Music Lessons in Chatsworth, CA

Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience started while finishing my second program in college in 2016. With a career planned, I was ready to start sharing the ways of the fretboard to my students. With that, comes something thats most important, dedication. With dedication, you start a practice strategy, whether you want to memorize all the 12 major scales in all five CAGED patterns, or learn Hendrix's "Purple Haze" there must be dedication. Setting goals is very important to learning music, or your instrument, achieving is when you've finally reached what you've strived for, and challenge is when you take your goal and add some "spice" to it, whether it's playing faster, or learning the modes of the major scale.

Instruments: Trumpet Music

I have taught trumpet, composition, and music theory lessons privately for almost 10 years.

I have performed with many ensembles, including chamber, orchestra, and band, fulfilling a variety of roles such as performer, conductor, and administrator. Teaching music has always been a focus during my career and I've found that my students find success in other aspects of their lives by applying concepts we discuss during our lessons. Read More

Music as always been part of my life from an early age. My journey began when I started playing the violin in band. That soon transition into the alto saxophone, which I played for a few years, and then the guitar. I settled on the piano during my days in high school. I learned self-taught, but quickly fell in love with music theory, which has guided me to where I am today. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Music for Little Mozart, Alfred Premier Piano Course, or Faber Piano Adventures. Once the student has progressed to have grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for them. For adults, I try to find out what they are interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun. I especially encourage my students to practice four to five hours per day, because it helps the students to develop techniques and strength for fingers. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I began teaching ten years ago and enjoy it very much. I teach what my students want to learn, by asking them what music they listen to, and their favorite artists. To me, there's no point in teaching types of music the student has no interest in. I generally like to teach my lessons on a per-song basis, meaning we'll focus on a number of tunes, and can extract techniques and theory from those songs which in turn improve his/her playing.

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium

I have been teaching Trombone and Bass to students of all ages for over 15 years and still love giving students the tools and technique to progress and achieve their goals as musicians. Seeing the moment it "clicks" for a student and watching them improve as players and the change that makes in their own image and self confidence is one of the most satisfying aspects of teaching music. My professional career has taken me around the world and allowed me to do and see things I never would have dreamed. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Music has been the most important part of my life since day one. I am enthusiastic about sharing and instilling this same love of music in the next generation of musicians. As a performer with over 10 years of experience in a variety of genres, the most important thing Ive learned is there is no one path or right way to be a musician. My studies and performances have led me all over the world; from India to china, Spain, and all across the United States. Read More
