Owner/Operator
Apr, 2006 - PresentGuitar Academy
This has to be my favorite place on the planet. It's where my students come to learn and play music. I have the best job in the world!
Music Director
Aug, 2000 - Nov, 2011North Hills Preparatory School
I loved this job. North Hills Prep was a LAUSD alternative school that dealt with "at risk youth". Most of our kids were struggling with addiction, ADHD or asbergers to name a few. I was so happy to be a part of helping these kids turn their lives around with the power of music. The classes I taught were: music ensemble, songwriter/recording workshops, music appreciation and music theory. Sadly, the school was closed in 2011 due to state budget cuts. I'd still be there if NHP was still open...the little school that could!
