My teaching began back in his high school day as a Math/English tutor based on the recommendation of his teacher, which later greatly aided me in my now decade long music teaching career. Music is a very personal development, thus I greatly emphasize in establishing connection between teacher and student as well as an understanding of learning approach the student is inclined to. In addition, becoming a manager of a music school helped me immerse in the music education community. Read More

I am a classical guitarist based In Ventura County.

I have been involved in music for most of my life; it is simply who I am. From teaching and composing to arranging and producing, all aspects of this art intrigue me and give me great satisfaction to share with others. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2015 with a Bachelor of the Arts in Music Composition and a minor in Management. It has been my pleasure to perform all over the city of Chicago, from the House of Blues and the Bottom Lounge, to Chicago Acoustic Underground and Reggies. Read More

What gets me up in the morning and keeps me up at night? Music. Private instructors, fellow jammies (music collaborators) and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, all made me who I am as a teacher. I love the prestige of a successful lesson, to see the revelation of "cool" in the student and myself. It seems music was made for me, but also for anyone else who wants to learn. Read More

For more advanced students, we would work on more advanced musical concepts such as phrasing, articulation, and tone control. I also try to keep my lessons relaxed and comfortable. Read More
