With four wonderful years of musical teaching experience, I share my gifts and talents with those who too want to express themselves through music. I believe music is worldwide language and so do not intend to stifle any students individual style or sound with technique. Instead I allow the student to take the lessons and techniques learned and together we find ways to adapt to that style so that their best 'musical picture' is heard.
Apart from teaching, I enjoy singing at my own gigs, doing backgrounds for other artists, and working on new music for production in the studio. I have produced my debut album in 2007 and have released two new singles marketed to the Caribbean/reggae/latin genre. I have directed elementary and middle school choirs and led the musicianship of musicals.
I believe if a student has their talent, dream, and enthusiasm packed in their backpack...then they are ready to start lessons.

Hello, I'm Brandon, and I have over twenty years experience performing guitar and bass guitar in churches, retreats, cafes, nightclubs, concerts, graduation ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and festivals. I am the sonic architect of the LIFE TEEN band at St. Gregory Catholic Church, and the cool cat bass guitarist for Project X. Sometimes I'm laying the foundation, and often adding the textures that have come to define the LIFE TEEN band and Project X sound since I joined the group. I am a natural at captivating audiences with my acoustic finger-picking style as well as my aggressive, frenetic, and always fun electric playing. You can hear me playing guitar every Sunday night at 6pm at St. Gregory Catholic Church in Plantation. I like to play acoustic rock like Taylor Swift, electric rock guitar like Black Veil Brides, and bass guitar like Red Hot Chili Peppers. Let me teach you how you too can be a rock star!

Singing is my passion! I began singing at 2 years old and started taking private voice lessons at 10 years old. I am currently in college for a degree in music, specifically commercial music (production, music business, composition) with an emphasis in voice. I am classically trained and perform in a wide variety of genres including pop, r&b, jazz, classical, rock, etc. I also have experience in the studio as a recording artist. I've performed with bands in various venues and events such as Y-100 jingle ball, hard rock, calle ocho, etc. I have a great deal of experience in the field of music and look forward to sharing it with my students!

I have been a rounded bass player for the past 13 years and a guitar/bass instructor for the past 7 years. Since I came to Florida back in 2003 my passion for authentic music has grown tremendously. I've been a member of the STM (Strong Tower Ministries) band, New Life Fellowship Band and now (2006 – present) I'm currently a member of the Living Word Christian Center Band. As I continue to develop my craft I have challenged myself to commence working on an album of my own and becoming an extraordinary bass player and soloist. Even though most of my background and experience is with gospel music (which includes all genre of music), I have been very fortunate to work in the studio alongside Jam Loud Entertainment and other artist in the music and entertainment industry.

With almost 10 years of secondary teaching experience, both in a charter and public school setting, I am confident in my ability to become an asset to your student's individual educational needs!

Hi, my name is Steve. I have been playing guitar for over 8 years and am the LEAD guitar player in a rock band called LOADED GUNS. I graduated from Miami Dade College with a degree in music education and have extensive experience touring all over the U.S. I specialize in ROCK and METAL guitar but am well versed in other styles such as punk, pop, indie and others.

I began playing guitar when I was fourteen years old starting with acoustic guitar and shortly there after began playing electric as well. My initial musical interests ranged from rock, classic rock, jam band, jazz, folk, bluegrass and acoustic artists. The styles of music I continue to explore are across the board. My interest in David Grisman and the eclectic style of music his band had the ability to play led me to begin playing the mandolin at the age of seven-teen. Collectively I have been playing music for 18.

Educationally I have studied music in various settings, exploring different styles, with different approaches. In the beginning I taught myself to read tablature and basic theory. After studying different styles and artists I took my formal music education a step farther while attending Florida State. Completing three music courses at the University, receiving an A in each, included the history of jazz 1 and 2 in addition to the introduction to music theory. The...

Professional guitarist/vocalist since 1976. Performed in Rock bands, Show Bands, Calypso bands, Jazz bands, and, yes, Wedding Bands. I have performed as a solo guitarist for wedding ceremonies, art shows, and other private functions. I have also performed on the violin and cello for wedding ceremonies as well.
Private guitar and bass instructor since 1984; Orchestral strings instructor since 1988.
My students benefit from my professional experience in that they focus directly on what is necessary as a performer and don't waste time on strictly theoretical exercises.
