    I have been an instructor at GC Selden since 2021. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started taking Piano lessons at 3 years old, and I began Violin at a young age as well. I’ve received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Education from Long Island University and Boston University, respectively. I’ve taught here at Guitar Center on Saturdays since 2021, and I work as a substitute music teacher for the Sachem School District during the week. I believe everyone should enjoy their time learning and playing music, so I encourage my students to share their musical goals and any songs they might be interested in learning. Some of my genre specialties include Classical, Pop, and Ragtime. I teach differently for each of my students, basing the content of our lessons on their strengths, areas of improvement, learning styles, and interests.
