Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For someone with no experience on guitar I'll typically begin with scales, and familiarizing with the guitar. For bass; exactly the same as guitar to start, drums would start with with your basic 2,4 beat, and familiarization with parts (snare, hi hat, etc). Vocalist I would always start with a warm up, basics, and note reciting. For keyboard beginners I would show them their A,B,C's as far as how to access those, and we'd start messing with different shapes, and songs almost right away. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music!

I approach teaching in a way that encourages students to learn at a pace that's comfortable for them. Since the lessons are one -on-one, there is no need to keep up with a herd like you're in school. So I try to give a healthy balance of goals that are attainable only if the student practices and reviewing material from the past to see what has been retained while also showing how certain musical material is not like riding a bike... you will forget without some upkeep.

I'm a dedicated instructor who finds joy in working with students to find the highest level of musicianship they can achieve. I graduated from world renowned Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Therapy. I have had the opportunity to play in multiple countries such as Canada, South Korea, Philippines, and the U.S.A and build experience as a musician. Most of all, I love to share my knowledge in music with others and help them grow as musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
When it comes to teaching, I find the most important thing is that we work towards the goal of what the student wants to learn - in the case of their preferred styles/genres of music, and the songs that they really enjoy. Every student has their own individual skill level and pace that can be developed and worked around. First, I would find out the level of skill and musical interests of the student, then I would create a lesson plan utilizing all of the tools at my disposal - both from my personal experience and from other educational sources, such as: Blues books, Rock books, Classical guitar/piano books, theory books, and tablature books, or music from popular bands.

I am a passionate, motivated, and an experienced music instructor. I have been playing guitar and other various instruments since I was 11 - I'm currently in my mid thirties. I graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music from Sierra Community College, where my main focus was guitar and composition. Soon after, I transferred into Sacramento State's guitar program where I gained extensive knowledge of guitar scales, chords, and applicable techniques that make every day playing more enjoyable and professional.

Instruments: Guitar
Everyone learns differently, so I adjust my teaching to every student I take in. However, I strive to help my students master the fundamentals so that they can begin paving their own musical path. I enjoy all types of music and encourage my students to pursuit their interests as I find it motivating for them when facing new musical challenges. My main teaching method is to encourage persistent practice (especially for beginners) as it will help develop muscle memory in the fingers. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Once you've mastered the basics of music theory and have developed essential performance skills with your primary instrument, it becomes easier to move on to another. Many times, some instruments choose us instead.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition and Sound Design from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs where I studied under the guidance of Glen Whitehead and Film Composer and Jazz Trumpet player, Sean Schafer Hennessy. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Sound Design for Visual Media at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To me, music is a life journey. Like with many other art disciplines, we can't master any skill without practicing. We can only get as much as we put in. The more we practice, the better we get. I strongly believe practicing everyday for 5 - 10 minutes (especially as a beginner student) can go a long ways as opposed to practicing once or twice a week for 30 or 40 minutes. when we do it everyday, the content and exercises are fresh in our mind and are easy to internalize. When practicing a few times a week, it might take some effort to remember the concepts and exercises before warming up. Hope this helps!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Once you know your teen shows interest in music, it is a good idea to have an opening conversation to get a better sense of what he or she would like play and accomplish with music. Even if they are interested in learning how to play the guitar, having the chance or flexibility to try out different instruments can make the process of starting out and committing to an instrument much easier. In the case of guitar players, the earliest age I recommend starting out is 9 years old, preferably 12. At that age, a 3/4 size guitar would be more suitable to start out with. I recommend switching to a normal size guitar (acoustic/electric) at or after the age of 15.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it just felt right to play. It is a very complete and popular instrument. It can do harmonies, melodies and rhythm, and it's perfect for beginners looking to play a wide range of music styles.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone has a different learning style. My job as a guitar and music instructor is to guide students in discovering themselves through music. From my experience, music theory and playing the guitar can be challenging and don't come naturally to everyone. For this reason, it's important to remain calm, goal oriented, and remember to be kind to yourself during learning challenges. If we are being consistent with our practice, we are bound to see results. The more you put in, the more you get out!
