I started my musical journey at age 3 in Hollywood, California. My musical inspiration has always been The Beatles and I aspired to be like them. From the first time I picked up the guitar I never put it down. As I grew into my guitar, it became my friend, protector and therapist. As a high school student hearing the last bell ring, I leaped on my back and headed straight to music school which I took way more serious than anything else, knowing that one day I'd make my presence known.

In 2006, after moving to NY to attend law school, I discovered Musika. I applied to become a guitar instructor, and given my background of working 1 on 1 with many high school students over the past few years, and my experience as a guitarist to that point, I was accepted as a new instructor. Over the next year or so, I taught several young aspiring guitarists - from the age of 17, all the way down to the age of 4 - and truly enjoyed seeing each one of my students progress noticeably, week after week, in their ability to play.

For beginning students who are children, be able to capture their excitement and build on top of that is very important. 90% of students gave up playing within the first year is because they felt...bored. My method get students quickly be able to play along with songs that they like or hear often in their daily life (ex. radio) then we break down the fundamentals behind the songs and gear the song toward a more classical approach to help students gain a comprehensive understanding, solid foundation and techniques.

So we study chords and rhythms, as they relate to the songs the client enjoys. I like to insert a five to ten minute practice before digging into the main lesson. This involves playing scales or running chord progressions or learning about, for example, the circle of 5ths or 4ths. I do teach more advanced levels, in which we learn how to substitute chords and arrange songs. I alwyas build goals into a program as it feels really good to achieve and move on to the next goal!

Very flexible, friendly, understanding and supportive teacher. I encourage my students to play duets with me and their friends (if applicable) and participate in recitals.I also try to teach them basic music theory unless they object, and help them to understand music, learn more about the history of music, and related matters. Some of my students take Royal Conservatory of Music tests regularly. I try to accommodate my students' interests and needs and always open to new things -say if they want to learn guitar accompaniment toa song they want to sing or solo/ accompaniment for a band.

When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult question to answer. Frankly, your student will only see results if they are putting the time in at home. Any teacher that says otherwise is Lying to you. Best case scenario is that I introduce a new concept and and the student practices hard and gets it in their hands and in a couple months they the concept is being utilized naturally. The important thing to note is that this is like leaning an new language. there are people that study in college for years and still aren't fluent, but; there are students that are fluent by the end of the second year of study. the difference between these students comes dance to "personal investment" in their learning.
For best results: Be Immersive. and Stay Curious.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can sit in a classroom, they can take a lesson. It helps if we as teachers ascribe to a similar structure to the one that your younger student is used to- keeping a grade book, insuring there are defined activities each lesson, possibly having worksheets or homework etc. - This should install the same type of work ethic they exhibit in school.
Think of this as if they were getting a tutor on math or science or getting extra help from a teacher on a paper. We are only here to provide the guidance they need to be successful. It helps a lot if they are interested in learning about the opportunities music can afford them in college and in the real world.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1.) Practice every singly day. The hardest part of learning a new skill is the early days. There will be moments where you are frustrated. There will be moments where you just want to give up. It is important that you realize that nothing is "TOO HARD" it is just unfamiliar.
2.) Being a musician is a marathon not a sprint. Start as slow as you can when learning material. This is a lesson that everyone has to learn the hard way. You have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to Walk before you can run. GO SLOW.
3.) This may sound like a contradiction to number 2 ,but ; Don't practice in marathon sessions. Your brain is only effectively retaining information for about 45-50 minutes at a time, AT BEST. I found that I grew the most in Grad school when I was practicing one head for 30 - 40 minutes then waiting for 10-15 minutes to "cool down" then starting a new item on my list of objectives. Do this everyday and eventually you will see massive results.
