I have been a musician as far back as I can remember, my earliest childhood memories are of my mother teaching me songs on our piano. I started playing bass as a young teenager. In high school I played in the varsity jazz band as well as neighborhood rock bands. After high school, I toured for several years with a cover band playing many different styles of music. I am currently an active musician in the Las Vegas music scene with my original band “The Bitters”, I also compose and record TV and radio commercials in my home studio.
I have always loved sharing my knowledge and passion for music. I first started teaching in the late eighties after returning from my years on tour as a professional musician. I taught bass and guitar in a local music store, while I continued to play the local circuit and do session work. I currently teach out of my home studio where I record my own projects as well as other bands.
I believe learning to play an instrument should be a fun and rewarding experience. For younger students who are just starting I use a beginning method book in conjunction with learning to play songs that interest them. For older and more experienced students I evaluate their present level and teach them what they need to achieve their musical goals.
I teach each student at their own pace, I do not move forward until the student has a firm grasp on the previous lesson. I believe in a strong foundation of basic musical skills. I structure each students lessons to meet their individual goals while keeping them engaged and excited about the process of learning.
