About Harry

I have been teaching privately for 28 years and currently teach at Union College in Schenectady. My teaching approach: It is my belief that mastery of the instrument and a thorough understanding of music is essential regardless of the style or genre of music one wishes to perform. Yes, I will teach beginners some simple chords so that they can strum a song or two--this affords the new student a sense of accomplishment. However, this is not the main thrust or goal of my teaching method. Please google me. My influences are: John Williams, Julian Bream, Andres Segovia, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, My guitar lessons take place in: The teacher's studio Guitar Techniques: Guidance In Equipment Selection, Recording and Production, Scales and Exercises, Music Theory, Reading Music, Performance, Fingerstyle Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following: A first lesson entails finding where the student is not just with the instrument, but with musical knowledge. I do this by giving the student a simple piece to sight-read. If this is successfully completed, I present them with increasingly difficult scores. A guitar lesson with me might entail the following: I begin every student's lesson with a miniature version of their warm-up drills -- scales, arpeggios, legatos and reading drills. We then move on to whatever technical exercises are current or new. New repertoire comes next. If the student has a performance on the horizon, we will discuss performance etiquette and strategy. The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following: The ideal student wants to learn music, not just the guitar. He or she must NEED to play, not just wish they could.

I began reaching in 1977 while in college.  I enjoy sharing what I have learned over the years. 



I received my training at The Mannes College of Music in New York City, where my studies included theory, composition, ear-training, ensemble performance, keyboard and voice. Studies on my major instrument were conducted with the late Albert Valdes-Blain, renowned classical guitarist and gifted educator, and one-time pupil of the Master -- Andrés Segovia. I was also selected by a panel of professors at Mannes to participate in a year-long series of master classes with recording artist and concert recitalist Eliot Fisk.

I have been an adjunct at Union College in Schenectday for none years.

I am trained in classical guitar and lute and have performed for many years on these instruments. I have also played extensively in popular music in both live performance and in the recording studio.

First:  Establish where the student needs to begin his or her studies -- has the student any prior experience with the instrentun or with music performed on another instrument?  What are the student's goals?  Create a lesson plan for that student which will efficiently attain these goals.



I have worked with chilldren (successfully!), retired 're-entry' players, professionals looking to expand their genre capabilities, high school and college students.
