Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I prefer to let the student's personality and general skill level dictate the pace and style in which I teach. The greatest detriment to a student's progress is a lack of interest, so I try to give the students as much say as possible when deciding what piece of music they will be learning. Every student develops their skills at their own pace, so my key concern is keeping the students motivated and interested in everything we do during our lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
I am an experienced musician who has a passion for music and a passion for teaching. I have performed playing the violin, piano, guitar, viola, bass guitar, and the drums. Even though I play many instruments, I am only interested in teaching piano, violin, and guitar. Outside of being a music teacher, I am currently earning my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I was formerly a high school math teacher, but I want to earn my Master's degree in math so that I could teach math at the college level. Read More

My teaching style flows from my teaching philosophy: Whole-heatedly meet a student where they are, and THEN, respectfully lead them to where you as the educator know that they need to go...Establishing a true RELATIONSHIP with a student, where they know that you have THEIR best interests in mind is absolutely fundamental. As in any relationship, trust and respect are essential, and establishing a firm foundation in those areas should be just as important as the academic and skill development aspects of teaching.

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

I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

Throughout years of teaching I began making every lesson unique in a way that would benefit the student the most. The number one goal is for the student to have fun and learn at the same time. I was taught in a very rigorous fashion by high level teachers. I know what it means to look forward to coming to class. I love teaching because it lets me avoid the mistakes my teachers made in the past when it came my time to learn music. Read More

My teaching experience began 2 years ago when I started teaching a few neighborhood kids that my family knew. By word of mouth I gained 3 more but then I moved to Santa Cruz so I could attend Cabrillo College. These were private lessons all in the homes of the students. But now that I have my own studio, I have been inviting students over to study in my studio. I have been playing guitar for 10 years beginning with professional lessons, electric bass for 7, and drums for 5. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was always a goal of mine to improve and become a professional musician in the genre. Overtime I noticed my playing abilities became greater and greater over the years and I soon as I knew it I was already improving to the next level in a short amount of time this proved to me that it was what I needed to do in life. I can’t say there was a specific defining moment because music is a lifetime journey but if I had to say there was a specific moment It would definitely be receiving my first guitar when I was 12 years old that they change my life. I was filled with so much joy and happiness something that I can always say was huge for me.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I can definitely say music has ran in my family over the years. My mother was a great singer when I was a kid and I could deathly say that rubbed off on me with playing guitar. Music was always played in my house it was a huge part of the family so I can say I definitely come from a musical family. Music is an expression which I feel can hold a family together and build a strong infrastructure. My family always have supported my musical talents and abilities and I’ve always push me to further it I am thankful for their support and being passionate towards music!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I’ve deafly only stuck with one instrument because I believe if you really have a passion for that one estimate you’ll stick with that only to achieve complete greatness. I have dabbled around with bass and piano in my younger years taking classes in it and learning theory behind those but definitely guitar has only been my first and my one true love. I could never betray playing guitar for another instrument because it’s my favorite instrument to play and has always been since I was a young man and I think my parents for that support.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz guitar is definitely a huge influence of mine and one of my favorite styles to play it’s definitely something that requires a great deal of knowledge and preciseness behind this playing. I just love the sounds that creates and it’s definitely something I want to further my abilities in every day it’s pushing me to take it to the next level and really master the genre. Overtime when I’m older I deafly want to have a larger influence in this genre as long as I keep up my playing I deafly will be able to master it over the years.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream is to perform all 24 of Paganini’s Caprices clean and thoroughly. His pieces are so rigorous and tedious and technical that it would definitely require a great amount of skill to complete them all simultaneously and clean. I know one day I will be able to achieve this and it’s definitely a huge dream of mine because I love his pieces and the way they sound they are definitely beautiful instrumental pieces to practice. I myself as a musician work on these pieces daily in hopes of finally achieving them I know one day I will!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn’t a musician I definitely would be a teacher in some other form of art because of course music is an artform. I definitely get up the filming from teaching so it’s something that I would be doing regardless whether it was guitar not. There’s no better feeling than teaching someone in seeing them improve with whatever they do it’s such a huge for filming in life I can’t describe the feeling I get from teaching it’s like military experience I wouldn’t be doing anything else instead because it’s my passion!
