I have 15 years of experience teaching private, one-on-one lessons and 25 years of experience as a guitar player. In addition to teaching private lessons, I was a faculty member at Allegro Musique, I.C.M and Melocad/Universal Music in Paris France from May 2009-Jan 2014 where I taught guitar electric and acoustic, as well as band classes.
I have a passion for teaching and love passing on the knowledge that was given to me through years of studying and performing. I hold a degree of Music from the Music Academy International in France (The best music school in Europe)and have been an active member of the Paris music community since 2009 (recently move in LA).

I teach students of all ages and abilities from complete beginner to intermediate and advanced players. I have an easy-going, relaxed personality and I strive to create a fun and welcoming environment in lessons, while simultaneously encouraging my students to work hard and take their musical goals seriously. My aim in every lesson is to balance music theory and technical exercises with fun, hands-on guitar playing and performance.
