Instruments: Piano Voice French Horn Music
My years of teaching go back many years in various forms. I have taught and coached chamber music, choral music, orchestral music, and soloists. Sharing music is always a gift to cherish and continue the cycle of giving. My musical career has diversified over many different disciplines, genres, and styles of making music. I have taught vocalists musical theatre solos and coached small ensembles of cast members for shows including Pippin and the Mystery of Edwin Drood. Read More

No matter where the student starts from, I always spend a significant amount of time in the first lesson discussing with them what they want to gain, what they are interested in, and how much time and effort they want to put into this endevor. It is important to me to understand the student so that I can cater to their needs and desires, and hopefully encourage them to continue playing music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching the guitar and beginner piano in 2012 after I graduated from UCSB and have been teaching in students’ homes and online since then. My teaching experience ranges from teaching adults who want to learn the fundamentals of classical guitar (beginning technique and sight-reading exercises) to teaching young kids interested in modern methods of playing, learning pop and rock songs, and playing solos. In 2015, I taught in afterschool programs, notably for Hancock Park Elementary School in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, for which I taught an excellent group of curious learners as we surveyed modern guitar methods, sight-reading, chords and harmonic progressions, and playing in duos.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most difficult things to master on guitar is speed, and relaxation, of playing. As the speed increases, it can be easy to tense up, which slows you down. Contrary to what one might assume, the road to fast and relaxed playing is through relaxed and slow practice. It takes a long time and one must be consistent, which is also a challenging habit to build.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Some of the most fun I've had in my musical journey is performing in a Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top tribute bands. My band mates were so fun to be around and we all loved the level of energy we brought to the venues we played in Southern California.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had many students go on to utilize their education in many ways. I've had a few students pursue their own music degree at university. I've also had students attend university for other majors, and they were able to utilize the music theory they learned to get easy A's in their general ed categories. These student had an easier time keeping a higher GPA and had more time to focus on the work of their more difficult classes. I've also had students form garage bands with their friends in high school and beyond!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
After playing classical piano, electric guitar, classical guitar, and violin, I finally found a style that suits my personality and passion in flamenco guitar. It was the "shoe that fit", so to speak. I love the exciting and unique sounds and techniques that are used, and I love introducing flamenco to people who have never heard the style before.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone learns at a different pace, but after a month students have generally become very comfortable with the basics and will be well on their way to mastering their first song.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My flamenco teacher is a big inspiration for me. His passion and love of the style is contagious, and his positive, excited, and encouraging attitude makes me feel very proud of my work. I love that he will play our material at full speed, and with his own style mixed in. Is like getting a short private concert every week!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids are sponges, and will be able to learn music very young. The younger they are, the more important it is to have a home environment filled with support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. If you're excited, they will be excited!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A good warmup routine that targets technique is essential. Practicing technique prepares you for any situation, rather than working on every individual song that you know, an impossible task when you know so many songs!
