I am a highly skilled and creative musician who is specialized in guitar, teaching and composition. I work with all ages and skill levels ranging from beginner to professional. I will customize student’s lessons to fit their goals and learning styles. I work at the student’s pace while encouraging them to practice and explore the instrument on their own time. I currently play in an R&B band, a rock band and a jazz band performing shows around greater Los Angeles. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I meet you where you are at as a student and go from there. I like to teach methodically, building on new skills each lesson as building blocks towards bigger goals. I assign brief, targeted technical exercises as a venue to work on foundational technical skills, and incorporate these skills as much as possible into musical application. The ultimate goal is to play music and have fun, so technical practice will always be in service of playing the music you want to play. Read More

It is my hope throughout this whole process that students will learn how to develop their own playing style and musicianship that will allow them to tackle any musical gig or endeavor that may come their way. I will also during this time prepare students for the rigors of live performances they might have and guide them into choosing pieces of equipment that will cater to their sounds and tastes as well as their budget needs.

I believe that choosing lesson material should always be a collaborative experience between student and teacher. Flexibility is one of my core values in teaching music, as I’ve found that each student has unique interests, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. Rather than going into lessons with a set curriculum, I like to give students some agency over what they’d like to learn while making sure to cover fundamentals as they apply along the way.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I am new to teaching but I have worked as an organizer and choir leader in my high school and college, giving me the experience I need to have an organized curriculum for new students that is interesting and actually impactful. I aim to teach younger beginner guitarists how to best pick up the instrument and learn by playing the songs that they actually like! Breaking them down so they understand the music, but also feel like they're learning the necessary skills to pick up and play any song they want in the future and perform confidently. Read More

I have served as a teaching assistant through graduate school and have taught in both private and classroom settings. I am comfortable with all ages. My goal is to balance a musical education with other elements such as self-confidence, focus, concentration, and of course fun! Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has not developed the necessary strength to hold an instrument, practicing will be of little avail as they need time to mature. However, regardless of when they can start, I would highly recommend that you have them get started with exposing them to all different types of music. This is especially true if your child is anywhere from third trimester to 2-3 years of age where they can either harness or "prune" off the natural born ability to hear music with what's been called absolute pitch or perfect pitch recognition. Plus, listening to music will inspire them to learn more about the subject giving them a great advantage that I never experienced in my early years. Help them out; it's really darn important to get them involved ASAP!

When will I start to see results?
If all goes well, the first day you should have seen and felt elevations by way of building passion and desire to learn and gain more from your future experiences. However, just as many people fail in many other endeavors in life, it is possible that if no efforts are made, that you will not see results, EVER! That's right, why not address the elephant in the room, which is to say, you will learn in due time that the student is the best teacher. As my favorite teacher and professor passed on to me his phrases, I will forward them to you: Embrace the Process, Trust the Process, Enjoy the Process!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Being efficient is a product of acquiring and honing various tools. Over time they will allow you to master any type of music with ease and great enjoyment. There's a long list of tools that I, or any competent educator for that matter, can offer you. It's important to use one tool at a time for maximum benefit. Three of the most effective tools I have come across for simple mastery thus far: is singing all of the melody, singing the harmonic layers separately - but treated like a melodic line, and singing the bass. It is important to note that while singing, we must have a clear musical intent in mind so as to transfer this musicality to our instruments. The final tool, for now, is practicing v e r y s l o w l y. It should seem meditative. While being fully aware of mind and body, we can pinpoint the errors of our understanding greatly with this tool. Overall, if you give time and effort, in an accurate and consistent manner, and rotate the use of these tools, over long periods time but broken up in small manageable goals, one can achieve a staggering amount of progress in minimal amounts of time. It's fun to practice getting better! From my experience, I highly recommend having a dedicated teacher to help teach and develop these tools with the student.

Violins for Beginners: To Rent or to Buy?

...left hand. Drooping the violin leads to poor tone production, and can develop into repetitive stress injuries like tendonitis and strained muscles. Clenched hands also lead to repetitive stress injuries, and they prohibit the violinist from learning some of the basic techniques, such as vibrato and comfortable shifting. Musicians get injuries all the time from poor musical techniques. The more you can do to prevent injury, the better the chances are that your beginner violinist will have success in his or her musical career (even if it lasts just a few years). Will a student ‘grow into’ an instrument? Yes. Of course. But... Read More

Bach’s fifth child, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714 – 1788), originally studied law. But music won out and he became a famous clavier performer in the classical style – and wrote over 300 compositions for his primary instrument. Elisabeth Juliana Friederica Bach (1726 – 1781), who was Bach’s eleventh child, married J. S. Bach’s pupil, Johann Christoph Altnikol. In addition to being a music student, Altnikol served as J. S.

Jazz Scales: The Whole Tone Scale

...and retain information is to learn the process of learning that information. Okay, so hopefully you have a guess of what chord works with the whole tone scale. If we assign a scale degree to each note in the whole tone scale, we get 1, 9 (2), 3, #11 (#4), #5, and b7. If we stack these scale degrees to create a chord, we get 1, 3, #5, b7, 9, #11. So, the whole tone scale can be played over a dominant 7th or 9th chord with a sharp five and sharp eleven. Occasionally, you’ll see an augmented triad (1, 3, #5). ... Read More

I have met very talented classical musicians that do not possess the skills to be able to fluently transpose and play in all the keys comfortably. I have met musicians who only know to play “Happy Birthday” in one key, if they know it at all. If you ask them to play it in a different key, they can’t; or they would have to practice it. Likewise, there are some musicians ... Read More

Furthermore, there are a number of exercises utilizing triplets (and later, other tuplets), and it is imperative that a metronome be used to ensure learning accurate execution of these. Of course, Stone’s recommendation that each also be practiced “open to closed”, or in other words, beginning an exercise slowly and gradually increasing speed to your maximum and then back again- which must be done without the metronome- is extremely valuable.   Similarly, each exercise should be practiced at a wide variety of dynamics, and for similar reasons: it is far more difficult for the ...

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.
