►INFORMATION ABOUT ME

‣I am a New York City musician and music teacher.

‣I teach people of all ages (it is never too late to learn), and all abilities (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). I play and teach all styles of diatonic and chromatic harmonica: specializing in Irish melodies and Chicago Blues technique.
‣I have musically mentored many kids. I have vast experience teaching children age 5 and older.

‣Some of my favorite blues harp players are: Little Walter, William Clarke, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, John Popper, and Bob Dylan. We can study the blues licks and the harmonica styles of any of these great artists.

‣I can help you write and play your own harmonica solos.
