Since the age of 9, I've been learning and performing with a guitar. First it was recitals among my fellow peers at my local Music school. After gaining enough proficiency, I started playing in a multitude of bands as a teenager, playing various local venues around South Florida.

Learning to play songs that are enjoyable is great, but the best part of music comes from the ability to be able to invent and create something new. Read More

When meeting a new student I like to take the time to know about them.
