Hello, I\'m Zach,

Do you want to create music? Improve your range of musical expression, rhythm, or sight reading? Do you want to learn to listen to sounds more deeply? or Widen your musical perspectives? Is your child interested in learning music?

My students have won prizes in competitions for national & regional ensembles and as soloists. Some have performed in major music venues throughout the world. Many have been accepted to public & ivy league universities and to conservatories throughout the United States.

I have over 16 years of combined experience as a composer, conductor, and guitarist/improvisor. I work often with children & professionals across the world and have myself received numerous awards & scholarships for my accomplishments & research.

I have a public certificate from the US/NJ school system to teach anything about music. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education (Pedagogy) with a double concentration in classical guitar performance from New Jersey City University, plus a Master of Music & a Meisterklasse (terminal) degree in Music Composition from Bowling Green State University & the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig.

Take a look at some of my courses & workshops below and send me a message with your interests.

Lessons can be held from your home (extra travel fee) or in my studio.
Courses are available to beginners (with the ability to read), intermediate, & professionals ages 6-99.

Please contact me for rates and available times.
WhatsApp is also ok!

I look forward to growing together with you.
