I have a TON of books to learn from which range from rock books, jazz, sight reading, tablature and also some holiday stuff if that's something you'd want to do. Read More

I also believe in the importance of listening to as many professional recordings as possible of the instrument the student is taking lessons on. Read More

I am a teacher and musician living in Los Angeles, CA, who enjoys sharing my love of music with students.

I always keep an open attitude and make my lessons energetic and exciting, while still being constructive. I love seeing my students' faces light up when they hear a cool lick, or when they nail a song they've been working on.

It's a pleasure to turn my students on to music and artists they've never heard before and seeing them grow into confident and mature players. Read More

Applied behavior analysis is key to teaching complex tasks and acquiring fine motor skills to perform the student’s intentions.

Nothing is forced, compliance is always granted and earned, determined work ethic is displayed throughout. Read More
