For me music is all about connecting with other people and subsequently I believe teaching is very important. Whether you’re trying to pursue a professional career in music or just want to learn your favorite songs and have music in your life I can offer techniques, concepts, examples, etc. that will yield results quickly and help get you to where you want to be musically. I have experience in many different styles including Rock, Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Metal, and Funk.

I currently work as a freelance musician in the Los Angeles area and I play in several different bands. I’ve also had the opportunity to perform with some incredible artists including Paula Cole, John Easdale (singer of Dramarama), Ben E. King, and Krayzie Bone (Bone Thugz N’ Harmony).
Depending on the student’s goals my lessons include: Reading, playing by ear/ear training, tabs, music theory, technique, improvisation, learning songs, and songwriting.

Vitoba - Saxophone, Clarinet & Flute

Music is Love Love is Music
I am a music instructor specializing in clarinet, saxophone and flute. I began teaching at the age of 15 and have never stopped. I performed with numerous bands in the New York metro area, but the Jersey shore was, and is, my spiritual home. I have worked the mythological stages of the Stone Pony and Fast Lane in Asbury Park, and I have played to stadiums of thousands. But it is the one-to-one instruction where, together, we can attain new musical heights.

I studied with John Placca, a member of the NBC orchestra under Toscanini, and it is him I credit and honor as my mentor.
