Contigo Music Lessons
About
Multi-instrumentalism is the focus!
Playing multiple instruments is not only normal these days, but it's a necessary component of writing your own music.
Whether you're learning your first, second or 15th instrument- Making the most of your musical time is at the heart of our one on one lessons.
I love helping students make music fun and easy. Cultivating a love of listening and musicianship is a truly the most rewarding aspect of teaching.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Week 1 we define our goals and objectives- as well as the basics of the instrument and practice habits.
Weeks 2-4 we assess if our methods are producing expected results.
Week 5 we perfect our approach.
Week 6 we perform/record our work!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taught drum lessons privately since I was 16. The most comprehensive musical program I helped institute was an after school music introduction course at a local Montessori school.
I have studied as a General Music Major at the University of Arizona for a brief period.
I also was a part of a Phoenix based music education Non-Profit called EduMusication during a few tours in 2018/19 as performer and guest education.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The monthly tuition rate is $250 for in-person lessons. This includes weekly one-on-one lessons, as well as all materials, and up to 3 make-up videos.
Online lessons are 'pay-what-you-can,' based on your specific situation.
How did you get started teaching?
The first lessons I taught were to drummers that I played with, either in the drumline I marched, as well as the rock and blues bands that I played with.
I started teaching guitar, bass, harmonica, etc, after a period of volunteering with a local music school during their Summer Rock Camp.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students as young as 5 and as old as 73, as well as students with special needs and learning disabilities.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently I've been meaning to check out an Out-Door Open Mic that is being hosted at Reid Park. It sounds like an amazing idea in light of recent restrictions limiting live musical performances.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Consider that lessons require a subtle shift in life-style in order for your new found music ability to blossom.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do I want to be able to do that I currently cannot?
Do I have time everyday to listen to music?
Do I have the ability to record video/audio on my phone/tablet/computer?
