I am a classically trained clarinet player who learned every Rock instrument along the way and some other instruments.

I write music in a variety of styles as well, such as singer/songwriter, Rock, EDM/trance, and even wrote a piece for the Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sometimes, my students will spend a couple weeks on a song, and sometimes they will spend five months on a song. It is all dependent on what they need to succeed.

I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment.
