I began teaching private lessons in college and continued to teach one on one lessons and larger group lessons for the next several years. The key to success in lessons is to practice at home and come ready to learn and have fun! Anything worth doing will come with challenges and hard work, and there are few things and gratifying as learning to sing or playing an instrument!

My methods of teaching are primarily based on the individual. Within the first lesson, I make an assessment of the individuals musical abilities, and document the genres of music that interests the student. I then create a curriculum based on that assessment, which includes music theory, building repertoire (including music that interests the student), and music history/literature. I also encourage the student to engage in music competitions/auditions and student recitals. Read More

I started playing when I was 13 and have mastered several instruments since. My forte is electric bass guitar, although I can also teach electric guitar to an advanced level.

I studied in the bass guitar program winning the top bass scholarship that is given out at the school, earning my A.A. I have played with many bands, and have recorded in famous Los Angeles recording studios, and I have also toured the country. Read More

After trying various methods and books I have determined that each student has to be treated like an individual, and that we have to create our own book. I try not to teach one method or way for each student. My main goal is to have to student have fun, learn something, and steadily progress. I try to figure out from the start what music moves the student and to get them on track towards being able to play like that. Read More

If you wish to educate, you must inspire first. Each student is encouraged to proceed at a pace that is suited to their aptitude, goals, schedule and drive.

To inspire, instruct, and enjoy music is the mesaage the teacher should be imparting to the student. Read More
