I’ve come to regard Pat Metheny’s music as the soundtrack for my life – his album Secret Story is the perfect collection of music representing this notion. Click here to find out why.

My name is Greg Federico, and I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Music Education (i.e. - MM Music Education) at William Paterson University. I previously received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Villanova University in 1991.
Currently I work as a sole proprietor, teaching private lessons on drums and percussion as well as on piano. I'm also a freelance musician and have independently released four full-length jazz CDs as well as a shorter three-song CD demo of mainly original music. I've been teaching music for 28 years and performing for 26 years.
From my years of experience in the field as a teacher, performer, composer, and music transcriptionist, I was generously afforded the ability to bypass William Paterson's prerequisite requirement of an undergraduate degree in music in order to study music education at a Master's degree level. I'm pursuing my MM Music Education degree at WPU because I would like to find a full-time music faculty position at a either a private school or a college/university, and I think that an advanced degree in music from WPU will help open some doors for me in this regard.
