I love the fact that we can share what we know and pass it on to others so that they may also express art through their own voices. My playing was definitely shaped by a few teachers that made me see things in a different way.

Charles Banacos (a legendary teacher from Boston) taught me a lot in three years.... it took me a while to absorb all the information that I had learned. During my years at Berklee I also had some great teachers that greatly influenced me. With time, the practical experience along with the application of what I had learned became a tool for my artistic expression.

An important part of the process of learning music comes from observing and analyzing what other artists have done .There are so many avenues in music for us to learn and draw ideas from… Here’s a list of some important CDs for you to listen to.
