I am both a musician and a mentor to people who want to enter into the music industry. Music has been a fundamental part of my life from when I was just five years old, and has continued to be my passion and career. I did not always think I would be a musician professionally, but while at university I discovered a new meaning to music and the opportunities it possessed. Read More

I have helped people both young and old learn how to play bass guitar and perform with any band and in any style of music through private instruction. I have been teaching beginning to intermediate piano for the past 2 years and I have the same approach to teaching piano as I do the bass guitar and that is to play the instrument the way it's meant to be played. I have only one requirement as a teacher and that is, you must practice! Read More

My lessons are well structured and prepared. We'll have a weekly lesson planner that outlines and monitors the practices and explains the focus for the week. Planning is not opposed to spontaneously having fun which is a core part of playing music. Planning helps you have fun as you enjoy your success and see how you improve.-Lessons always have a huge hands-on part: We play songs together, jam over chord changes or try to play a melody by ear.

I began teaching the guitar and beginner piano in 2012 after I graduated from UCSB and have been teaching in students’ homes and online since then. My teaching experience ranges from teaching adults who want to learn the fundamentals of classical guitar (beginning technique and sight-reading exercises) to teaching young kids interested in modern methods of playing, learning pop and rock songs, and playing solos. In 2015, I taught in afterschool programs, notably for Hancock Park Elementary School in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, for which I taught an excellent group of curious learners as we surveyed modern guitar methods, sight-reading, chords and harmonic progressions, and playing in duos.

My favorite thing about teaching is seeing that spark of understanding as students learn new things and grow a love for making music. My lesson style is very flexible and adaptable, and I like to have my student's input on what they would like to play. Lessons progress at your own pace and should be challenging in a very fun way. Everyone is different when it comes to musical taste and goals, and it's very fun to meet new people and find what inspires them. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I'm a passionate and well-educated guitar instructor driven to help guide students through their musical journey. I'm currently working towards an Associates of Arts in music degree at Shoreline Community College and I have over a decade of experience playing guitar with a background in everything from jazz, blues, rock, to metal classical. I've had the opportunity to play on stage with artists of many different styles spanning from rapper Macklemore, to heavy metal drummer Jean-Paul Gaster of Clutch. Read More

As a teacher there's not a greater gift but to see students, specially younger students, progressing on their instruments and get better over time. To see younger students develop a passion for music is truly one of the greatest gifts you can give them. I believe the student receives the most value when their instruction is effective and rapid in helping them attain their goals. As a result, I formulate individual lesson plans tailored specifically to each student to help them reach their goals. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I advice all students to know practicing does not have to happen all at once. When you go home and you are trying to figure out how much time you truly have to practice - write out a realistic timeline of how your day looks. Once you have written out how your days look assign about 30 - 45 minutes a day to music. Think of it this way. Your average television show is usually 30 minutes. If you watch 2 episodes of your favorite show, you can practice for that same amount of time. Developing skills is practicing. If you struggled with a specific part of a song at your lesson. I would suggest listening to the song and focus on how to fix that particular section by using the tools taught to you at your lesson.
For piano, I notice that a lot of beginner students will not practice because they didn't know what a note was while reading the staff. Usually the book in which the student is reading has the answers. Make sure to look back at the information provided to find the answers. USE THE INTERNET. Formulate questions and research.
When will I start to see results?
Honestly, this depends on the student and the level of their vocal and piano skill.
Every student has different practice habits. I always tell students to give lessons about 3 months before noticing significant change for piano and voice. Now for vocal students, some changes will happen immediately and some changes will take time. For piano students, results vary because some students may pick up on theory quickly but not piano playing or vice versa. Some styles might be easier to play versus others. Give lessons a few weeks before getting nervous about results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know that your child is practicing when you ask them to stop practicing. LOL. Honestly, if you hear your child singing in the shower or playing piano in the middle of the night you will at some point ask yourself - does he or she really need to practice that much. The answer is yes. In order to improve as a musician the student has to practice and sometimes they may practice at odd times. Now you can tell your child to practice after 8am and before 10pm at night.
The other sign that your child is practicing is through their behavior. If they begin to dislike lessons it is usually due to the dislike of practicing. If your child does not have the same excitement for piano or voice lessons anymore, it's usually because the student has now realized they do not like music at the level that requires them to practice.
Lastly, I will comment on the students practice habits.
