Whatever your goals — sing in a choir, perform at an open mic, write your own songs, play with your kids, play with your friends — I can help.

Whether you’re an experienced musician or feel as if you “can’t hit a note,” you’re a musical being. We are all students of music just by being alive, and there is always more to discover at every level of musical ability and experience, beginner or master.
If you live near Northampton, MA, or anywhere in the Pioneer Valley, there are lots of local options for performing and collaborating. This snippet of video was shot at a Beatles show at J.J’s Tavern in Florence. (We also offer Rock Band Birthday Parties — a lot of fun for everyone!)

What do you want to learn?
Victor Wooten, a world-class musician and music educator, said that “A language works best when we have something interesting to say. Many music teachers never find out what their students have to say. We only tell them what they are supposed to say.” I want to find out what you have to say!
Update, 2024:
For the time being, I have transitioned away from studio teaching. Thank you so much for your interest. I wish you all the best in your musical journey!

Credentials & experience
