Mandolin Lessons in Montebello. Amazing Teachers.

In teaching lessons, it is my great pleasure to share with students of all ages and skill levels the knowledge that I've gained over 27 years of playing. I firmly believe that anyone can learn anything at any time, given the proper tools!

In our first lesson, we will determine your musical goals and create a realistic path to achieving them. It's my job to help you along this path while keeping things fun.

To maintain focus and week-to-week continuity, I always provide lesson notes to take home. I can also provide recordings of lessons and transcriptions of pieces, if desired.

I've been playing mandolin for 9 years. I began my studies with Sharon Gilchrist, a former member of the Dixie Chicks! I teach folk, classical, bluegrass, jazz, blues, pretty much anything your heart desires! Feel free to bring me material that you really want to learn. I offer an open space for my students to explore whatever they like.
