I have been playing bass and guitar since seventh grade. I have played in school’s jazz band, wind ensemble, string ensemble and chapel band. I have also been the bass player for St. Paul’s Lutheran church since my freshman year of high school. I have taught young beginners the basics of playing guitar and bass at St. Paul’s Lutheran school. My goal is to inspire students to do great things and be performers. I will go to great lengths to get my students the results they want. I will also attend Azusa Pacific University to study commercial music to further my musical ability and career. I am passionate for music and I strive to share my passion with others.

For beginners, I start with the basics. I will show the student the anatomy of the guitar or bass and how to care for it. After that, I will begin to teach basic techniques. I will show how to pluck the strings and fret the notes. Once the student has a grasp of those concepts, I will teach them basic chords and scales. I will also teach the student how to sight read because in my opinion it is one of the greatest skills a musician needs. When a student has got the basics down, I will begin to teach them songs of their choosing and recommend songs to learn. For more intermediate to advanced students, I will find their passion and see what they want to play. I will work to inspire them and get them to perform as much as possible. I understand that everyone learns differently, so I will make each student their own unique lesson plan in order to maximize learning.
