ABOUT
Degrees / Training / Special Info:

BA in Music Composition and Guitar  

Overview:

I'm a skilled musician who has a deep passion for developing aspiring students. I've taught guitar for 8 years now and have had many students. I earned a degree in Music Composition from Azusa Pacific University in 2006. I love what I do and devote all of my energy towards music. I know that I can help you achieve your musical goals because I remember what it was like to start from the beginning. 

Maybe you're not starting from the beginning but have reached a plateau in your playing and wish to reach the next level. There is a wealth of information available today but without a sequential approach, you will encounter unnecessary frustration and a lack of real improvement. With the right tools, the learning process can be enjoyable and fun. Whether your looking to become a speed demon, or just learn a few chords, I can help you implement strategies that will put you on the fast track to excelling in your desired field.

I teach all styles and have a particular passion for film, video game music, metal, rock, classical and jazz music. Areas of focus include:

-Chords (power chord extensions, inversions, altered dominants) 

-Scales (modes, harmonic and melodic minor, diminished and whole tone)

-Arpeggios (sweeping patterns, alternate picking through arpeggios)

-Jazz Soloing (learning to navigate through complex chord progressions) 

-Ear Training (learning to identify chords and scales by ear)

-Music Theory ( spelling chords and scales and knowing how to use them) 

-Speed and Accuracy ( how to get your playing to sound clean and fast) 

-Composition and Songwriting ( Various compositional techniques and song writing approaches)

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. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
