Upon graduating from high school, I started teaching bass lessons when possible and quickly fell in love with teaching. I specialize in taking a practical approach to teaching, where there is more emphasis on the instrument as it tends to keep students interested and motivated through the difficult early stages. I personally invest myself into each student and strive to help them reach their own personal musical goals. It is important to have mutual trust and friendship in the teaching process and I believe I do a very good job at making students comfortable in a healthy learning environment. The only limit to your musical growth is the work you put in, and I will be there every step of the way on your journey!

I believe in treating music as a language: when learning language, you are never chastised for struggling with words, but are actually encouraged to practice and communicate with everyone possible. I try to make a custom curriculum for each individual student, but I usually cater to broader skill level groups. For beginners, I try to make the learning of fundamentals fun and engaging, while giving context to the things that interest them. For advanced players, I incorporate my own unique technical play style (Spanish style) and introduce techniques from some of the great players of the world.
