Music Coach · Private Instructor · New York
I help studentsfocus their time, recognize their strengths, overcome weaknesses, and develop practical musicianship through personalized in-home coaching and private instruction.
Music coaching and mentorship
“More than information. Clear musical direction.”
Students can spend years collecting exercises, videos, and disconnected information without developing confidence or musical independence. I assess where each student is, identify what they want to accomplish, and build a practical path that keeps learning enjoyable while producing real growth.
“I help students use their time and energy where it matters most.”
Every plan is shaped around the student’s goals, musical interests, learning habits, strengths, and current abilities.
How coaching works
A focused path from interest to independence.
Lessons connect technique, musicianship, repertoire, and purposeful practice. As the student develops, I evaluate the results and adjust the direction.
Focus
Choose the skills, repertoire, and practice priorities that matter now.
Develop
Build technique and understanding through music the student can use.
Apply
Turn new skills into songs, performances, improvisation, or creative work.
Professional experience in every lesson
“I teach musicianship that works when the music becomes real.”
Listening, timing, communication, confidence, and musical judgment are developed through practical work, not only through exercises.
Ways to study
One teacher. Three connected pathways.
Students can begin with an instrument, strengthen the musicianship behind it, or bring several family members together as an ensemble.
Build command of your instrument.
Personalized instruction connects sound, technique, repertoire, and the physical understanding of the instrument.
- Electric and acoustic guitar
- Bass guitar
- Piano
Understand what you are playing.
Theory becomes useful when it helps a student hear, play, communicate, arrange, and make musical decisions.
- Music literacy and reading
- Practical theory and harmony
- Rhythm and ensemble awareness
- Ear training and repertoire development
Stop practicing without direction.
For students who already play, coaching identifies the missing pieces and organizes the work required for the next level.
- Practice strategy
- Performance preparation
- Improvisation and musical vocabulary
- Long-term development planning
Instrumental craft
Learn the instrument. Understand the music.
Technique, ear training, rhythm, harmony, and repertoire grow together. I help students connect what their hands are doing with what they hear and understand.
A broad musical perspective
Technique serves the music.
My teaching draws from professional performance, direction, arranging, production, and formal study. Students learn to connect musical foundations with the styles they want to play.

Make music as a family.
I help family members develop their individual instruments while learning how to listen, coordinate, and perform together. Repertoire and arrangements are adapted to the family’s instruments, interests, and current abilities.

Families can work with popular songs, worship repertoire, Latin music, classical selections, or music they choose together. Family coaching is designed and quoted as a custom format.

About Enso
Sharing what I love has always been part of how I live.
Long before music became my profession, I was already teaching. In middle school, I tutored classmates in mathematics. When I discovered music as a teenager, that same instinct became a lifelong practice of learning, leading, and sharing.
Today, I bring more than 13 years of professional teaching experience and the perspective of a working singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, performer, arranger, and music director. But the heart of my work is simpler: I share enthusiasm for music, for learning, and for the discipline of becoming better.
Teaching is not merely a service I provide. It is one of the ways I experience music most fully. I look for students and families who want a thoughtful partner: someone who can recognize potential, focus effort, and help turn curiosity into lasting musicianship.
