Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I was born into a musically inclined family, and I decided to be the first to take it to a professional level. I started on piano with songs from games and films I enjoyed, but I always tried to come up with something of my own. During high school, I joined the marching band on alto saxophone and taught myself to play and read music. I was section leader for 2 years. Read More

I'm an extremely dedicated and passionate performing artist, composer, and instructor with a BM in Jazz Studies from the USC Thornton School of Music. I love all aspects of playing, teaching, and writing music, but my favorite part is sharing my passion with others and watching a similar passion grow in themselves. I have been playing saxophone for about 12 years, flute and clarinet for 7, and drums and piano for the past 3 years (so I can only accept beginning drum and piano students.) I love all types of music and will work with you on any genre you want to work on while improving your overall facility on your instrument! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I've been a passionate musician all my life. Ever since my Nana bought me a mini electric piano when I was 3 ears old, it's been a staple of my life ever since. I studied guitar and piano all through out grade school and high school and continued my music education into college. I studied production, jazz, and theory at JJC of Illinois before transferring to DePaul University. I moved to L.A to perform and have been here for the past year teaching music at the West Coast Music Academy of Santa Clarita. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
Typically, I favor using traditional curriculum for beginning students (Alfred, Faber, Bastian). As a student progresses we typically incorporate Clemeneti sonatinas and the students favorite pop/modern songs. When a student achieves an advanced level of difficulty curriculum is purchased depending on the student's goals, college aspirations, and learning objectives. I typically administer a Classical Method of education, whether in private lessons or the classroom. It is my hope that time in my classroom encourages dialectic conversation and reaps gains in every learning situation. Read More

My experience learning music by ear, theory, intuition, and sheet music on many different instruments has given me a strong background to adapt to the needs of any student. So, regardless of skill level, I like to discuss any songs, artists, and styles that the student might be drawn to. Whether the student wants to focus on sheet music like Alfred Music or Hal Leonard, theory lessons and exercises, or develop their intuition and ear, I'm excited to cater the lesson plan to you.

I'm a passionate instructor who loves sharing my knowledge with others. I recently obtained my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the California State University of Los Angeles. I have been training professionally as a guitarist for seven years. I have mostly performed classical guitar, but I have also been able to perform other genres while applying my classical guitar knowledge. I recently performed with my college's guitar ensemble in Armenia, and I have also had solo performances during my time in college. Read More

A multi-instrumentalist, Feef played every instrument on her last album, The Last of the Cartoon Vagabonds, with some assistance from drummers Jamie Douglass and Adam Steinberg, and mixer Matt Forger, chronicling the adventures of eccentrics and misfits in a world full of danger, intrigue and longing. Feef has performed in church sanctuaries, the subways of Boston, London, New York, and entertaining audiences in small Scottish, English and Irish pubs, major music venues across the West Coast, and in major concert halls in the UK.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision I wish I would have made sooner. Being a musician isn't just a career, but a full on life style. The sooner you commit to this life style the more fully you can experience it. Becoming a performance level musician takes time and commitment unlike anything else. I was never encouraged to be a musician because my family was not musical and did not understand the prospect of playing or teaching music as a profession outside of recording hit singles and touring stadiums. It took me well into adulthood to realize that there are other and more realistic ways to make a living through music such as teaching, performing in a small touring band, or a successful local band, and possibly working as a session musician in a studio, jazz, classical, or wedding ensemble.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Coincidentally enough if I was not playing and teaching music I think I would want to be a school teacher instead. I really do love sharing my knowledge with curious individuals and working one on one with students to see them develop. I've always been very interested in history and reading especially so it would equally be a joy to share these interests with thirsty minds as well. Some times I even consider going back to school to become a teacher for a full time day job where I would still have nights, weekends, and summers off to focus on my art.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Since I started I've always played some kind of rock music. First classic and alternative rock and now primarily a new style people call "jam". Jam music roots from 60s psychedelic rock especially the Grateful Dead and Alman Brothers Band, but also such popular acts as Pink Floyd, Big Brother and The Holding Company, and Jimi Hendrix as well as more contemporary and eclectic influences such as electronic, hip hop, funk, world, and jazz. The main feature of "jam" music is it's incorporation of improv and fluid transitions between pieces and styles to create a unique musical mosaic each performance. I prefer this style because it incorporates a wide range of influences from other styles of music I like while expressing genuine emotion in the moment more passionately then other current genres.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I've been saying for years now I want to do a cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine on you Crazy Diamonds". Pink Floyd have always been a major influence on my playing and thinking since my father first introduced them to me as his favorite band when I was a child. Since then this has probably become my favorite piece of theirs. It's a multi-movement psychedelic rock symphony starting from the depths of the void and taking listeners on an other worldly sonic journey through time and space guided by the piercing vocality of David Gilmore's guitar tone. The piece is incredibly cinematic in a sense and truly the peak of what I believe modern music is cable of.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to start by warming up, which really every player should. My routine includes scale exercises to practice fretting, intervals, finger dexterity, and reach as well as a variety of diatonic chord and strumming exercises to practice rhythm in different time signatures and styles including basic funk, reggae, and jazz patterns. Next I'll often move on to scale and solo work by practicing with TABs, recordings, and new scale charts. Finally I move on to song work and improv developing original material and solo ideas for my band or else practice on nights it is scheduled.
