I started teaching private lessons at a music school in Los Angeles since 2009. I have been consistently teaching students at this music school for over 10 years. I Encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule because this is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress more rapidly and gain a passion for music and guitar. Getting students playing quickly is important and what I do best. I don't want them to get bogged down with information overload. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then they aren't learning! My students are encouraged to record their own compositions on video so I can post them on social media, and so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn. I love teaching kids and teens and do well at helping them succeed.

For novice students who are children, I typically start with small bite size lessons that I have honed over my career in teaching. I include a backing track that will be engaging. Once the student has grasped the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce songs that are easy to play. Video performances are highly encouraged. For teens, I try to find out what bands the student is interested in, to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I provide custom PDF's and Jam Tracks that will help you become more fluent as you progress.
