From 2001 to the present, I have prepared lessons to privately teach music and languages. I assisted foreign students with diction, reading and writing In 2007, for the Eutonic School of music I also assisted in recitals, and accompanied students on the piano. I taught them warm ups and songs geared towards their student levels. I love every aspect of music from teaching to promotion. In addition, I promoted advertised for music social networking site called Warfest.com via Reverbnation.com, and interpersonally where I set up free profiles for music artists, explaining sites benefits.

Hello, I began teaching professionally 9 years ago in my home studio. I first started with guitar lessons. I am very passionate about aiding and supporting the growth of students. I provide students with the skills needed for the complete understanding of the language of music. This equips the student to learn any kind of music that is desired. Students are then able to learn classical, jazz, blues, rock, and popular music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
I've been teaching for the past five years. My favorite part of being a teacher is seeing my students take the initiative in their musical studies and discovering break throughs in our lessons. Many of my students have participated in several honor bands and competitions, and I make it a point to steer them in that direction. In my experience the best place a musician can be is surrounded by musicians that raise their standards of excellence. Read More

I also have great expertise working with retired active senior citizens. I headed up the gerontology arts division for Orange Coast College/Coastline College and taught music/acting at active senior sites for over 14 years. Many of my current students are retired seniors. I have written several text books on jazz theory, jazz piano, jazz vocal and musicology subjects that are used by schools and universities. As a professor of University of West London: London College of Music (US rep), I am able to offer internationally accredited music performance grades (1-8) for piano (classical, jazz pop), digital keyboard (pop, music industry), voice (musical theatre, opera/classical, pop, rock, jazz).

I have an arsenal of exercises and tools that I apply as needed for each student, and generally give each student an overview with lots of reinforcement in subsequent lessons at my concepts of technique. Generally each lesson involves vocalese - scales, triads, increasing in difficulty as appropriate and based on individual areas of need, followed by work on the repertoire. We work a lot with sheet music and a keyboard or piano is needed for the work. Read More

With students that are full beginners, I like to start them out with some reading to show them how time is divided and how to identify notes on the staff. I've found that finding notes on the staff helps them learn the notes on the fretboard faster and easier. I use a book called Guitar Method Book 1 by Hal Leonard. For students who are more advanced, I will focus on their time feel, sound, and music theory. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad is a drummer. He was in drumcore and marching band since high school, went to UCLA and continued playing jazz there, and to this very day plauys in a top 40 covers band around the South Bay area.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided in college that i wanted to become a professional. The deciding year for me was 2014 when i took off 6 months of school to practice every single day for 10 hours. During that time I filled in a lot of gaps in my playing and returned to school to graduate with my new dedication to the craft and level of playing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano, guitar and drums. My first instrument was piano, as my parents forced me to learn if i wanted to learn the bass. The piano gave me a strong foundation on harmony and helped me learn how to read music. I picked up the guitar because i thought it would be the same as the bass, but just higher pitched! I was definitely wrong about that. And i learned drums because my dad is a drummer and to this day drums is the main secondary instrumemt, as it helps very directly with bass and my sense of time and feel.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I originally went to college as a biology major in hopes of being an optometrist. I always thought that profession was so appealing because it's a clean and not bloody work space unlike other medical fields.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music to play is gospel! It blends my background in jazz harmony with a lot of RnB and funk (as we know it today) with a higher purpose of playing music. Instead of playing the music to just be at a high level, it is centered around worshipping God and helping others worship. To me, that is as free and expressive as it gets which is what music is all about.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream venue would be the Hollywood Bowl! It's such a staple in the LA community and worldwide. Seeing my friends play it with different artists or at different festivals inspires me to keep aiming for it. I don't care too much about the venue status normally but the Hollywood Bowl is just so iconic, as it was my first experience seeing Earth, Wind, and Fire live.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in jazz studies from the University of California Santa Barbara. I paired this degree with my major in Sociology, as i found that being informed with jazz theory and composition along with communicative and professional skills i learned in my Sociology major work well together in the working world of being a full-time musician.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I try to split up my practice sessions into 3 parts. After hand warm-ups, I start by ear training for about 20 minutes (away from the bass), work through a piece or new harmonic concept I'm trying to learn, and at the end just have fun and play through whatever songs I'm feeling that day!
