Bob has been teaching private music instruction in the areas of guitar, bass, drums, piano/keyboard, voice, mandolin, ukulele, recording, and song-writing for many years. He teaches children, teens, adults, and those looking for that hobby they always wanted to try when they retire. He can teach music theory, instrument navigation, ear training, and solo improvisation. Some might be more interested in playing their favorite songs for their own pleasure on their instrument, rather than learning to read music. That's ok! Everyone is different and everyone certainly learns differently! Bob will meet you wherever you are musically, and teach you the way that works best FOR YOU!
Early on in his career, Bob spent his time playing in many original bands, writing music and recording in the studio as well as touring. He released multiple albums with national and international recording artists MYSTERY BLOOM, PHANTOM’S OPERA, and NEW MACHINE.
He was fortunate to tour with different bands that played with national acts such as DURAN DURAN, THREE DOORS DOWN, and DEF LEPPARD. He has also toured the states with reputable tribute acts.
Bob has been a band leader for worship teams for both small and large churches and been contracted to play guitar, bass, and drums. He has been able to use his experience teaching both kids and adults that have a desire to play in their churches. Be it on the youth groups or as a part of the Sunday worship teams.
Bob has been playing live throughout the tri-state since he first got his driver's license! In addition to playing solo acoustic, he has played with many well known NJ bands, currently including ALL FIRED UP (The Pat Benatar Experience), THE SPICY POBLANOS, and GROOVE.

Bob still very much enjoys writing and recording music when time allows. He even released an all instrumental traditional Christmas album called "Season's Greetings" that you can enjoy on his YouTube channel.
Bob is a current member of ASCAP.
