Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
I love sharing my knowledge with others. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student acheive their musical goals. I like to keep my lessons fun and interesting. I try to create a fun but realistic experience to ensure that my student's interest is maintained while progress is achieved. I also welcome feedback from my students to cater to each individual's style and abilities. This helps me be more reflective and aware of each student's process. Read More

I have found that when a student has incremental goals laid out, it encourages them to take music from an abstract idea to something they truly enjoy doing! Watching them showcase their progress in a live performance setting is something I have been lucky enough to witness, and do my best to facilitate. By taking each students' individual musical tastes and using them to illuminate common musical concepts, both my students and I have a good time learning! Read More

I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More

We have fun right out of the gate. I bring songs to work on that I think students will like, and invite them to tell me what music they love so that they will want to practice. I have a few books to help us work through technique, but try to use that technique in music that the student will be excited to practice. As a passionate songwriter, I also encourage students to begin composing and songwriting right away if it interests them. Read More

Hi, I am a highly passionate and devoted instructor. Music has captivated my mind and imagination all of my life, so having the opportunity to teach an instrument, music theory, and talk about music is something I genuinely cherish. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego in June of 2023, and have been working as a guitar instructor for just about 3 years now. I have spent 11 years with the guitar, and even spent 6 years as part of an advanced choir before college. Read More

My methods all depend on the students' needs and/or wishes; one lesson plan/method does not necessarily fit all students. Especially with adult students I think it is essential to cater to the students' goal. If this involves the need to learn certain techniques, requires knowledge of music theory or the ability to read music, I will advise the student so. From there we can set up a lesson plan and practice schedule that creates a path towards obtaining the students' original goals. Read More

I began teaching back in Boston when I was finishing up college. I immediately loved it and have been teaching now for over 7 years. I love teaching online and in person lessons in my studio, but I have also taught at various schools. I really focus on making my student comfortable and eager to learn more. I love music so much and I hope some of that shines through and inspires my students. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice in small bits. Once you start overthinking or forgetting stuff you have to take a break. Studies prove for any topic you retain information for up to 20 minutes.
I highly recommend to practice effectively for a short time. It doesn't matter if your schedule is tight either going to school or working. You can sort out the most important things you want to have down and be able to improve.
Repetition is good as well. Those two will get you results.
For example, learning a song try starting with couple measures (small bits) and repeat them until you have them down, then move forward to the next parts.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone is ready to start lessons at anytime. Music will develop different skills and will bring joy to anybody.
Having the desire of learning is the best thing to encounter in a student.
I personally wanted to learn music when I was 6 years old but my parents thought it was not the best time or that I'd quit for being too young. Later on they realized I was focused on nothing else but music to a point of graduating College and moving out of the country I was raised.
I want to give anybody the opportunity of helping them to do and learn what they want.
When will I start to see results?
Results are subjective to anybody's opinion and needs.
Results depend on the teacher and also the student. The teacher can give the material to the student but if the student shows no interest on keeping up, then the pace would be slower.
I'd rather focus on what the student wants to learn and start from there; Therefore, as a teacher, I can keep the student interest and will to keep learning and improving.
My interest is to show the students their own improvements from the first day to few lessons later.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think there is never enough things to learn, practice and improve. We always have something to learn as musicians.
We have theory and rules to follow, but there is always something new to do or deviate from the music theory that ends up being a hit on billboard every day.
The hardest thing to master is to know you have to keep practicing no matter how good you think you are.
It's challenging getting out of the comfort zone once you identified what you want or what you're good at on your instrument. Techniques and styles will always come and go.
