I use a combination of different methods rather than one method. The parts to my approach is; 1) Exposure, by listening to high information music. 2) Discovery, becoming familiar with the chosen instrument by means of discovering how to make music with it and what are the possibilities with said instrument. 2) Association, by learning songs and pieces that the student is already familiar with. 3) Analysis, breaking apart songs and sounds that the student is familiar with to understand the theory behind it. 4) Aplication, by using the knowledge aquiered through learning familiar with to learn new pieces of music.

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

Most of all I enjoy sewing the seed of passion that I received when I began playing my first guitar at the age of 8, and nurturing that which has brought me to love and enjoy the music I experience everyday of my life. I hope that everyone of my students gets out of the each lesson exactly what they came for and more. Whether you are looking for a hobby, trying to reach mastery, or just want to learn a few tunes for a loved one, I want to focus the lesson to your desire. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
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 first ask my students many questions about their relationship to music and where do they want music to take them. I tailor my lesson plan for each student by taking into careful consideration their musical background as well as their objectives. I customize a plan that is comfortable to their pace and helps them achieve their goals. By reaching small manageable short term goals my students gain skills and confidence. Read More

As for experienced individuals, Pumping Nylon by Scott Tenant is a progressive method book for players who wish to further develop their guitar technique, which I suggest to all my experiences students.

In my musical instruction, I try to take a holistic approach. My goal is to help the student become a transmitter and reciever of music. In my lessons, I use ear training, music theory, motor skills, physical coordination and even singing to help students acquire a complete understanding of music making. As a teacher, nothing brings me more joy than to see my students accomplish more than they ever imagined they possibly could. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose voice as my primary instrument because I feel most alive when I am singing. I love playing my other instruments, but it doesn't feel as natural as when I am singing. I don't get nervous or concentrate as heavily as I do when I'm playing the other instruments. I love being able to express myself through voice when words fail. Everyone loves a beautiful song, and it's also something that everyone can relate to when they hear it. I feel free and like there are no problems in the world when I am singing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud that I have continued my journey from elementary school all the way to now and learned new types of music along the way. I never restricted myself to one type of music, and was willing to listen to advice that anyone had to give me. It has changed over the years, but it still holds true that I love singing the best. I'm also proud of the various shows I have been a part of, and the experiences I've gained through that. Performing at Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center was also a great accomplishment.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father was a rock musician who sang and played guitar in various bands around my home town and also wrote his own music and recorded solo records. My uncle also performed with him and plays several instruments, including mandolin, guitar, violin, and sings. My twin cousins play several instruments including banjo, guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, and violin and sing as well. They have sang in various bands around our hometown as well. I'm very lucky to come from a musical family, as I think it has helped shaped my experiences in music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician when I couldn't think of anything else I would rather be doing. I couldn't see myself stuck in an office all day, and I needed to be doing something creative. I never wanted to have a job that I didn't like, because life is too short to be unhappy with what you're doing every day. Nothing makes me happier than passing on my gift of music to others, and this way I am also improving my own technique by teaching someone else. It is a rewarding job that is fun!
