My teaching methods can be defined by a few words patient, fun, and above all, flexible. I believe maintaining great flexibility is the greatest way of making sure a student is not only learning at a great pace, but enjoying their journey as well. As this is the case, I create individual custom lesson plans for every single student I teach. For example, with younger students, I will generally try to make sure they are engaged and having as much fun as possible learning the instrument, this could come in the form of focusing on (at first) popular riffs or songs that the student would know and enjoy learning.

I have been teaching from October 2016 to the present. Coming into college as a Music Performance major, I never imagined the amount of joy that would come along with teaching. My experience with teaching has always been it's ability to it connect and inspire people. Learning music has always helped my students to express their interests with others. With lessons, I usually recommend a regular practice schedule with guitar fundamentals because fundamentals should come as second nature in learning music. Read More

Having taught guitar both privately and as an independent contractor, I have experience teaching a wide variety of student types. What I try to do is bring the aspects of the student's playing to their attention that may not have otherwise noticed. I try to satisfy the student's curiosity as well as make recommendations for areas of focus in the student's practice routine that I find valuable. Especially in the case of children, my students certainly notice an improvement in their ability to focus after taking lessons with me for an extended period, and parents have a lot to benefit from this as well.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would still be in the field of education in whatever capacity that may be.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have been a jazz fan for so long but now pop music that combines elements of jazz harmony is what I gravitate towards. Jazz is challenging on all levels.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My great grandfather and maternal grandmother were both musically inclined on piano and violin. My great grandfather was a professional composer in the Philippines.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I became a professional musician at the age of 16 or 17 and first performed live with my first band at the age of 14. Thinking of it as a career path was a gradual decision...
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Carley Rae Jepsen is an artist I worked with that went on to write the biggest hit world wide in 2012 "Call Me Maybe.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the art of improvisation is a lifetime pursuit but generally mastering chords and solos is also an ongoing jorney...
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Hal Leonard and Alfred method books for beginning students who want to learn the basic music rudiments of learning how to read music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice session typically includes warm up exercises using scales and chord melody arrangements then after I'm warmed up, I usually focus on repertoire.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Touring with 2x Grammy Award winning artist Sarah MclachLan and performing on American television for the first time (the Tonight Show) definitely stands out! Scoring my first Feature Film and getting some award nominations for scoring was also a highlight!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows a lot of enthusiasm that is consistent and asks about learning the guitar on a regular basis, then that's a good start. If they are constantly listening to guitar oriented music, that's a sure sign that the motivation will be there. Sometimes a child's hands may be too small initially. This needs to be evaluated in an introductory lesson or meeting.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I remember in 7th grade a classmate brought his brother's electric guitar to school for show & tell and I was immediately mesmerized!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My teachers were the guitarists that I looked up to when I first heard them play....like Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton.
When will I start to see results?
Results will depend on the student, but generally most enthusiastic learners will start to see their practicing pay off in 2-4 lessons!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degree is focused on music education.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always keep the instrument within reach. Make it accessible! Never leave it in it's case when you come home. Ideally keep it in the room where you spend the most time and create an environment that promotes focused practicing and is conducive to practicing. Have a music stand set up, a portable stereo system perhaps, and have all your music within easy reach. Keep the guitar on a stand where you can just grab it and even if it's to sit on the couch and play while watching TV....Anything that makes you want to grab the guitar is good!
