Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have had a love a music for as long as I can remember. My mom used to play in her community band when she was pregnant with me. In 2013, I graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor's degree in music performance, primarily in Trumpet and Bass Guitar. While in High School, I performed in every Ensemble I possibly could, which includes Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band. Read More

I have a genuine passion for music, and love to share that with other people. My approach to teaching is to always to share in the enthusiasm for student's individuality of expression. I like to help students set their educational goals based off what their goals are as an artist. With clear and measurable progress, students will gain momentum and confidence to write or perform. Listening to what kinds of musical elements excite and inspire the student also guides my approach in helping them acheive those specific tools to express themselves. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Beginning students I will start with Hal Leonards beginning guitar and school of rock tablature so theyre learning both tab and notes. More advanced students will learn jazz out of multiple different books. We can start the lessons usually with warmups on scales, arpeggios and chords then for the rest of the lesson, focus on material. Developing your ear, or what is usually known as musicianship, is also something that I offer in addition to music theory. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I've had over nine years of trumpet playing experience, three years of euphonium/baritone experience, and four years of tuba experience. I've taught many students in a formal and informal setting, from one on one sessions to group sessions ranging from two to eight students. I find teaching to be fulfilling and educational for both the student and myself. I have spent these past two years learning as much as I can and I feel like I have a great deal to offer students ranging from a beginning to intermediate level. Read More

Finally, I go more into what it is they're hoping to get out of their playing and help them go further in discovering that direction Drums - Similar to guitar, work on form and how to hold the sticks first. It's important to get them comfortable with playing loud and clear, sometimes the drums are a bit intimidating with their massive volume. (Unless you're on an e-kit). Next, as with any good drummer is establishing a comfortable sense of rhythm and time. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For the beginner we start of with fundamental chord and note structure but I feel it is important to progress into applying these fundamentals to actually playing music as quickly as possible. Over the first few lessons I will learn what types of music the student is most interested in and will blend the lessons to include both what the student wants to learn with what the student needs to learn to become well rounded guitar player and musician.

Instruments: Guitar
I grew up in a musical family and my father was the rhythm guitarist for Michael Jackson for up to 30 years.I recently moved back to Los Angeles after attending The Master's School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, where I began my study in composition and theory. After graduating from the Master's School I went on to graduate from Sarah Lawrence where I continued my theoretical and compositional studies. I am able to integrate theoretical knowledge to basic folk songs. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I personally think the hardest thing to master on bass is being able to play fluently up and down the neck in different positions. There is a lot of specific geometry involved with the bass, so you have to get your fingers to connect with your ear in every positions. Every instrument has its challenge - for example, piano isn't presented with the same challenges as bass. It is very straight forward and linear in its presentation, so playing in different positions isn't as much of a challenge. Everything is laid out for the eye to see. However, if you want to be an excellent pianist, you must be able to have a rich understanding of harmony and have left and right hand independence.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I'm still not completely sure what drew me into playing bass. I think a part of it was that it was laid back and cool and different than everyone wanting to be all the way in front like Guitar or Sax. When I first started playing bass, I was influenced by Flea and John Paul Jones, but as I grew older, turned to jazz bassists such as Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, and Richard Davis. I’ve appreciated the tone and function of the instrument from the get-go. It is my main instrument, but ironically have always been more influenced by other instruments than bass itself. Bass, to me, is merely a segue for expression.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The past couple of years I have finally been able to fully express myself through my band Jigsaw Falling, which has been a big relief to me as an artist, in which I am the vocalist, lyricist and bassist. I was able to create something stylistically I’ve had never heard before, that I’ve always wanted to hear, thanks to my fellow band mates Arturo Lopez and Jason Austan, who share a similar vision, creating a unique fusion of progressive rock, jazz, hip-hop, funk and latin. I tend to write about social issues, personal turmoil and/or philosophies. Its heavier subject matter but I think it’s important to write about what you are truly feeling, and express it in a way that is unique to yourself in a way that you’ve never heard. Those emotions are going translate to something real, and other people out there are going to relate. This also remains true for any musical situation that I’m presented with.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One particular student I was presented with was the second chair bassist for the high school Los Angeles All City Jazz Band. He was one of the more advanced students I have had, especially given his age. I felt very inspired and motivated as an instructor because he was very inspired and motivated as a student, which is something that always brings me a lot of joy. The particular challenge with him was teaching him to not think of jazz in such a black and white academic way, but instead to really learn the language.
