Silver Sound Lessons
About
I'm a graduate from Berklee College of Music. I graduated as a guitar principle with a major in Film Scoring and minors in video game scoring, and music recording & production.
Ive worked as a composer and sound designer, a score copyist, orchestral mockup artist, studio guitarist, score programmer and as a music tech. My wide range of experince will allow me to help you improve, whatever your goals.
During my time at Berklee i worked as a peer trainer, teaching over 300 one-one-one lessons in all things music tech and production. Im very comfortable working with a wide range of students, from complete beginner to the more experienced.
I enjoy find that "click" or " OH! I get it!" moment. Everyone is unique and as a result of that uniqueness, all students will come to an understanding of the subject in a different way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to spend time figuring out why they have signed up for lessons, what are their long and short term goals. Are there just a few specific things they want to learn, or do they want to understand everything.
Some students enjoy more of a crash course; a series of tips, and tricks to get them to a more immediate goal. Others really want to understand the 'why' of things, and that requires a little more time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2017 and have since then worked for many composers in LA in various roles.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
It depends on the type of lessons.
Guitar lessons start at $30 for a half hour.
Tech and composition lessons start at $45 for a half hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I sort of fell into it, I enjoy helping others undestand topics that were previously intimidating to them.
What types of students have you worked with?
For guitar lessons I've worked with young kids up through adults in their fourties. Tech and composition lessons are usually highschool to college aged students but I have occasionally taught adults interested in learning how to record and make their own music inside of a DAW.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Really think about why, and what it is you want to learn. If you are looking to hire a guitar teacher, make a list of your favorite songs and artist. Knowing who your idols and inspirations are allows me to create a much better roadmap.
The same thing applies to tech or music lessons. What has inspired you to purusue this specific field or hobby.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Basically the same thing as listed above.
Create a list of your why's and your inspiriations. If I know who you love to listen to, what inspires or inspired you to pursue music, it will make it so much easier to help create your map to move towards those goals.
