Lesson Details

I'm a laid back instructor that likes to take the student's musical interests into deep consideration. However, I hold my students to their goals and expect them to accomplish what they have set out to do.

About

I started my musical career soon after I picked up the guitar at the age of
thirteen. Shortly after gaining proficiency on my instrument, I began composing
short classical guitar pieces and made arrangements of popular Christian songs for the
guitar. My performing and compositional talents have inspired me to write for the
guitar. I hold a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Composition and a
Master’s of Music in Guitar Performance from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
During my ... studies I received the Reed Holmes Memorial Award for
Composition and was a finalist in the University of Texas at San Antonio 10th and 11th
Annual Concerto and Aria Competitions and an Honorable Mention in the El Paso
Symphony Guild Concerto Competition. I'm also a member of the Phi Kappa Lambda
Music Honor Fraternity, Golden Key International Honor Society and the 2001
US/Mexico Guitar Orchestra. I have had the pleasure to participate in masterclasses with world-renowned
classical guitarists such as David Russell, Pepe Romero, Sergio Assad and William
Kanengeiser. Additionally,
I have premiered compositions for the Society of Composers Incorporated
and have taught music theory and guitar at the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, St.
Phillip’s College, University of the Incarnate Word, Concordia Lutheran School, and
Baldwin Academic and Fine Arts Magnet Middle School in Montgomery, Alabama
where I directed the Baldwin Electric Guitar Ensemble, and Banjo Band.
