Guitar Center Selden 201 Independence Plaza Selden, NY
I have been a GC instructor since 2017. I'm a professional musician and composer who has over 19 years of experience. ​My instruments of expertise are guitar, bass, banjo, and ukulele. My goal is to allow my students to find the same joy that I found through playing instruments and writing music. I teach songwriting, and I tutor music theory as well. ​My genres of expertise include Rock, Pop, Jazz, Metal, and Country. My favorite genres, however, are Progressive Metal and Jazz. I have been teaching music for a little over eight years. With 60-70 lessons a week, often the most in the district, I have gained a lot of experience.​ I also implement a notation software known as "Guitar Pro," in my lessons, to help students keep track of their progress and to ease them into metronome work.​

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
