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
Instruments: Guitar Drums Acoustic Guitar
One of my strengths as a teacher is being able to adapt to wide variety of learning styles and skill levels. I don't teach all my students the exactly same way, because not all students learn in the same way. I am all about creating a fun, positive learning environment. I am proud of the fact that many of my students I have today I have had since I started teaching, and I think a big part of that is the relaxed but productive learning environment I strive to create.

Instruments: Drums
For beginning students as well as more confirmed ones, I always teach exercices in a musical context. It's important to know how to play but it's even more important to know when to use the right skills at the right time. I teach independance, rythms, grooves, polyvalence, time and more in order to make you a better musician who can adapt to the different situations you may find yourself in. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I believe each student is unique and requires lessons tailored to his or her individual strengths. While covering all the bases with each learner, some students thrive in enriching with improvisation. Others prefer to have set exercises to improve technique. Some have specific goals, like learning a particular song or a melody for an upcoming holiday. The great thing about one-on-one instruction is I can customize lessons to suit each learner. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for the last 14 years for other music schools as well as my home studio. I love to help new students from the ages of 4-99 in learning the joys of playing an instrument or instruments that they are going to enjoy. Nothing truly satifies me more than to see a student advance in their insturment as each lessons passes by. Daily quality and not quantity practice is something I like to encourage the student to be able to advance much faster in mastering the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a highly skilled and creative musician who is specialized in guitar, teaching and composition. I work with all ages and skill levels ranging from beginner to professional. I will customize student’s lessons to fit their goals and learning styles. I work at the student’s pace while encouraging them to practice and explore the instrument on their own time. I currently play in an R&B band, a rock band and a jazz band performing shows around greater Los Angeles. Read More
Instruments: Violin
My teaching style is focused and intentional. I take into account every student and her or his needs. That being the case, I create detailed plans for the students week as far as practice is concerned. There will be listenings on each weeks assignments, detailed notes so as to make sure the student has all the necessary information to best succeed during the week between lessons. The best way to learn is to teach someone what you have learned. 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.
