Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Every student is different so my teaching style changes depending their personality and interests. Some students respond well to tough challenges and criticism, while others buckle under pressure. For each student I will find a balance between their musical interests and information that I think they need to know in order to become a better percussionist. In lessons, I maintain complete honesty with my students about their progress, but in a reassuring way to watch them grow as performers. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
My teaching journey began over three years ago, initially working with students in my church and later expanding to private lessons. Over the years, Ive developed a teaching style that emphasizes consistent practice and encourages students to explore their passion for guitar. I believe that combining foundational techniques with a student's personal interestswhether in J-pop, classical, or other genreshelps foster a deeper connection with the instrument and keeps lessons engaging and enjoyable.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Regardless of their ages, I always attempt to establish what a student's interests in music are as well as their background and present faculties if applicable. From there, I attempt to develop an understanding of musical fundamentals (pitch, rhythm, timbre, dynamics) as they apply to their interests. It is crucial in my opinion to connect these essential elements of music to the context of a student's musical world. I have several books that I use regularly for examples and also, I write individual exercises for more specific issues with a student's technique and approach. Read More

My teaching experience is 16 years deep starting with teaching drums and art in after school programs and to the point I have now in my day job where I work as a registered behavioral technician for Arcadia Unified School District in a moderate to severe autism classroom. I have a deep love for music and education, so bringing them together in my own way has been such a fulfilling experience. 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.
