Me
I am a private music instructor located in Avondale, Pennsylvania (outside of Philadelphia). I mainly teach guitar and drums, and have been playing music for 21 years. I graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music with a degree in film scoring.
My Musical Direction
When I started at Berklee I wanted to learn composition, and film scoring was a good way to learn to compose in many styles, with the added benefit that you might actually be able to make a living at it. During the summers I did some teaching, and when I finished at Berklee I started teaching again part-time. Four months out of school I had enough students to do it full-time, and I continued to teach for several years. I've taken the last year off to concentrate on writing and form a band, but I am now getting back into teaching.
