Anthony specializes in various styles from Pop, Rock to Traditional and Contemporary Broadway. His goal is to help you gain the confidence and technical skills to conquer multiple musical styles. He has been teaching voice lessons and vocal coaching to students of all walks of life: experienced Broadway performers, hip hop artists wanting to improve their melodies, enthusiastic youths prepping for an “Annie” audition and those planning to sing while accompanying themselves on an instrument.

Anthony has been relaxed and comfortable in-front of the piano since he was 6 and is sure he can make you feel the same way. Whether you’re playing Ode to Joy, or Wrecking Ball; we’ll approach it with your enjoyment in mind.

Lessons will be fun and exciting, yet challenging. All you need to bring to your first lesson is a positive attitude!

Lenny is an accomplished finger picker and applies this technique to both folk and blues. You could say he wrote the book on finger picking--literally, since he is the author of the book "Finger Style Basics for Guitar", which is published by the Guitar School.

His interest in the blues is focused mainly on acoustic delta variety (as in Robert Johnson, etc.) and related ragtime styles as in (Mississippi John Hurt, etc.) He enjoys transcribing the old recordings and providing the resulting tabs to his students.

He is also a singer-songwriter in the Bob Dylan/Leonard Cohen vein and is the creator and instructor of the Songwriter's Circle course at the Guitar School.

In his latest performing venture, Lenny is exploring vintage jazz. He sings, plays and arranges for his swinging vocal harmony band, the Fascinators.

Prerequisites: 

This class is best suited for more advanced players. Being comfortable with barre chords, power chords, hammer-ons, pull-offs, pentatonic/blues scale/major scale shapes is ideal. Students will also need to know how to read tab and chord charts. Some riffs and songs will be a little easier but some will definitely be more advanced. We are going to learning riffs, solo excerpts, fingerpicking patterns, and specific strumming patterns.

We are so excited that Michael “Suke” Cerulo is teaching for NYC Guitar School. Suke’s band Schleigo charted in the top 20 on CMJ and college jazz radio charts, and played with not only The Allman Brothers, but Bela Fleck, John Scofield, G. Love and Special Sauce, Galactic, Moe and many more top acts. Suke is our resident jazz expert and deep theory man. He also possesses the patience and clarity to effectively teach sections of the Guitar for Absolute Beginners course and beginners in any style--and he was recently chosen to be in Who's Who in American Education! We are proud to utilize Suke's superior skill set by enlisting him as our Lead Guitar Program Director.
