Guitar is one of my top subjects! Can teach electric, acoustic, blues, rock, pop sty;es and some classical.

I have a very gentle and nurturing style of teaching. I NEVER scold or allow a student to feel bad about his/her work. I try to give an optimistic approach to each student and encourage their successes, and focus on improving their weaknesses. I leave parenting to the parents.
I have over 25 years experience teaching children & adults, including handicapped students, privately and in classroom settings.I am competent tutoring many scholastic areas including English, Math, Science, Art and social studies. As a student at Mass College of Liberal Arts, I was consistently on the Deans list with honors or high honors.I have been a music teacher since 1983,focusing on music theory, guitar & bass instruction, as well as songwriting and performance.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching experience includes English/language arts at the high school level in a suburban district, middle school in an urban district, private school and community college as an adjunct instructor. After having subsequently pursued an alternative career in financial services, I am currently operating as a sole proprietor and have continued my classroom instruction experience for the last three years teahing English as a second language to adult international students on a volunteer basis one evening a week. Since class size has been between three to ten students, I can individualize my approach.
I have always had a strong passion for learning, and nothing blesses me more in a classroom than seeing a student's eyes light up when the proverbial light bulb flashes on. My goal is to encourage a student to move from drudgery to delight in the learning process, and to instill confide ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received a technology degree in 1975. Several years later I returned to college to persue a Physics/Mechanical Engineering Degree from SUNY New Paltz and RPI. I was an "A" student in Physics and enjoyed tutoring many classmates. I was a guest lecturer several times at RPI. Due to work and family commitments I did not complete the degree. My wife and I homeschooled our children through the primary grades. I taught sciences. While an Employee at IBM, I wrote and taight technical courses. Physics is my forte and I love talking about and teaching the subject. I am especially helpfull to students challenged by word problems. Throughout college I would host study groups in Physics and Chemistry. I currently am a financial advisor.
Because I enjoy and see the wonder in science and I like to show that to students. If they see a reason to want the knowledge, and see how it can expan ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my undergraduate studies at the Crane School of Music I had the opportunity to perform numerous solo and ensemble recitals, participate in master classes with world renowned musicians, and complete in depth studies of music from variety of styles, and cultures. Additionally, I have been trained in all areas of basic musicianship, including theory, history, ear training, and composition. My extracurricular projects include playing in bands, band managing and promoting, and studio work. For the last two years I have taught guitar lessons in various styles. The accumulation of these experiences has left me with a deep understanding of music from the perspective of a performer, a composer, an educator, and a professional musician.
I believe that no one is too young, or old to learn something new, and my passion for music gives me the desire to share what I know with other people ... read more
