With trained ABA, we can achieve the ever-sought status of “cool”. It is a process of reciprocal musical involvement. I learn from the student, the student then teaches me. Each student is attended to equally with a specific lesson plan (materials provided by teacher). Inspiration and fun is crucial and without it would be a wasted lesson. I’m a nice person with empathy and a determination to keep the student focused and engaged with purpose. Read More

My teaching experience started in my undergrad career when I started taking students on part time. I supplement my live performances income with teaching because I love to teach and see my students' love of the bass increase with each lesson. I like to tell my students to practice everyday even if it is only for 10 minutes, because it gets them into a routine. I work with students to learn the material they want to learn and provide supplemental material when asked to do so. Read More

Perhaps we could make up a new song with the note names. Or for example an older adult who is having memory problems for learning a new piece, but is very good at associating the sound of music with a feeling or image.

It makes me very happy to watch each individual begin to understand and harness their own personal strengths during the learning process. Read More

My love for music started when I was 13 and I started playing drums. I soon got in a band and was enlisted by default as the bass player. I fell in love with the instrument and dedicated my life to becoming a professional musician. When I was 18 I moved to Boston to pursue a degree at Berklee College of Music where I graduated in 2017. Throughout the years I have had extensive performing and recording experience, having toured all over the US and Italy and recorded a few albums along the way. Read More

I am a touring and session musician here in LA. I have had the honor of working with artists such as Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Carly Rae Jepsen, Iggy Azalea and many more. Among the TV appearances I've made I can mention: SNL, Miley's New Year's Eve, The Grammys, The Tonight Show, MTV VMAs and more. However, nothing I've done in my personal life can compare to the joy I feel when my students learn a song, a fill or just learn to love music. Read More

And usually Faber Piano Adventures for young piano students. Eventually going to Clementi Sonatinas and Chopin Preludes. Also Mel Bay Modern Guitar for beginning rock/jazz guitarists. Then eventually going to Mickey Bakers Jazz Guitar books. Read More

As a professional performing and recording musician, I have been honing my craft for over 18 years.

With experience teaching a multitude of styles and techniques in both one on one and in larger group contexts, I have a great way of communicating things to people with different styles of learning.
