About

Local tutor; Will travel to you, or we can use my studios located in Nassau, Suffolk and all 5 boroughs. My name is Dr. Joseph M., Ba/Ma/Dma, in Education and Performance. I have reference lists a mile long, (with phone #'s, so you contact my previous and current clients), full of success story after success story! 22 yrs teaching experience. I have sent thousands of children to Nyssma. Most of my students have scored; "Outstandings", (lvls 1-4), and A+'s, (lvls 5-6). Have gotten students into All-County, All State, and All National honor bands. This requires a ranked Nyssma level 6 score of 100. I have prepared students for auditions to the finest music schools in the world, Julliard, The Curtis Institute, Berklee, etc. My students have appeared on Broadway, have played at Birdland/the Bluenote, and have won Grammys......... I play and teach all styles; Classical, rock, Broadway, jazz,pop, etc..... I have performed at the world class, A-list level in all the above mentioned styles as well. I believe it is critical to be humble, down to earth and easy to work with, no matter how accomplished, student, teacher, or parent. :)..................
