Instruments: Piano Voice Accordion Music Keyboard
The highlight of my day of music is teaching all ages and all levels of piano, music theory and composition. Since I am very confident in the many styles and techniques in which I have performed over the years, it is with pure joy that I teach the various levels of piano along with the musical tools necessary. In this way, the student is enlightened, encouraged, and excited to experience all the wonderful worlds that the piano encompasses. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
I am a full time performing, recording & teaching musician in Los Angeles. My trumpet can be heard on platinum-selling albums, major motion picture scores, hit TV series', and all over the world in live concerts. I have toured the world performing and have achieved two degrees in music before settling in LA. I can teach you anything you want to know about music from the most basic to the extremely abstract.

Instruments: Piano Cello Keyboard
I try to balance the needs of my students and work to strengthen their musical weaknesses for example working on Vibrato or bow distribution. Usually, I like to spend 10 minutes warming up both hands with long tones, scales, arpeggios, and other fun exercises. During the next 30 minutes, we tend to focus on fixing issues relating to the music such as rhythms or intonation issues. In the last 20 minutes of the lesson I tend to focus on musicality and finding inspiration to give to my students so they can exploit their potential. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I have been playing trombone since I was 10 years old and I haven't stopped since. I am involved in various groups throughout the SF Bay Area and I have experience in playing many different styles of music ranging from classical, RB, salsa, Latin Jazz, Jazz, rock, and many more. I have been teaching for about 3 years and I have been teaching at San Jose State University as a Jazz Big Band instructor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Music Keyboard
The first lesson is always a trial lesson, in it I attempt to access where the student is musically. I also use the time to find out what the student's musical goals are . We look at things like reading, theory, dexterity on the instrument. If the student plays a wind instrument we look at things like embouchure and breathing. Once I have gotten a good idea as to the student's skill level and have spoken to the student about their musical goals and interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Organ Synthesizer
Progress is made at the student's own pace. I try to set goals that are both far-reaching and realistic. Anything is possible if you don't give up too easily! I've used a variety of different lesson books in the past. It's important to note that the Bastien piano books, as well as the Clark, Faber, and Alfred methods all play to different strengths. Since different students respond better to different methods, I try to incorporate some variety which focuses on several concepts: developing ear-training (i.e. picking up melodies and chords from ear) as well as sight-reading, technique, and choosing interesting repertoire.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the bass guitar because it is the glue between the melody and the rhythm in contemporary modern music. It’s a very important element in most bands. The bass guitar is still a new instrument that was invented. I love the deep rumble of a bass guitar and also the cutting tone of its mid and high range. The bass guitar can also be a solo instrument. There are many techniques to getting a great sound from a bass guitar. There are bass guitars that have over 10 strings and some with only one!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I proud that I am credited as a professional musician on big time record labels with artists and producers on Interscope. As a child I would read the CD inserts to see who was playing the guitars, drums, bass, and all other instruments. Music was so good to listen to and I would always say that I wanted my name to be inside a professional CD one day and it happened more than once! I’m also proud to be s professional composer for films and documentaries. I’m also elated that I have been able to do professional theatre work as a musician!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In my opinion it is finding your individual tone and comfortable techniques. Playing the bass guitar can be very painful! Especially in the beginning stages. Also knowing when to play and when not to play. I also believe that it’s hard to master the fact that the bass guitar may not be the highlight of the band. It may be a non glorified position and a bass player has to be comfortable with that. Like I pointed out earlier the bass guitar is the foundation of the sound. It may be very repetitive in what one plays and it’s hard to master the groove
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No not that I know of personally but I do know that I’ve inspired many children and grownups to find the music inside of them. I’ve inspired many to purchase an instrument and join a band no matter how good or bad they may be at playing it. I’ve inspired elderly people to get up and dance at private functions at assisted living facilities and nursing homes! I’ve inspired the youth to never give up the dream of being a musician no matter how long it takes. I’m a firm believer that there is no time line to success
