My first venture into music began with the guitar lessons at the age of six under guidance of Frank Ferrara.

I attended Gotham Avenue Elementary School where I began instrumental music education. I began the baritone horn in the fourth grade.

After years of playing the baritone horn I had the opportunity in the tenth grade to take on the rusty piece of brass sitting in the back of the Elmont Memorial High School band room, the tuba.

The tuba allowed me to develop a greater appreciation of music which led me to study Music Education at Ithaca College.  I became a member of Dave Unland’s tuba studio.
 

I Graduated May 2010. I have since returned to Long Island to pursue a career in performing and teaching music. I joined the Senior Pops of Long Island in October 2010.
 
I have had an amazing experience rehearsing and performing with the Senior Pops Orchestra.
