Overview:
I am a Ventura California local who has dedicated my life to music. When I am not playing live shows or teaching, I am constantly pursuing new and innovative ways to hone my craft. After completing the prestigious Ventura College Music program; I can confidently say I posses an in depth understanding of music theory and instrumental technique. I have fallen in love with music and truly believe I was bought into the world to spread music to my fellow man; both as an instructor and as a professional gigging musician who has played all over Ventura County with my award winning band Old Soul. I truly believe teaching is the perfect opportunity to pass on my passion to future generations. Music is a gift for all of mankind and I truly hope you will allow me to share it with you.
EXPERIENCE
My teaching experience dates back 5 years. I began teaching private lessons as a part time instructor , not only for instruments, but music theory as well. As any professional will tell you, Rhythm is the most important element in music and in order to hone your craft to new heights the first thing my students develop are core basics such as steady timing and finger strength. Once the basics have been developed my mission is to adhere to each individual student's need, as nobody learns the same way. I will never turn away a student based on skill level and am always eager to provide more students with a safe fun learning environment for all ages!
METHODS USED
I will show you how to understand music and bend it to your will. For my beginning students the first thing we look at is building internal rhythm, finger strength, and getting comfortable playing your selected instrument. Once the basics become more familiar, we'll move on to understanding music theory while applying it to real world applications. My intermediate and advanced students focus on higher levels of music theory and finger techniques that are designed to break the pattern of repetitious playing. We also learn what you want to learn. My students choose the songs they want to work on because I believe every person is an individual and requires different needs to meet their goals. By Working with me I can promise a wholesome learning environment that is also a fun memorable experience. I look forward to jamming with you!
LESSON STYLE
To be an efficient instructor one must have patience and understanding. I strive to fuel my students passion for learning by setting new realistic goals for every lesson. I encourage my students not to compare themselves to others and learn at their own pace. to be honest my style differs with every student. I do what i can to adapt to every specific need each student requires in order to progress their musical journey. Although work is required to learn i believe making the leaning experience fun and productive always produces the best results.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm.
