Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have been teaching private lesson on and off since I was in college. I have taken the last few years off to complete my graduate education and begin my formal teaching career. I believe that encouraging my students to find fun in practice by choosing music that keeps the students interested. This means taking music from both the classical and popular repertoires. Read More

In addition to the recording and performing experience listed above, I've been a full-time private lessons instructor since 2010. I've taught at countless local schools, but found that the freedom of teaching completely independently (or, at most, through a referral program like Musika) can't be beat. The more of my *own* students I have, the more I can focus on each one, and the more time I have to plan out their progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin
I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I use the Faber Faber Piano Adventures series, and I also use the Music Tree as well. I enjoy other methods but mostly use them as supplementary material. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
Each of us as individuals are different; therefore each of us as musicians are also different. Therefore, I enjoy crafting a learning environment with each new student that meets them where they are and challenges them to grow in all areas of music. We need to develop technique, deepen expressive gestures, focus on phrasing and attention to musical detail and, of course, have fun! Regular practice and regular lessons unlock almost limitless possibilities inside each given piece of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard
Each student gets a chance to listen, write, read, and play music at every lesson. The emphases of lesson materials will depend on the student's goals, but each element of music is important in its own right. It is also crucial to listen to other genres and styles that may be out of the scope of the lesson. Music is a complex and wonderful creation, and there have been many contributions to it over many years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I've been teaching music, in some capacity, since I was 17 and captain of my highschool's drumline. In college I taught drumset lessons to students of all ages and in graduate school I taught a music theory course for 5 semesters as well as classical percussion to 6th - 8th graders. Getting to know my students, what they like and don't like, what they read and listen to, is one of my favorite things and I think it really helps engender a life long passion for music when a teacher takes a personal interest in the students lives.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most difficult things to master on guitar is speed, and relaxation, of playing. As the speed increases, it can be easy to tense up, which slows you down. Contrary to what one might assume, the road to fast and relaxed playing is through relaxed and slow practice. It takes a long time and one must be consistent, which is also a challenging habit to build.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Some of the most fun I've had in my musical journey is performing in a Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top tribute bands. My band mates were so fun to be around and we all loved the level of energy we brought to the venues we played in Southern California.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had many students go on to utilize their education in many ways. I've had a few students pursue their own music degree at university. I've also had students attend university for other majors, and they were able to utilize the music theory they learned to get easy A's in their general ed categories. These student had an easier time keeping a higher GPA and had more time to focus on the work of their more difficult classes. I've also had students form garage bands with their friends in high school and beyond!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
After playing classical piano, electric guitar, classical guitar, and violin, I finally found a style that suits my personality and passion in flamenco guitar. It was the "shoe that fit", so to speak. I love the exciting and unique sounds and techniques that are used, and I love introducing flamenco to people who have never heard the style before.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone learns at a different pace, but after a month students have generally become very comfortable with the basics and will be well on their way to mastering their first song.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My flamenco teacher is a big inspiration for me. His passion and love of the style is contagious, and his positive, excited, and encouraging attitude makes me feel very proud of my work. I love that he will play our material at full speed, and with his own style mixed in. Is like getting a short private concert every week!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids are sponges, and will be able to learn music very young. The younger they are, the more important it is to have a home environment filled with support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. If you're excited, they will be excited!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A good warmup routine that targets technique is essential. Practicing technique prepares you for any situation, rather than working on every individual song that you know, an impossible task when you know so many songs!
