Private LessonsIn addition to my role as High School Band Teacher, I also offer private music lessons to students in the Greene and Ulster County areas looking to advance their musical abilities. These lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels with interest in both classical and jazz playing and are an excellent way to prepare for the NYSSMA solo festival. Please take a moment to review the information below and get in touch with me if you would like to be taken on as a private student. My contact info can be found above at the top of this webpage.

About MeI received my Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Ithaca College where I studied saxophone under Dr. Steven Mauk. Soon after, I received my Masters of Science in Music Education from Western Connecticut State University where I was then hired by the Greenville Central School District to teach High School Band, Jazz Band, and Music Theory. Throughout my music career, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of students, teaching beginning lessons at the Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca, NY, working closely with the National Class marching band from Arlington High School in LaGrangeville, NY during my student teaching, and directing a high school saxophone quartet as part of the Aerophone Community Band in Wappingers Falls, NY. Currently, I reside in Saugerties, NY with my wife and cats, performing as the alto/tenor saxophone player in the Albany based group Downtown Horns as well as conduct the Saugerties Community Band. I also periodically upload instrumental covers of popular songs and video game soundtracks on my YouTube Channel.
