I hold a Bachelor’s of Music in Jazz Studies Degree from Western Connecticut State University. I’ve been producing, performing, and teaching music to people of all ages for over 10 years. In addition to teaching, I regularly perform, write, record, produce, and mix various music projects of my own and for other artists and clients. I’m deeply passionate about music and creating, and I love to share the joy and knowledge of how to express oneself musically with my students. My classroom is lively, lighthearted, and upbeat. You can expect lots of encouragement while I give feedback and pointers to improve. I aim to cultivate your creativity, stretch your musicality, and hone in on what sparks your musical curiosity. I love to to laugh with my wife. I love to be with my family and the friends who may as well be family. I love to create, whether in the form of music, writing, drawing, or painting.
