I truly enjoy teaching and bringing the joy of music to students of all ages. I emphasize developing proper technique from the start so students can learn to play with ease and comfort. I have a huge musical repertoire and encourage students to request songs that they would like to learn in our lessons. I do not believe that music theory should be separated from music practice. So whether you're interested in jazz, punk, blues, classical or anything in between, I can teach you the theory behind it and allow you to have firm understanding of the music you love. Read More

We then review the material from the week before and talk about the progress or any difficulties they may have come across during the week. Read More

I'm a very easygoing and straightforward person, but as a musician I take what I do very seriously. I love being surrounded by fellow musicians of all types and hope to guide and spark interest in people who want to try and learn how to play the guitar. I have an AA in Music Performance from Palomar College, where I first began classical guitar studies. Before studying classical music at Palomar, I took seven years of lessons with a local studio guitarist who taught me to play on both electric and acoustic guitar, fingerstyle and picking. Read More

For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I have learned that every learner is different, so each person's lesson has to cater to their learning style. Read More
