Music in general, and piano in particular, are simply what I love the most in this world. After receive my PhD in piano execution in Barcelona, Spain (year 2000), I did spend several years in several countries in Europe, playing piano in multiple events, competitions and institutions (like RTV Ljubljana, Slovenia). During those years, I reaches the peak of my career as a pianist.

Almost 8 years ago, once I established myself here in US, I started to switch my time toward other careers (SW engineering, Videography, etc..) and activities that previously I could not pursue. This allowed me to start dedicating more time to classical composition and teaching, activities I barely had time for during my years as professional pianist back in Europe. Then is when I realized that teaching is the best way to truly share my love for this instrument and the amazing knowledge and techniques I was honored to receive during my 20+ years playing the piano.

Through my lessons, I want to first...

I'm an LA native, born and raised in the Pasadena area, and currently residing primarily in the Laguna Hills/Aliso Viejo area of Orange county. I have been playing guitar for over 18 years. Formerly a student of the piano, and tenor sax, once I found my way to the guitar and a Led Zeppelin album, I fell in love with the instrument on every level of it's capabilities, and eventually, with what it wasn't supposed to do (More on that during a lesson =})

I am a graduate of the LA music Academy in 2007, Citrus College's Audio Engineering Block program in 2001, and have a vocational degree in Music Theory. l have thoroughly studied not only the guitar, but the beauty and inner workings of music as a whole. In spite of all the education, I actually was self taught entirely by ear for my first 8 years, cutting my teeth by playing along to any record I could get my hands on, and by playing with other musicians in bands, and as a gun for hire. It's this background, with...

I have been teaching privately for over ten years with former students having moved on to study at the college level. My past teaching positions include Northwestern University (as instructor of Viola for non-music majors as well as the pre-college string academy), Salvation Army's Pioneer School of Music, and Mosaic School of Music.

I hold a Master of Music from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music from Chapman University. Additional summer studies took place at the prestigious Aspen Music Festival. My teachers have included such legendary pedagogues as Roland Vamos, James Dunham, Jeffrey Irvine, and Robert Becker. Earlier studies were with William Fitzpatrick and Stephanie Wan.

As a professional musician, I have performed with Pacific Symphony, Opera Pacific, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and numerous ballet, Broadway, and pop performances in Southern California's most prestigious venues. In the studios of Los Angeles, I have recorded for film, television, and...

I have been teaching adult, high school, middle school, and elementary school students both privately and in the public school system since 1999. I have taught at Laguna Beach High School, El Toro High School, and currently at Laguna Hills High School. I've also taught at La Paz Intermediate School and Mater Dei Music Academy.

I have been playing music for over fifteen years and have been teaching professionally for over five. I really enjoy teaching and performing and I have won awards in music composition. I have a BA in Education and have taken numerous music courses in my academic career including Harmony, Musicianship, Composition etc. I have also taught in all cities in South Orange County. I am 25, I live in Laguna Hills, and I have always done well with younger students because I can relate to them better than a lot of teachers from my experience. It's always nice to see the expression on students faces when they learn to play something they listen to and really wanted to learn. It's a skill that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. I specialize in electric and acoustic guitar including rock, pop, and folk music.

Teaching and playing guitar are two of my passions in life. When I picked up the guitar at a young age, I fell in love with it and was hooked. I grew up playing in Southern Orange County and attended Vanguard University where I studied music theory and Classical guitar. I play both acoustic and electric guitar, but I prefer shredding on the electric guitar! I take musicianship very seriously and believe in disciplining oneself in practicing your craft with efficiency.

I am a professional songwriter/producer that has been in the industry for over 10 years. With nearly a hundred licensed compositions in music catalogs with publishers like Universal Music, my experience as a recording and live musician have helped to distinguish what makes a truly great performance. I am an alumni of multiple recording programs and institutes, including the world renown Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, where I was awarded the distinction of Best Album in 2007. At MI, I built the foundation for all of the creative skills I have cultivated to this day. After beginning to record original music at the age of 14, now, at 27, I'm proud to say I'm an accomplished producer with a growing number of industry credentials.
As a guitar player of nearly 15 years and after honing my skills on stage as well as in recording studios, I've come to learn that great musicianship is less about just playing the right notes, and more about creating a deeper relationship to...

I have studied, performed and taught music for over 25 years. Accordion was my first instrument at age 7 followed by drums and guitar. I studied with great teachers in the past as well as at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. I have also performed at the Cape Cod Jazz Festival, The Bakersfield Jazz Festival and numerous club dates and private functions throughout New York, New England and Califomia.

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2012 with a degree in Music and in Economics.

I grew up in Colorado and got my Bachelor of Arts degree from CU. My main focus of studies was theatre arts, including acting classes, dance, musical theatre, voice, and music theory. I've been playing the piano since I was 8 and singing just as long. i spent years in LA, Las Vegas, Nashville and Austin "honing" my craft: singing with bands, songwriting, and doing musicals. I have also in the past few years learned to play the guitar and refreshed my piano skills (after a few years off). My proudest accomplishment now are my 2 CDs of all original music, both released in the last few years :) I am eager to teach all I've learned in the past to new students!
