Other than playing I love to share music and what I've learned with people of all ages. I've given private lessons for 10 years, and held clinics, summer camps and private lessons at the San Diego Rock and Roll School and at the Long Island Drum Center in NY. I love helping people learn to do things they thought they never could. My view is - Music as a craft should not be a competition, it's not about being better than someone else, we're all in this world together and we can all learn from each other. Read More

My biggest goal in any lesson is that my students are engaged and having fun! I chose songs based on the taste and goals of each student I teach, and make sure to go over different technique and musical devices found in different songs. Initially when working with new students I like to begin with learning to play some songs and developing some basic fundamental skills, and then circling back and going back over any theory.

Every single one of my lessons is individualized and focused on YOU and what YOU want to learn. Of course, there are things that I encourage such as posture and proper technique, among many others, yet I will always have a focus on MUSIC and helping you get to wherever you need to learn, not by theory alone but through putting what we learn into practice. I understand that some students want to learn the instruments themselves but without the context of how they function in music, I feel I would be doing them a disservice. Read More

I believe in getting the student interested in the concepts and styles themselves, i like to introduce them to different ways of playing and my main method is to show them how it can be exciting to play/learn. For eg, for someone who loves games, I would show them how to play chords and melody ( on a piano ) at the same time by using the Minecraft theme song as an example, or any game that they might know and enjoy so it gets them interested to want to play and learn, through that i will show them dfferent techniques and concepts, this way they are already enjoying what they are learning and at no point will not want to practice it on their own.
