My Credentials

I am a career music teacher: I majored in Music Theory in college and I have been teaching ever since because it is my passion.  In 1996, I graduated from Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University.  I first started teaching music lessons out of my car by going into students homes.  After I got enough students, I taught for local music stores in my area of the far west suburbs of Chicago.  During that time, I did a stint as the Music Theory chairman of the Illinois State Music Teacher Association's Achievement in Music (AIM) exams.  After that, I opened my own commercial space in Naperville that I held onto for 13 years.  During that time, I wrote a guitar method, authored hundreds of sheet music arrangements for guitar and piano, and taught recorded hundreds of students.  I have now closed that studio and teach from home and at various tutoring centers.
