I like to tailor my lessons towards the styles that the student is interested, while also teaching about music theory, reading, and any music history that is relevant to the students' interests. For rock and pop music, I find that there are a wealth of songbooks available. For students interested in classical guitar, I like using Christopher Parkening's guitar method; it contains a great deal of useful information and diagrams, as well as a great selection of beginner pieces.

For younger beginners I start with simple note reading from Joe Pecararo's Read This First. This gives an opportunity to build a really solid foundation of music theory and music reading at the same time. Older beginners I take through a checklist of basic theory fundamentals of my own creation, basic chords and basic scales. Then we choose a song to learn that applies that foundation. I create custom lesson plans moving forward that line up with the students stylistic desires and capability. Read More

I grew up appreciating music at an early age as my dad was an avid music listener of classical, jazz, new age, and feature film soundtracks. At the age of 20 I started to get interested in learning the guitar because I loved the way acoustic guitars sounded. I studied in the music programs at Pasadena City College and Mount San Antonio College for a period of about 2 years. I took guitar lessons privately for about 3 years. Read More

For beginners, on piano I def reccomend Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Also, "My Favorite Solo Album," by Max Eckstein.

Gigging with local heavy metal acts inspired me to begin my music education at AIMM, where I studied Music Production and Bass Performance. Read More
