My journey as a music teacher began more than 15 years ago, when I started giving private drum lessons during high school. Since then, teaching has become a true passion. Over the past three years, I’ve been working closely with students throughout Los Angeles, helping them grow musically in a supportive and inspiring environment. Today, I’m excited to welcome students into my own fully equipped professional music studio — a creative space designed for exploration, expression, and growth. One of the unique experiences I offer is the opportunity to try multiple instruments in a single lesson. Whether it’s drums, piano, guitar, bass, saxophone, or even music production, students can discover what truly excites and motivates them. I believe music is like a language. Once you understand its core principles, you gain the freedom to express yourself across different instruments. My goal is to help each student build that strong foundation, then guide them as they dive deeper into mastering the instrument that speaks to them most. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to expand your musical skills, my studio is a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is nurtured, and passion for music can truly grow.

There is no single method that fits every student. We all absorb and process new concepts differently — some are visual learners, some rely on physical and muscle memory, others have a natural sense of rhythm or strong analytical skills. Each student deserves an approach tailored to the way they learn best. For me, every new student is a new creative journey. Together, we explore the fundamental concepts that allow us to “speak” the language of music, using the methods that resonate most with them. This can include visual graphics and drawings, listening exercises, imitation and play-along, question and answer, singing, movement, music theory, and practical application on the instrument. The tools available to learn music are endless, and I’m always expanding my approach to make lessons engaging, clear, and inspiring. My goal is to create an environment where students feel understood, supported, and motivated — so they can progress confidently while enjoying the process of learning.
