Learn Music University

I am a professional guitarist, educator, songwriter, and recording artist. I graduated from Rowan University with a Bachelor of Music, specifically Classical and Jazz Guitar and a Master of Music/Performance, with a concentration in Jazz Studies. Students can expect to improve their skills week to week in their guitar studies. I believe every student has the potential to reach their desired goals. I teach students to study and apply foundational techniques to unlock their own individual sound. I can help any student to perform with freedom, confidence, and expression. I teach guitar students of all different ages and experience levels. I can teach students to read music and pursue classical excellence, to learn how to play contemporary music using lead sheets and sheet music, or both depending on the goals and preference of the student. As a professional performing/recording artist I toured up and down the East Coast and Nashville for co-writing, recording, and meeting with record labels. I currently serve as Adjunct Professor of Music/Subject Matter Expert for Liberty University Online. Alongside that role, I have served as Worship Leader/Sound Director/Worship Team Coach for multiple churches. I currently run a Private Lesson Studio and Music Technology Consultant channel to help those in the education system. Prior to Liberty, I worked as a Music Educator over 21 years for Washington Township Public Schools where I won a Grammy, for an Outstanding Music Education Program-A Grammy Signature School. During that time, I developed, designed, and taught curriculum for Music Technology, Music Theory, Guitar Classes/Ensembles and Jazz Ensembles. I perform regularly as first call pit musician for many professional and local theaters. I have been a part of production for many recordings as a freelance studio engineer and a composer. I enjoy mentoring students who want to become effective, dynamic performers/songwriters. My personal passion is Classical and Jazz Guitar, but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your hopes and dreams of becoming a better musician!
