From his studio in Pennsylvania, private lessons for students of all ages and levels are offered in piano, tenor and 5-string banjo (bluegrass, melodic, classic and claw- hammer), guitar, mandolin, ukulele, composition and theory. Lessons are designed to help the student understand music, improve technique and expand repertoire. Teaching strategies are tailored to the individual’s goals and level of musical experience. His teaching philosophy is to focus on helping the individual pursue his/her musical goals. Music can be a very private passion or for public display. Some want to know why music does certain things and goes certain ways while others want just to play for their own enjoyment. Whether notating by hand or computer, composing music provides a way to express and release thoughts and feelings that can be otherwise difficult to convey. Music enriches lives.
