About
I am a film composer for Netflix, Vice, HBO as well as films. I also make music for ads like Apple, l’oreal, MasterCard and more! For teaching I focus on the student’s needs and strengths and don’t force them to learn anything they are not interested in. My students are here to learn to love music as we hope for longevity in their music making/playing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied at the conservatory of music in Silverlake, Los Angeles for 10 years. I am an accomplished film and tv composer as well.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
For an hour I usually charge anywhere from $40-$55.
