I first began teaching private lessons on my summer breaks from college back in 2013. What began as a way to make side money quickly grew into a passion for sharing my knowledge with others. The look on a students face when I see a concept "click" in their brain has become a driving force for me, and keeps me passionate about spreading musical ideas to those who truly want to learn.

I began teaching 19 years ago and as one drum student grew to two, then to the occasional piano and guitar student, I eventually was teaching 35 students weekly. I've been lucky in that I have taught such a wide variety of ages and skills. I've taught actors to drum for roles, writers the lingo of the jobbing musician, and family bands pop songs for the school talent show. I've always been open to scheduling whatever is easiest for the student, and I'm happy to do in-home lessons but since I began teaching the technology has advanced substantially. Read More

I started teaching in 2018, soon after moving to LA a few weeks after I graduated from Berklee College Of Music. I started out teaching at music schools, and would often have up to 30 students in a week. I would have weekly lessons with my students, prepare them for their annual recitals, and communicate with parents after their child's progress. More recently I have been teaching in-person lessons at my student's houses, as well as doing virtual lessons, which has been a incredibly rewarding experience. Read More

My music is an explorative collage of rhythm and harmony that incites emotion, creating a wild and memorable experience for listeners. I source inspiration from an array of influences, ranging from Miles Davis, to The Beatles. My musical pieces are born during a 3–4 hour session at the piano, and refined through excessive scribbling, and endless rehearsing. In the past year, I have expanded my professional development to work as an educator, and a scholar of music. Read More

I have been teaching since 2008. I thoroughly enjoy teaching students of all ages because I can relate to students who are learning and trying to progress in their instrument as I can remember being in their position when I started learning music. Seeing students progress and improve as a result of helping them, I find to be one of the most rewarding aspects for me personally. It’s never too late to start learning no matter what age you are.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set, Achieve, Challenge!
Set a goal to what you'd like to do! whether it's all 12 major scales in all 5 CAGED system patterns, or alternate picking! once you achieve the goal, you've worked this hard, challenge that goal! Take that riff and set the metronome to a faster tempo, make a solo using all 5 CAGED System Patterns, and jam to a backing track, better yet, jam with a friend, a parent, even your teacher! Nothing makes us happier than being able to finally jam and make music with a students who speaks the music language!!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start with waking up early! sometimes 5 AM, or I will sleep in to about 10 AM. Get a good healthy breakfast, so you are energized and ready!! Drink a few glasses of water, make sure you're hydrated! Now I start stretching not just my hands and arms, but my whole body from legs, to neck! Finally! I pick up the guitar, and get out my metronome app on my phone and set it to a slow tempo and begin a quasi-chromatic exercise, increase your speed very slowly!
Next is practicing every major scale an all 5 patterns of the CAGED system, plus their arpeggios, and their relative minor scales, plus other scales including, diminished, harmonic minor, ETC. After that I practice the modes of the major scale, Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian by using backing tracks!
Next either I'll write music, or I'll play along to backing tracks to my favorite musicians!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an Associates degree in guitar performance from Musicians Institute, College of Contemporary
Music. I chose this because after succeeding with private instructors and being a School of Rock student, the next step was getting a degree and passing on what I've learned. Going to college for guitar performance was the most fun Ive ever had! just waking up in Los Angeles, walking with a backpack of manuscript paper, textbooks, and a guitar on Hollywood BLVD was such a highlight. I got to study with the greatest musicians in the music industry.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love all types of music! But if I had to choose, I would say Progressive Metal! Because of the usage of odd time signatures and songs/albums that tell a story! The best example is the band Dream Theater! Imagine a band like YES and Pink Floyd and you give them a metal push, there you get Dream Theater! Progressive Metal brings out so much emotion, especially if the music tells a story, its just like being in a play, with characters that read a script, you SEE what the story is about! It's a great way to check out new music!
