As a life long musician, I have spent many years going through trails and errors to learn the instruments I play. This has given me a birds-eye view of the learning process, and helped to give me a strong set of tools that I can use to help others along their path of learning. My life in music has given me so much joy and wonderful experiences, it is really an honor for me to share the knowledge with those wanting to learn.

Although I have a lot of experience in professional settings (I've toured throughout the US and in Mexico, been hired for studio recordings, and produced songs for other artists), I like to keep the learning process fun and interesting. Not everyone has the same goals, so lessons for each student are customized depending on what you want to get out of it- Whether you are looking to learn how to play some of your favorite songs for fun, or if you want to take your musicianship to the next level, I'm here to help :)

In addition to music, I also enjoy...

My name is Andrew, and I’ve been teaching guitar for nearly seven years. My experience is quite broad, ranging from private teaching to group lessons at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital. I've had experience performing in many different disciplines including rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop, finger-style acoustic guitar, and practically anything else in between. To give you an idea of what I listen to, some of my favorite artists include Radiohead, The Beatles, Nick Drake, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Chopin and the Gorillaz. Much of my teaching experience has been supervising student bands, so I'd be happy to help out with any sort of bands or projects you may be working with! I'm also an avid composer, so I can help you out with any songs you may be writing.

My teaching style has an emphasis on improvisation, rhythm, and playing with other people (among other things). I've been a rock and roller my whole life, and have played in countless bands. One of...

I have been a musician for over 20 years. I have a BA in Music & Sound Recording, and am equally comfortable in the studio as I am on the stage. I currently lead my own band which plays all original music and I have released two CDs of my own music, in addition to playing and recording with many local acts. I also write, record and produce music for TV and movies. Let's just say I wear a lot of hats.

I love music, and surround myself with it at all times. There are very few styles that I don't like or don't listen to, and I try to stay current as much as I can. I play a number of different instruments besides the ones I teach, including harmonica, piano, organ, drums and percussion. I also have been singing for as long as I can remember.

I believe anyone can be musical, even if you don't play an instrument. Music is everywhere, and we all tune into it, whether we know it or not. I hope that we can learn something about music and each other, then throw it all aside...

I've been playing various stringed instruments in different ensembles for the last 15 years. I studied electronic music composition and recording at UC Santa Cruz.

Hello Students and Parents!

I have been playing music for over 15 years and am currently playing/teaching mainly in the East Bay Area after receiving a bachelor's degree in Professional Music from the Berklee College of Music (2008-2012).

I'm very personable and friendly and love nothing more than sharing and listening to music.

Currently I am playing bass for Bay Area rock act Via Coma and am contributing guitar to several other acts. I also work as a "for hire" guitarist/bassist around the East Bay.

I've been fortunate enough to tour around the United States and have played several large festivals including the Vans Warped Tour, the Harley Davidson Music festival and Live 105's BFD.

I've also been fortunate enough to study with such esteemed musicians as Kenwood Dennard, Livingston Taylor, Michael Williams, Dave Fiuczynski, Dave Tronzo and many others.

I truly love all types of music from J.S. Bach to Metallica to Miles Davis to Radiohead and everything...

HI! I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Music, Science and Technology and then worked as an Audio Engineer at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford, where I recorded and produced a number of Grammy-nominated albums.
