My primary goal is to fill the student with the love of guitar and the passion to continue and grow. This is accomplished by continuing to challenge the student while keeping the process as interesting and fun as possible. I encourage the student to choose songs they want to work on rather than my dictating the music. This keeps it fun and interesting, and sometimes presents a challenge for me if their tastes are a little eclectic. Read More

I don't have much paid experience in teaching, however I've been helping my peers and family learn guitar since I was only 2 years into playing. Once I picked up guitar at 11 I rarely put it down, and there wasn't a longer window of a couple weeks where I wouldn't pick it up. (Even to this day). In middle school I took beginning guitar as an elective, thinking it'd be a fun easy A. Read More

With any student who is in a beginning sort of stage with their musicality, I will start off by teaching them basic techniques, simple notes or chords(dependent on the type of instrument), and rudimentary knowledge of the notational system. Once they have started to make some progress, I take a unique approach by asking them of their own opinion for where they would want to see themselves go. I do this to not only make it as exciting as possible for the student, but to help them achieve a vision they already have for themselves. Read More

I'm a very easygoing and straightforward person, but as a musician I take what I do very seriously. I love being surrounded by fellow musicians of all types and hope to guide and spark interest in people who want to try and learn how to play the guitar. I have an AA in Music Performance from Palomar College, where I first began classical guitar studies. Before studying classical music at Palomar, I took seven years of lessons with a local studio guitarist who taught me to play on both electric and acoustic guitar, fingerstyle and picking. Read More

I have been teaching students in music for 5+ years now, with guitar being my primary instrument. I was initially self taught, learning mainly from the countless forums, videos, and banks of articles and knowledge that the internet had to offer, but that would only take me so far. I then decided to major in music, for which I'm still undertaking, which has taken my musicianship much higher. I use a combination of teaching styles accumulated from my own time learning to expedite my students progress, so they don't have to take as long as I did to get to their goals on their instrument.

I'm a passionate and dedicated guitar instructor who loves working with students and sharing my enthusiasm for music. Ive been playing guitar for over ten years, focusing primarily on J-pop music, which has been a huge source of inspiration for me.

Teaching guitar began as a way to give back to my church community, and since then, Ive enjoyed helping students of all ages develop their own love for music. Read More
