About Me
I help students see the ""big musical picture"" in smaller, manageable parts - thereby making it something they can achieve with focus and a little diligent practice. I am good at showing them that they are capable of more than they might imagine and many times more than their teachers or parents might expect of them. I teach with humor, but, also with a solid foundation underneath it all. I prefer to teach the student how to play their instrument so they can tackle any song that is put in front of them, rather than teach them how to play the Pop music song of the day, which will enable them to play just that one song (hopefully before it becomes an 'oldie'! )

Vince S has over 35 years of music experience in the Westbury area.
