Music Lessons in Costa Mesa, CA. It's your time.

Are you looking to exceed your own wildest expectations of yourself? Curious about singing better? Ever considered voice lessons? Have you ever wanted to feel more confident with your sound? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, it's time to explore this new opportunity! As a teacher, I lead my lessons with a gentle approach, whether you are a beginner or advanced musician. I am a recent graduate of Azusa Pacific University and earned my Bachelor's in Music: Vocal Performance. With a fresh mind & pursuing my Master's degree, I can teach with confidence. It will always be at your own pace and at your own time. I'm always listening to those I teach in the most positive of lights, but still maintaining a discerning eye over the music you will create. Hiring me as a teacher, I will be working to the best of my ability to display and exemplify what I believe it means to be a good musician. I'm passionate about what I do, and I want to show you exactly why.

I begin where ever the student is, Either if it's at day one, or learning a blues song we will jump into it and fun learning whatever it is that the student wishes to learn. All I ask for is 30 minutes everyday for the student to keep learning what we have set out to learn.

Classical, fingerpicking and Mexican rhythms.

lessons will focus on whatever skills the student is interested in learning. I can help with all aspects of trumpet playing: efficiency of playing, tone quality, range, endurance, improvisation, tonguing, etc. I can teach everyone; from absolute beginners through musicians that are serious about pursuing trumpet as a career.

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years in styles ranging from rock to jazz to classical. My approach to teaching focuses on developing efficient technique that can adapt to multiple styles of playing.

Ukulele is a newer instrument to me, but I have been teaching and performing for over 8 years now. I have played music since age 5 starting with violin and later guitar, which I studied at Berklee College of Music. Uke became a recent passion as I formed an acoustic duo of cello and ukulele (and singing) called DvOd that has performed all over the NW and released a CD. I provide a core curriculum of basic technique and music knowledge, combined with customizing to the student's interest. From Traditional Hawaiian to Eddie Vedder to Jake Shimabukuro, I can help you learn your favorites.
