Seeing my students progress as musicians is the most rewarding part about teaching. Being a good musician does not only mean that an individual has good technique but it also means that they are able to portray their thoughts through their music and most importantly, having fun. I encourage taking things one at a time to ensure that my students are understanding and internalizing the musicality in each of the lessons. Read More

I am a classically trained clarinet player who learned every Rock instrument along the way and some other instruments. I'm currently in multiple bands including a Classic Rock cover band and a Latin band (Rock, Funk, Reggae, Ska, Cumbia). I write music in a variety of styles as well, such as singer/songwriter, Rock, EDM/trance, and even wrote a piece for the Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra. I'm also a big music theory geek which adds to my teaching ability. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to 1996, when I began teaching lessons to children in at-risk communities in dance and music, while going through school in Oakland. I then continued in Stockton, CA, where I developed music and dance programs in the Recreation Centers, and later developed my own non-profit organization. I began writing my own grants to teach classes in after-school programs, and in 2013, while attending my music program, I began instucting private music classes in classical guitar, beg. piano and beg. voice.

For beginning students, I try to figure out what if any familiarity with the instrument or connected genres the student already has and plan to orient lessons around that. If they're absolute beginners with no specific interests yet, as is often the case with children, I focus on teaching fundamentals of the instrument's technique, music theory relevant to reading sheet music and understanding scales, keys, and time signatures. If it seems like it would help I'd move on to the Suzuki method or at least to simple songs and etudes. 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!
