After I first received my Bachelor's Degree from CSU Fullerton, I opted to showcase my original music through distinct outlets.

Of course, a knowledge of music theory is very important, but I always make sure that we don't get bogged down in minutia, and that each student is allowed to proceed at his or her own pace. A practical and usable knowledge of music's fundamentals is employed to get results and keep the student motivated and actively learning. Read More
