experience ranging from public school and private instruction for over 15 years.
As a musician I have played/sung both solo and as a part of jazz bands, rock bands and modern worship teams at many popular establishments and venues in New Jersey and NYC. As a songwriter and performer, I have an intimate knowledge of the struggles that new and experienced musicians face when trying to express themselves musically.
