I have experience in vocals, guitar, piano, bass, drums/ percussion and music production. My first experience with teaching music was when I was 14 years old, writing songs and playing in bands.

I used to write, produce, and arrange these songs by myself and then teach the parts to each retrospective member in my band. Read More

For beginners I will start with a reputable system of books, such as Hal Leonard or Alfred's, supplemented by my own worksheets and song selections that are relevant to the student.

These books both incorporate music theory so well from the very beginning. Read More
