My primary goal is to fill the student with the love of guitar and the passion to continue and grow. This is accomplished by continuing to challenge the student while keeping the process as interesting and fun as possible. I encourage the student to choose songs they want to work on rather than my dictating the music. This keeps it fun and interesting, and sometimes presents a challenge for me if their tastes are a little eclectic. Read More

I customize my teaching to the individual based on their experience and expectations. We will always establish a solid form of technique on the instrument: for electric bass that being fretting hand drills and exercises getting used to getting around the fretboard, and right hand drills practicing alternating plucking. In addition to that well dive into harmonic structure: learning the notes of the fretboard and the coo responding scales/arpeggios/chords that go with them. Read More

I am an active percussionist currently based in the San Fernando Valley, but my passion for music has brought me all over the world.

I have recorded drumkit and percussion on over a dozen albums, and have internationally and domestically toured with Cleopatra Records artists Hedersleben and Nik Turners Hawkwind. Read More

All kind of styles & genres are welcome, from the more basic to the more complex genres. Read More

I started out teaching group sessions for local singers in Southern California at no cost for 4 years starting in 2013.

Being an artist myself, I love teaching young aspiring artists the knowledge and watch the surpass how far I went in the entertainment business. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I'm very passionate about being honest and straightforward with my students. I'm very prone to telling my students not just what I do but why I do it, as I believe it's important to develop holistic thinking. I also think it's important to get students curious about as much related to the art form as possible. So, I include extra information about history, theory, other aspects of the canon, etc. Read More
