About Barry
I'm a fulltime working singing acoustic guitarist and electric bassist with forty-plus years experience on large and small stages on two continents and in the studio. I also write and self-produce my own songs.
As such, I offer contemporary style "feel" based private instuction and songwriting coaching for anyone from beginners to up-and-runnings who'd like to add more colors to their musical palettes. I can help with your lyrics too if you'e a songwiter.
The feeling of accomplishment I get when I have clearly "gotten through" to either a student or an audience in a positive, meaningful way.
I stated taking on students in 2015 when I decided to supplement my musician's income to include spreading my accumulated stage and studio-learned knowledge around in a way that might be beneficial to others.
I have worked as an acoustic guitarist and electric bassist on large and small stages on two continents for forty years.
I started off in a local Long Island cover and original band called Mazarin who became highly successful.
In 2007 I became bassist, rhythm guitarist and background vocalist for Blackmore's Night, current band of Deep Purple's "founding father" Ritchie Blackmore.
I presently play bass for Happy Together, a six-act 1960s pop oldies tour which features original members of the Turtles, Three Dog Night, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Association and others.

The first thing I do is ask the new student what he/she wishes to accomplish. I ask for examples of songs or genres whose styles they hope to master. In the case of songwriters, I ask to hear songs, or song ideas, they wish to develop further. Then I ask the student to demonstrate some of what they've accomplished so far. I can always tell from this demo how to tailor the lessons to that student's unique set of needs and potential skills.
Ages 11 to adult.
To follow his/her instincts, and to not be too concened with the opinions and musical prejudices of others.
And also to make a point of playing / singing / writing at least a little EVERY DAY.
My own last tour as bassist for Happy Together!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Exactly what it is they hope to accomplish by signing on for the lessons, and to be ready to demonstrate clear examples of where they're at.
