Having been a performer for many years, I realized at one point that my experience and skills could be of use to people who themselves were interested in developing their own passion for music... And so, shortly after my graduate studies, I began teaching ...There is nothing as exciting or rewarding as focusing one's personal passion and using that energy to awaken in another person their own passion for the interest which you share...

For absolute beginners, I like to take some time in the beginning to teach the fundamentals of music which will allow for students to more easily learn songs of their choice while studying which me, and after they have studied with me. For beginners, I use handwritten tablature, online tablature, and Hal Leonard Instructional Books. For those interested in classical guitar, I use selected pieces from the Christopher Parkening Method Books. 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

I tailor my lessons to each students' individual needs. I have found the Hal Leonard Beginner Guitar Method Book to be a great introduction to guitar. I also create charts and diagrams tailored to the interests of my specific students. I teach my students how to read and write their own music. Nothing is more helpful than learning how to transcribe their favorite songs. You'll learn how to read, write, compose, analyze, transcribe - but most importantlyl - love playing guitar! Read More

I have performed dozens of shows with big bands, jazz combos, rock bands, and choirs. I have recorded both professionally and in my own practice space. I have experience teaching young children percussion, as well as general teaching experience with children ages 3-8. I love setting a good example for young people and sharing my love of music with them. As an intelligent, hard-working, and personable young man, I believe I am well-equipped to the task of instruction. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet
With young students, I teach using the Royal Conservatory method. These books provide a good balance of technical development and quaity music. Once technical foundations are estabished, I will add ear training as well as theory and improvisation. For older students, I generally let them be the guide- whatever you want to work on is fine with me. Regardless of style, I try to make each lesson musical and fun. 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!
