ME
I’m a professional bass player, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer with 30 years of music industry experience, currently residing in Pleasantville, NY.
I’ve been very fortunate to have made my living within the music industry. As a session bassist, I have recorded in a variety of contexts and toured the globe. As a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, I’ve made tons of music with talented artists and composed for TV/Film. As an educator, I’ve taught privately, spoken at industry events and acted as a music consultant for those looking to advance their careers. Lastly, as an entrepreneur, I founded MyMusicMasterclass.com, to help musicians follow their dreams and succeed in this modern world.
These days, my wife, 9 year-old son and I live outside of the city where, along with all my musical excursions, I teach music to adults and children. For a complete bio, please check out the “More About Me” page here.
Why I Teach & What I Teach
As a child, music really saved me. It gave me focus, an outlet for my creativity and angst, as well as the structured discipline needed to be able to accomplish almost anything life threw at me in later years. My musical journey has never stopped as I learn something new everyday, whether from practicing, experimenting or teaching (including my own 9-year-old child). I teach because I know how deep and important music can be. It can heal, it can evoke emotion, it can connect neural pathways and in some cases, it can be a career.
Currently I’m available for instrumental lessons on bass, guitar and ukulele. Along with that, I teach music production and recording/engineering techniques to help bring your music to life. Lastly, I offer music consultation services to help guide your musical journey and/or career. If you or your child are interested in taking this journey, I can help show you the way.
