Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
I am passionate and hard-working. A great deal of my free time is spent recording and producing music. I enjoy watching my students grow as much as I enjoy finding new ways of growing and learning myself. I am often most inspired by the raw and vulnerable, simple and yet hear-wrenching melodies I come across. Moments as a listener, when a melodic theme takes over and everything else seems to dim out, almost as background noise, are my absolute farovite. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I grew up in Indianapolis. While in high school, I studied Classical Clarinet with Achille Rossi of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. My interest at this early stage of my career was and still is in Classical Music. I went on to play with many of the All-City and All-State Orchestras.After high school, my interest in jazz began to blossom. I went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, where I was a Performance Major and earned my four year professional performance certificate, studying all aspects of jazz: composition, arranging, and performance.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My music leadership experience began with competitive show choir in 8th grade - voted Student of the Year - and these experiences inspired me through high school! The show choir program director appointed me tenor section leader in 9th grade and Voice Captain in 10th grade for my ability to lead voice sectional rehearsals and provide pianist accompaniment when needed. I am currently a performing arts coach for the Anaheim Union High School District, supporting vocal music and dance program directors with clinician and choreography services. Read More

I see every lesson as a collaborative effort between teacher and student, and I always strive to create an engaging and positive environment, where students feel encouraged and motivated to advance their musical skills. For some, this may mean selecting a piece of music that is of particular interest to the student (perhaps even one of their own compositions), and tailoring exercises to work towards specific goals for that piece.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a passionate instructor who loves working with students from all levels. However, my specialty lies in teaching advanced piano students. Due to the wide variety of experience in the piano teaching career, I have had the privilege of working with advanced piano students. I have had more than 10 years of teaching piano experience ranging from working with a privately owned Montessori school in Buena Park, CA. to working for a Music School, Brea. Read More
Instruments: Piano
When I have a beginning student, I provide for them a basic lesson book that includes fun songs and introduction to theory. Each week I go over a song or two with the student and have them play for me the song or songs for their next week's lesson. If the student performs the piece well, they are rewarded with a sticker and can move on. For my more advanced students, I ask them what kind of music they are interested in and they play for me songs from their favorite movie or artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of is my ability to make people turn their heads and focus on me when I start surfing on the neck. Time, trials and experience allowed me to build a musical intuitive fluidity where I handle the instrument beyond mere notes. The guitar is here to tell a story, to smile, scream and cry. This moves people in various ways which I am most grateful for.
I am glad that I never ever gave up on the guitar, on practicing and taking it to the next level. And this, despite difficult times at various stages in my life. The Doors' "Music is your only friend" anthem resonates with those who it profoundly affects inside their heart.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it is the most versatile instrument by a large measure:
- The greatest reason by a large measure is that the guitar allows for all musical scopes: chords, arpeggios, solos. This allows the musician to become a 1-man band as needed in a variety of contexts: karaoke, live performances, jams, etc.
- In addition, the guitar has an incredible array of sound-altering techniques: bends, slides, hammer/pull-offs, tapping, sweeps, harmonics. All this arsenal contributes to making the instrumental the musician's natural hand extension and a redoutable musical weapon when the right skill mastery is reached.
The guitar also has several pros to be taken into consideration:
- Easily affordable
- Convivial transportation
- Low and simple maintenance (cleaning and changing strings)
- Very large string family (bass, lute, mandolin, ukulele, etc)
- Wide worldwide acceptance: guitar can be used to play literally every single genre in the world and still feel genuine
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a student of world-wide renowned Moroccan-Canadian guitar professor Saïd Laghzaoui. While my standing with him was mostly focused on classical music, he did instill the desire of learning the instrument by understanding it in and out, by taking every musical measure as an entire fragment to be practiced until perfection. Most importantly, he stressed the importance of being self-reliant. This was the main source of inspiration to build my ear training, which then allowed me to learn all the songs on the fly now with little assistance.
Here are some excerpts of him:
