Music Lessons in San Dimas, CA

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

Around the age of 15, after about five years of performing, I started teaching guitar lessons to kids around my community and discovered a love for sharing my musical knowledge with others.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

For students just starting out on their instrument, I start of with the fundamentals.

For students who already have some experience with their instrument, I assess the skill level and develop from there. These lessons can be a continuation of building fundamentals or getting into repertoire. Ultimately my goal when teaching is to help the student develop a healthy, fun, and effective experience with their instrument. Read More

I'm a very easygoing and straightforward person, but as a musician I take what I do very seriously. I love being surrounded by fellow musicians of all types and hope to guide and spark interest in people who want to try and learn how to play the guitar.

Before studying classical music at Palomar, I took seven years of lessons with a local studio guitarist who taught me to play on both electric and acoustic guitar, fingerstyle and picking. Read More
