Danny Chapa

I specialize in teaching students how to truly play with others—whether it's jamming in a casual setting or performing in a band. With a strong focus on improvisation, groove, and musical communication, I help guitarists and bassists of beginner to intermediate levels unlock the skills needed to connect musically with others in real time.

My lessons blend the expressive freedom of jam-based music and jazz with solid foundational techniques applicable to any genre—from rock and funk to blues, soul, and more. I also offer comprehensive instruction in bass guitar, focusing on rhythm, feel, and the essential role of the bass in group settings.

In addition to instrumental instruction, I teach music production and recording using Ableton Live. Students learn how to capture their ideas, arrange tracks, and produce high-quality electronic or hybrid music from scratch. Whether you’re looking to improve your musicianship, start recording yourself, or perform live electronic sets, I provide a personalized and modern approach to music education.

Lessons are tailored to each student's goals and designed to inspire creativity, confidence, and collaboration.
