A graduate of Manhattan School of Music with a B.A. in Classical Piano, Adam Goldberg has toured the U.S. with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and has gigged throughout the tri-state area, working with such artists as Michel Camilo, Lew Soloff, and Steve Turre. Mr. Goldberg currently enjoys the privilege of teaching Special Needs students in NYC. He implements the latest technologies, specifically iPad and Logic Pro, to empower his students as music makers in an all-inclusive music making environment. This successful empowerment has led to wonderful opportunities for his students to be representatives of what Special populations are truly capable of. These opportunities include filmings by Fox News and Apple, as well as live performances at the nationally funded Very Special Arts Festivals, the Upper West Side Apple Store, pedagogical conferences and various special occasions. Mr. Goldberg loves to share his successful teaching methods and experiences and has given presentations and workshops for WNET’s Celebration for Teaching and Learning, The United Federation of Teachers and The Upper West Side Apple Store. He is now preparing to present a hands on iPad workshop at The Arts in Special Education Consortium’s (ASEC) annual conference, for which he also serves on the Steering Committee. Mr. Goldberg is also proud to have been selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator.
