About Me

I have around 35 years of experience teaching, coaching and performing in various capacities. I have played with big bands, wind ensembles, orchestras and pit orchestras for musicals throughout the NYC area.

I have also played with various cover bands in night clubs, casinos, cruise ships as well as for weddings, music festivals and various corporate events.

During my time as a musician, I have helped many students achieve various goals. But the most important for me is increasing the love that they already had for music.

Beginners will learn the basics of the trombone and become motivated to learn more through learning how to play simple music and music they are passionate about. I have a lot of experience helping junior high school and high school students with the music they are learning for school ensembles and helping them reach the next level in their playing through range expansion, scale and articulation exercises, flow studies and so on. I also love preparing students for university and orchestral auditions.
