Private Lessons & Coaches in Long Beach, NY

I hold a Bachelor's degree with a 3.7 GPA, not because math came naturally to me, but because I learned how to break it down for better understanding and recall on quizzes and exams. I specialize in Algebra, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus. My sessions start by figuring out your learning style and where you're struggling. From there, we'll break concepts down step-by-step and practice until they click, so you leave every session not just prepared but genuinely confident.

Berklee College of Music graduate, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist with 10+ years of experience. I teach beginners through intermediate players, focusing on the music students actually love—from rock and alternative to pop and blues. My lessons combine strong fundamentals, ear training, songwriting, and creativity to keep students engaged. As an active touring and recording musician, I help students build skills, confidence, and their own unique sound.

I am a teacher, director, playwright, lyricist and librettist. My work as a director and/or playwright has been seen on stages in New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Florida, California, and Utah. I teach acting, voice for actors, Shakespeare, directing, clowning, and voiceover. I have taught or directed students from ages 16 to 60. I also coach actors for auditions.

From concert halls, to student studios, my passion for guitar resonates in every lesson. With 15 years of experience and a background as a professional musician, I tailor instruction to ignite your musical journey. Let's unlock your guitar potential, one chord at a time.
