I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties. I graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music from Sierra Community College, where my main focus was guitar and composition. Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

Music theory will be taught both informally and formally. At first, though, musical concepts will be taught mainly within the context of direct experience with the piano (rather than through bookwork). At all stages, I strive to choose songs and styles of music that will be particularly interesting and motivating to individual students. Especially for younger kids, I include games and other activities to make learning as fun as possible. Read More

For beginning guitar I start out with Chris Parkening: classical guitar book...learning finguring styles, rudiments, and notes. We then go into various techniques and develop song repetoire and chording and strumming styles. For beginning piano I start with level one Hal Leonard book for beg. piano and various beginning classical composers: Beethoven, Mozart, Tchakovisky, Jazz, etc. . I split this class into musicianship-learning notes and reading music, fingering and scales, and theory. Read More

I began studying classical and jazz piano at the age of 5 in the Chicago area with Bob Ravenscroft(currently resides in Phoenix and very influencial in the Phoenix Jazz Scene) at Alan Swain Music Studios.

At 16 I began playing professionally in the Chicago Area in combos, trios and backing up vocalists.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice shouldn't feel like mindless work; Practice should be INTENTIONAL! How can your grow today? What should you work on today to be a better guitar player next week? Next month? Next year? Additionally, I try to learn a new song, lick, or concept every day to keep my practice sessions fresh and exciting.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any time is a good time, especially if your child is showing interest in music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will vary between students. Each student has unique personality as well as a unique level of interest in guitar. Students that are truly enjoying playing the instrument should expect results much quicker than students that are only somewhat interested.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a direct teacher that inspired me to pursue music. In general, I had always known that I wanted to pursue music professionally. Ultimately, I was inspired to choose it as a career after reading about various celebrities/athletes that had given their all to pursue their passions.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I simply love guitar! I've always been a fan of classic rock! I am a huge Slash/Guns N Roses fan.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This year alone (my first year pursuing music as a career), I've played 84 gigs, including:
-Opening for national country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Billy Ray Cyrus
-Weddings, private business events, festivals
-B93 Birthday Bash
-Brantley Gilbert's Kick It In The Sticks cruise ship
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a successful practice routine. There are so many techniques on guitar and a million different videos on YouTube telling you what your "should" be practicing. The reality is that you start by practicing what you are interested in. Things such as scale shapes and new chords are practical tools that should AID you in your practice routine, but shouldn't be the base of your routine. Running scales for 3 straight hours may improve your dexterity with scales, but will not teach you the practical skills for playing within a band setting.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I generally practice for 3 hours a day, breaking it into 3 portions: New Material, Improving Material, Songs. I'll spend my first hour learning licks or a new song. For me, this is a great way to warm up and get excited for practicing. The next hour, I'll work on difficult solos/passages. I typically won't spend more than 10 minutes working on one specific solo/passage. Finally, I'll spend an hour running some of the songs from my setlists. I have about 60 songs between each band that I try to keep "in-shape" for weekly live performances.
