I like to "cross-train" my students. By this, I mean that it is important to work all of our musical muscles in order to become well-rounded musicians. Lessons could include anything from ear training, solfege, sight reading, song learning, and much more. Through this exploration, I can find what excites the student and work that into the lesson, and the student can find what inspires them while exploring it more and working on it with me. Read More

Throughout the years I have gained more and more students, but I have never stopped seeing myself as a student as well.

The most rewarding thing I experience is when I see a student get super excited after they have just learned something new and challenging. My approach to learning guitar is like a mini game in which you know when you have passed a certain level. It is clear what's next, and you can't move on until you have beaten the boss of each level, and my students love this! I look at guitar a lot differently than most people, and I also teach it differently. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to high school, when I tutored fellow students in Mathematics. I went on to teach music at UC Santa Cruz as a member of the music department, including teaching an original course I developed entitled "Sound, Listening, and Consciousness". My dissertation research included inquiries into cognition, learning, as well as educational methods and the ways that humans learn. I have given talks about this work, and consider myself to be an educational professional, as well as a pedagogue. Read More
