About Paul

I not only teach students how to play songs but show them effective techniques to make their pracitcing efficient so they can learn skills, build a knowledge base, create a repertoire, and provide opportuities to develop their musical creativity.

I love helping music travelers along their journey of self discovery. Students, no matter the age, learn better when they are encouraged to uncover uses for skills and knowledge they have been taught. I enjoy making each student's lesson unique to them and their interests. I create indiviualized material (songs, exercises, etc.) specifically for their skill and repertoire building needs.

My education and training comes from my diverse experiences from performing for and learning from: Universities, The United States Army Band Field, highly respected and successful guitarists (James Chirillo of Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra directed by Wynton Marsalis, Dave Newsam of UNH and Berkley College of Music, and 1st Sergeant Robert Rucker of the Jazz Ambassadors), and participating in and attending many guitar clinics and workshops.

I am skillful at planning, preparing, and overseeing performances. I work with students to not only prepare for performances, but to help them develop self-regulation and deliberate practice skills that enable them to become independent learners.

I arrange and compose music for both guitar ensembles and solo guitar, so that specific skills are addressed and applied as they are learned.

I am skilled at performing in ensembles such as, Jazz and Stage bands, Rock, Country, and Jazz combos or groups, and as a solo guitarist.

In addition to performing and educating, I am experienced with the music notation program Finale, and am competent working with Cubase and Pro-Tools recording software which I use for composing, as well as, creating music for skill development and knowledge.

About the lesson

The first step with working with a new student is to inventory their playing (chords, scales, songs, ect.).

Once I have a good picture as to their skill level, I find out what their goals are (professional, semi-professional, camp fire playing, personal enjoyment).

Based on our discussion, I get the student playing asap with chords and strumming suitible to their ability.

Paul is an amazing guitar teacher! My 13 years old son absolutely adore him! Actually , I am surprised because my son now loves to practice and can’t wait for a new lesson with Paul. Paul is teaching my son from July 2020, and my boy already playing many song. I can’t believe it because in a so short time , my son learns how to play guitar and now he is able to play guitar and sing his favorite songs.
We are so happy that we had found Paul. He is literally the best! Highly professional, patient and great with the kids!

Paul is exceptional in working with people of all ages and skills. His patience, knowledge and ability to communicate on the level of the individual student is what sets him apart and above other instructors in my experience.

He is a great teacher! I just recently started learning the guitar later in life with no music experience. He takes the time to teach & go through each step with you to help you understand. Definitely makes it easier!
