Music Lessons in Dana Point, CA

Instruments: Voice

I use my own methods to teach, always encouraging the students to be clear, clean and organized in their own life in order to be the same way in music, that way it is easier to keep improving in the development of their instrument, that in this case is their own voice.

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe

I have been teaching for about 6 years and my students cover a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Everyone comes in with their own goals and I try as best I can to tailor our lesson experience around that. Percussion/Drumming is a unique instrument or set of instruments that lends itself to so many different genres and musical spheres, which makes the trajectory of our specific lessons unique. Almost every student will learn the basics of rudimental drumming and learning basic notation but what keeps students engaged and wanting to practice is playing something that they enjoy and want to play.

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Music

When teaching my students, my lessons are relaxed and informal, with a focus on building basic knowledge that will be applicable throughout the musical journey- however, I also pride myself in helping my students enjoy music as well, and have the capabilities to record their playing. This not only builds confidence but is an invaluable source of feedback that I find is often overlooked. As early as possible, I try to have my students play along to either a cover song or play along with me, in order to develop skills on the instrument that are practical, meaningful, and fun. Read More
