I have a laisse-faire style of teaching. I am very relaxed and like my students to be relaxed. I depends on how the lesson flows. If we are making ground and they are picking up a lot I will give them more and more tools to work with to keep them inspired and moving! I love seeing people get excited. I feel excited sometimes when they are excited. It is an infectious energy and is filled with life. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion

  Growing up in Chicago there was no shortage of great music. Rock, jazz, the symphony; I tried to soak it all up, and it's that approach that I bring to lessons. With 15 years of teaching experience, I tailor lesson plans to the student's intrests and goals.  I aim to balance reading and playing by ear, learning technique, and nurturing the student's individual playing style.  Most importantly, I always encourage students to notice when they sound great.

I have been passionately teaching guitar lessons to people of all ages and experience levels since 2000. I also taught youth and teen band classes and clinics at Plugged In Band Program in Needham, MA from 2005 to 2018, prior to moving to Los Angeles in January 2019. I enjoy passing on wisdom gained from years of playing in professional bands and studying music. I continue to strive to push the limits of my own playing, and encourage my students to do the same.

Kia K

Instruments: Guitar

One of the most popular instruments of our today musical world is guitar but it is not an easy instrument to play at the advance level. I actively taught classical guitar in some of the top music institutes in Spain from 2005 to 2014 up until relocating to California. I have learned through experience that many students have difficulty getting started with effective practicing. I have made this my essential goal to help them be more motivated towards this task.

Forrest P

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet

I love sharing my knowledge of trumpet and music with students as well as inspiring creativity and the desire to learn. I believe it is mostly up to the student to teach themselves, I simply show them how to do this in the most efficient way. There are countless method books to choose from and most of them leave out the most important details of how to actually practice and get results. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Jimena F

Instruments: Guitar

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice in small bits. Once you start overthinking or forgetting stuff you have to take a break. Studies prove for any topic you retain information for up to 20 minutes. I highly recommend to practice effectively for a short time. It doesn't matter if your schedule is tight either going to school or working. You can sort out the most important things you want to have down and be able to improve. Repetition is good as well. Those two will get you results. For example, learning a song try starting with couple measures (small bits) and repeat them until you have them down, then move forward to the next parts.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone is ready to start lessons at anytime. Music will develop different skills and will bring joy to anybody. Having the desire of learning is the best thing to encounter in a student. I personally wanted to learn music when I was 6 years old but my parents thought it was not the best time or that I'd quit for being too young. Later on they realized I was focused on nothing else but music to a point of graduating College and moving out of the country I was raised. I want to give anybody the opportunity of helping them to do and learn what they want.

When will I start to see results?
Results are subjective to anybody's opinion and needs. Results depend on the teacher and also the student. The teacher can give the material to the student but if the student shows no interest on keeping up, then the pace would be slower. I'd rather focus on what the student wants to learn and start from there; Therefore, as a teacher, I can keep the student interest and will to keep learning and improving. My interest is to show the students their own improvements from the first day to few lessons later.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think there is never enough things to learn, practice and improve. We always have something to learn as musicians. We have theory and rules to follow, but there is always something new to do or deviate from the music theory that ends up being a hit on billboard every day. The hardest thing to master is to know you have to keep practicing no matter how good you think you are. It's challenging getting out of the comfort zone once you identified what you want or what you're good at on your instrument. Techniques and styles will always come and go.

...is able to keep tabs on the lesson, and to make sure that the other children in the family are together, in a safe environment (i.e. not wandering the halls and falling down stairs). And the teacher gets to guide not just one student at a time, but several, along sound principals in music making. Families with multiple children who take lessons together give a distinct advantage to the younger students, who have grown up hearing the music and watching the process their whole lives. While every day in the studio will not be perfect, quality music education is the goal ... Read More

Types of Effects Pedals for Guitar

...they looked for ways to add reverb to their instruments. One guitarist/inventor attached his instrument to a 500 gallon tank in an effort to achieve this, but gave up when he realized his invention wasn’t practical for live performances.   The next two decades brought huge advancements in sound technology, and by the 1950’s, most amplifiers came with guitar effects like reverb, tremolo, vibrato, and echo. The first standalone effects pedals were huge, expensive, and not easy to perform with on stage, but by the 1960’s, engineers had learned to design high-quality effects pedals that were affordable and easy to play. 50 years later, ...

At this point in the song, feel free to break out into full chord-strumming. Bridges   The song’s bridge sections include the following chord progression:   F-G-C-E7 F-G-C-E7 F-G-C-E7 F-G-C-C   At the end of each bridge, you’ll end with a C chord rather than the E7. This is a great introductory song for beginners looking to break into material that opens up the right hand for fingerpicking. You might think that the Imagine chords for guitar can be a little challenging in the verse sections, but this is an incredible song that is well worth the time and effort it takes to master.   ...
