    Lesson Details
    The first lesson will be an evaluation of the students current skill level and desired goals. We'll choose an area of focus and create a road map with benchmarks, performing musical examples of new knowledge. Students will be required to practice and complete homework to present at the next lesson. My style of teaching is patient. I am passionate about challenging students to be the their best while encouraging them to enjoy the process and have fun. .

    I've been teaching guitar & bass privately for six years. I also teach Logic/Garageband and song writing. I've been a music director in a circus, which includes teaching and directing musicians. I have played and currently perform in many bands throughout Europe and the U.S. (Lisa Marie Presley, and grunge era bands that have opened for Nirvana, Marilyn Manson and more). I have composed music for MTV, Comedy Central, Cheech & Chong to name a few.
