I began teaching at the age of 19 and within one year ended up teaching over 70 drummers weekly at four different locations in which I managed 2 of them. I then went on to open my own studio in 2007 to great success. Recently, desiring more musical adventures, I've decided to relocate to Las Vegas in search of more music opportunities in The Music Business. I have taught thousands of drummers and guitar players over the year and am looking forward to teaching thousands more! Read More

I have been teaching since 1996, beginning as a teenager, teaching out of my house. From 2000-2002, I taught at Southern California's "Sounds of Music" music store, at one point having over 50 weekly students spread over 4 days. From 2002-2004 I taught at Pete's Music, also in Southern California. After taking a few years away from teaching I began giving mobile lessons in 2007, and taught all throughout Southern California. Currently I focus on giving lessons online, as well as in my own studio. Read More

After graduating from there in 2005, I moved to Nashville, TN and began touring the country with local artists. Most of my touring days were as lead guitarist, although sometimes I did take on a more rhythm & acoustic role. It was also in Nashville that I began to learn and love Fingerpicking guitar in the style of Chet Atkins. My main focus at this time in my personal playing is split between fingerpicking and jazz.

I like to use a combination of methods and method books. For a beginning band student I would use Standard Of Excellence of Essential Elements. For guitar students I like to use a combination of methods, depending on the student. I like to use the Old Town School's book for their first songs or Essential Elements for guitar. I like to use a method for guitar that emphasizes reading notes instead of just tabs, and also emphasizes rest stroke and free stroke. Read More

I've always been passionate about music and it is an integral part of my everyday life. Music is like breathing to me...can't live with out it. I learned to play piano and guitar at a young age and was singing as soon as I could talk. I began to compose songs at the age of eleven and found songwriting to be an amazing way to express my thoughts and ideas. Read More

I grew up and went to high school on Long Island , New York. I always loved the guitar and began playing in rock and metal bands while I was in high school, playing shows and competing in battle of the bands in New York City, as well as competing in guitarmageddon competitions. Once I began studying classical guitar with Michael Belajonas in college I quickly fell in love with acoustic finger style and flamenco guitar. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Of course I have a degree in music education. I feel as though music education is one of the biggest things that you said having your plane arsenal because it’s going to make you become a literate musician which is something several musicians like nowadays. Being trained in music theory will help you improve with whatever style or genre you’re in and will further your writing process and take things to the next level which I feel is though every musician needs. I’m not saying you have to have a degree to be a good musician but it’s definitely something that you need if you’re really wanting to be a solid musician.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me usually last 4 to 5 hours not days. And usually starts off with basic technique and metronome practice then gradually goes off into music theory concepts and then finishing it out with writing. I feel as though being creative writing is what’s really going to cultivate your sound and playing abilities from what you learn technique wise because you can’t have one without the other both technique and writing creativity tie hand-in-hand with taking your musical abilities and displaying your talent on a wide scale.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
To tell the truth I don’t really rely on books or DVDs to teach people all of my lessons are based off of my own experiences playing instrument live and in the studio with writing. I feel as though that is the best way to really teach a student and have them understand where you’re coming from. I’m not against books or other lesson plans because we all started with those but as a teacher I want to get my students in the habit of dealing with real live musical experiences which is the only way to really take your plane to the next level and improve. to tell the truth I don’t really rely on books or DVDs to teach people all of my lessons are based off of my own experiences playing instrument live and in the studio with writing.
