I have been teaching for the last 10 years. I taught at the East Bay Waldorf School in Berkeley, CA immediately after graduating college where I taught 5-13 year olds. I have taught private lessons to all ages. I can teach lead and rhythm guitar in a variety of styles including pop, jazz, rock. I can teach improvisation and theory. I have a good educational background in theory as it was an important part of my degree so am able to go over both written and ear training in good detail. Read More

I'm a aspiring musician and educator living in the north Orange County area, in sunny California. I started playing music fairly late, at the age of 21. I took jazz lessons at my local community college. I eventually took up the double bass as well, and improved my skills enough to be in the jazz ensembles at my community college. I just recently completed my transfer requirements and I will be attending Cal State Fullerton in the coming fall semester, majoring in Music Performance. Read More

My teaching experience started while I was in college working on my Bachelor of Music degree. I gave private lessons to fellow students at my college and also was a substitute teacher for the music school in my hometown.

From that, I am able to adapt my methods for the individual student. Read More

My methods are to introduce an easy-to-understand base in music theory and applied music by explaining it based on how the music makes us feel.

Once they are ready, we can begin introducing simple songs and chords that teach the fundamentals in a fun and engaging way. Read More

I do enjoy teaching out of books, especially younger children. It gives a visual to emphasize what I am teaching.
