I am an enthusiatic and experienced instructor and I want to share my passion with others. I graduated with my Bachelors of Music in Music Composition from Indiana University in 2004. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Redlands with a Masters degree in Guitar Performance. As well as being an experienced instructor, I am also a seasoned performer. I have an eclectic and extensive musical palette and have found myself performing in everything from classical guitar recitals as both a soloist and ensemble player, in pit orchestras, small jazz combos, folk music duos and pop music groups.

I have been insfluenced and surrounded with music since childhood. I have experience in multiple aspects of music from performance to teaching and just about everything in between. I love working with students to achieve their goals. The most rewarding feeling for me is when my student feels they've accomplished a technique or method on their respective instrument. I strive to keep lessons joyous yet keep the student motivated to practice at home. Read More

For beginners, I like to either start by asking their favorite kind of music, bands, etc. I can also try showing them cool, guitar friendly music that they may be interested in. From there, I develop a personalized syllabus for the student based in their preferences, strengths and weaknesses. Also, slowly but surely I introduce and explain music theory and start working with basic books such as A Modern Method for Guitar by William Leavitt. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I help students to progress at their own pace. Little by little, we build upon what we learned in the previous lesson. In the first lesson, I make sure to establish goals that we can always work to achieve. Read More

I've been teaching music in Los Angeles for 7 years! Upon arriving, I began studying guitar and everything else music at Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. It's here that I studied with a few jazz aficionados, perfected blues technique, studied chord theory and all inner workings of a song and it's structure, and more! Most importantly, I learned how to be a musician and artist. I began writing music, performing my songs and interacting with people all over the city. Read More

As a Music Educator, I know that music makes a huge impact on people’s lives. It goes beyond learning and playing an instrument or singing. It has also to do with self-confidence, self-esteem, improving social and motor skills and bringing people together. Music is a unique form of expression and allows people to be creative and show the world what is their perspective of life. I am a very easy going guy, very patient with the students and I always become good friends with them. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Ultimately it was in the latter part of my senior year in highschool. I had the question any senior had... "What do I do for the rest of my life?", and I had the question "Do I do what I love and live virtually penniless , or do I do something I don't love and make more money?" I chose the former. I'd rather work and work at something I love frankly. I have not regretted this decision.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad and uncle grew up playing saxophone in local bands all around Lake Charles, as well as the marching band for their high school. They played alto saxophone very beautifully.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I'm currently working on my Bachelor's in Classical Guitar Performance at the University of New Orleans. I chose this degree because I love the instrument and its music immensely. I chose performance over education simply because in a performance degree you get significantly more music related classes. During high school I worked in summer camps for kids, and the aftercare at a school as well as a nursery for a church. So I'm confident I can relay instruction to students without the education classes. After I finish my bachelor's I'll move on to become a certified teacher and teach locally wherever I can find a job.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Above all I want to perform Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" as the solo guitarist accompanied by an orchestra. It is arguably the most famous concierto in classical music as a whole, and is undisputed to be the most famous Classical Guitar concierto, and for good reason. It is the most gorgeous piece for the guitar, it's second movement tells the tale beautifully of this gut-wrenching heartbreak and loss, while its third movement is inspiring joy.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be pursuing a degree in the healthcare profession, either as a doctor or a nurse. This is influenced because I grew up with both my parents working in healthcare. My dad was a doctor and my mom was a nurse, and they came home happy so often and it was so clear that had an immense love for their professions and that was contagious to me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical, of course. Growing up I never had many musicians to play with and so I looked for music that could be played unaccompanied. Classical music can achieve this easily by the many voices played on the one instrument, and is complex enough to not get boring on its own.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
All the instruments I picked up are closely related to guitar in some way. Technically they're all "Lute-Chordophones" which is a fancy way of saying that the instruments I play are fretted stringed instruments. Ukulele is like a mini guitar with its own specific nuances. Mandolin came from my love of its master performer, Chris Thile, and my love and origins in folk music.
