Overview:
I've done just about everything that can be done in the music business including teaching guitar and bass, managing bands, booking and promoting shows, and touring the country, and my true passion definitely is in teaching beginners! I opened my first music studio in 2007 where I was able to practice with, learn from, and teach some of the best musicians in town. Having access to so many wonderful people allowed me to learn many different styles of music as well as really understand what it takes to really succeed in the business.
EXPERIENCE
I started teaching guitar and bass in 2003 just a few years after the movie 'School of Rock' came out and I decided I wanted to do something different with my students -- I wanted to teach to them how to be in their own dedicated bands. I taught them to write their own songs and how to have stage presence while in group classes at the same as teaching each individual band member their specific instrument in private lessons before or after band class. After a short period of time I had several groups of 10 to 12 year old kids playing major venues all over San Diego!
METHODS USED
I've found that the most effective way to teach fundamentals is to do it within the context of my students' favorite songs. This provides instant gratification as the student is able to play something they know and like while at the same time they're learning the techniques they'll need for more complicated challenges in the future. For younger students who haven't developed their own taste in music yet I introduce them to songs of many different styles so that they can start to determine where they want to go musically in the future.
LESSON STYLE
Lessons need to be fun but at the same time the student needs to feel like they're making real progress. What I do is slow down whatever we're working on to a manageable pace for the student then slowly speed things up in a way that is comfortable for the student while at the same time providing new challenges and goals for the student to work toward. If the student is willing I also give the student the opportunity to perform live in front of their friends and family in real shows at real venues around town. This is a great motivator for not only practicing but making sure they're really mastering what they're learning.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
