I am very flexible with the students I work with. Depending on how you learn best, I will adapt to your needs. I can teach through the use of books (such as the Suzuki Method, John Thompson, etc) but I am also an advocate for learning by ear, transcribing and chord charts. I am also a great transcriber and arranger. With that, I am able to adjust any song to any difficulty for the students I work with. Read More

Teaching style could easily be summaried and paraphrased with my above stated pedagogy! Teaching style changes from student to teacher. I enjoy trying to decipher what the student enjoys hearing, wants to learn, prior knowledge, and desires are. These help in my search to find the perfect style at which the student understands and enjoys the task at hand.  Read More

I love teaching the art of music. I get very excited when I see a student switch on to a new technique or idea that I've helped them realize. Most of my lessons have been for beginners who just wanted to get started to novice players who wanted to learn more. Guitar is a fun instrument with many applications and methods a player can use. I strive to bring those methods into my lessons so that my student gets the most out of their musical experience. Read More

My private classes are fun, creative, and highly individualized according to the students abilities, goals and dreams. Students will learn many essential techniques of classical guitar, chords and arpeggios, sight readings, fingerpicking, theory of music and many of their favorite pieces. I also teach my students about the various styles of music, music history, introduce them to famous musicians, composers and performers as well as to help them to develop their own unique style of performance.

I have been teaching professionally for a decade, and what has been most consistent throughout my experience is to learn to adapt to each student. Every student has a unique background, goals and specific learning style. What I do is get the student on track with fundamental knowledge of music, so that they can stand on their own two feet musically, and then with these tools, lead them towards whatever vision they wish to realize.

I have found that when a student has incremental goals laid out, it encourages them to take music from an abstract idea to something they truly enjoy doing! Watching them showcase their progress in a live performance setting is something I have been lucky enough to witness, and do my best to facilitate. By taking each students' individual musical tastes and using them to illuminate common musical concepts, both my students and I have a good time learning! Read More

Ive been playing guitar for almost 15 years now. From small gigs to big venues, from using in ears and click to just playing by ear, my specialty is Pop, Rock, Metal, and Punk; but that doesnt mean that I cant play a country gig or Spanish/Latin American kind of gig. Feel free to reach out no matter the genre, and I may surprise you! Before teaching in California I've been teaching privately for the past 3 years in Minnesota helping students to achieve their goals with the instruments from playing and singing at the same time to playing full solos and gaining finger independence avoiding injuries and guiding them to a fun and challenging way of playing.
