I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties.

Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

I am an enthusiastic and patient instructor. My primary goal is to provide a positive musical experince for my students while developing and advancing their abilities to speak a musical language.

Since I've observed that most younger students tend to not know what style they like, I typically place them on Alfreds lesson books. For some reason, it seems to me that students "wake up" to a much wider range of genres at age 11 I prefer to accommodate their stylistic preferences to make lessons more fun for them. For teenagers adults, I encourage them to tell me what their favorite songs styles are so that we can focus on what gives them the most gratification, thus making their lessons more enjoyable.
