About
I understand that every student has their own needs and learns at their own pace, I am committed to helping each student set and achieve their own goals, I will push you to be the better player I know you can be, and I have years of experience doing it!
My qualifications include a Bachelors Degree in Jazz Guitar Performance (William Paterson University 2015), an Associates Degree in Music (Cabrillo College 2012), performance experience ranging from opening for Thundercat to a Christmas Concert with the New York Voices. I have a great ear and pick things up/improvise quickly and fluidly, I have spent 15 years studying music and the guitar and have a deep understanding of its intricacies and techniques, in school I excelled at theory and arranging, I have a practical knowledge of and have gigged on electric bass, upright bass, piano, and voice all of which contribute to my ability to give you a rich and indepth lesson.
While I am predominantly a performer who plays in and around Santa Cruz and the wider Monterey Bay area, thanks to the power of the internet you can gain all of my knowledge and skills from anywhere in the world!
