About
- Teaches students:
- Ages 5+ and special needs
- Teaching since:
- 2012
I have been playing guitar, piano, bass, ukulele and drums for 11 years now (teaching for 7 years - Acoustic & Electric). As a child I started playing pop music, then I became obsessed with classic rock music (Guns & Roses, Iron Maiden, ACDC, etc). Soon after I started playing a lot of Modern Rock and Metal music. Then in my 20's I started to play blues and jazz as a means to learn advanced concepts in music and fell in love with the guitar all over again. At the age of 21 I went to Berklee College of Music where I studied composition and music production for four years.
I am confident that I have the skills and resources to teach anyone from a beginner to an advanced musician.

Write a ReviewVery good instructor. Continually brings new material and assigns follow up work that helps my son improve and learn bass guitar.
He was patient and amazing at the art of teaching. He knew how to teach guitar at grassroot level basics and it was awesome that a person with that level of skill was so good at teaching a beginner.
Amazing guitar teacher! Would highly recommend him! Taught me about music theory and production too!
