I began teaching private lessons in electric guitar in 2016. I had been teaching to a wide range of students of different ages and musical backgrounds, from beginner to advanced.

In addition to that, I also teach Music Theory, Harmony, Arranging and Orchestration.

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.

In addition, becoming a manager of a music school helped me immerse in the music education community. Read More
