I have been teaching prviate music lessons in since 2008. Currently I am only teaching remotely. I currently teach piano, percussion, voice, theory, conducting, and eartraining. Several of these will overlap during a student's curriculum over the years. I also strongly encourage students to listen to music frequently and see live performances when they are able. I incorporate music history and music theory into many lessons as well. When I am not teaching private music lessons, I work as the advanced music theory instructor and general music faculty at Cabrillo College. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Organ
For beginner students who are pursing music on the tonal instruments, I typically start with learning the names of the notes on the instrument and the major scale in every key as it relates to the piano. For the bass guitar I start of with basic finger strength techniques and exercises while incorporating the major scale fingering form and Nashville numbering system for all tonal instruments. For voice, I start off by finding the range of the individual and then teaching warmup techniques while building the individuals technique through finding a song and learning how to sing along.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Synthesizer Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching private lessons a year ago and have been consistently teaching private lessons at students' homes and in my home studio since then. I've discovered that focusing on students' own interests and love for music generates fun, engaging and rewarding lessons for them. Repetition and a consistent practice schedule is easier for students to continue when lessons are focused on developing the aspects of music that they love, or building skills that take them closer to their interests.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to be a professional musician when I was at my first Battle of the Bands in high school. I saw those guys up on stage and said "yea, I want to do that."
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my family definitely encouraged me to play around on all sorts of instruments while I was growing up. From trumpet, drums, and piano, to guitar and singing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to listen to Australian singer songwriters and really started to love the sound of the Didgeridoo, which is an instrument native to the aboriginal cultures in Australia. I started to learn how to play it and have been hooked ever since.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really like bluesy funk. It is high energy, danceable, and feels good. I also really like folk/songwriting because of the stories and messages told through the songs.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I want to play at the Fillmore in San Francisco because so many bands that I love and adore have played there. It is such a historic spot!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Staying relaxed yet focused while playing. It can be challenging to not tense up while playing, and it can be challenging to not over think while playing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Forming a touring band that has shared the stage with many great bands and music artists! I am also proud of cutting two self produced EP albums.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My family inspired me to play on instruments as a young boy.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The moment I picked up a guitar I was hooked. I just really like the strings, wood, and mobility of the instrument. It is a very compatible instrument for composing music and songs
When will I start to see results?
Results can occur after one lesson. Consistent practice is important for maintaining and excelling skills.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up and play first. Then I stretch my hands and fingers. Then I break open a practice routine that I have been working on and getting comfortable with for about a week. Next I practice something new to keep me pushing forward.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have picked up an instrument and express consistent interest in it. Maybe they have been playing but are getting discouraged or uninspired due to a "plateau" in knowledge or ideas to practice and play.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do it every day (or 5-6 days a week), in a place where you can focus, and do it for an achievable amount of time. Bite size practice sessions are key. Setting a timer is very helpful. Once you get comfortable with a certain amount of practice time, start to extend your time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician I would be working with plants, as an organic farmer or in a greenhouse. And I would also make art in some other form like painting.
