About
Piano and guitar lessons are held in Dan the Piano Man's shop studio which is comforting to both me and my students. Know that you are walking into a professional, clean, and welcoming environment with a piano that is always in tune!
I have been a musician for 15 years, currently teaching both piano and guitar while finishing my AFA at SFCC. From there I will continue at a 4 year college for music education. Dr. Rosi Guerrero at SFCC has encouraged me to teach piano and has given me her full support.
I enjoy being a part of someone's musical journey and knowing that not only are they learning from me, but that I am learning from them.

I taught myself guitar and am working towards my AFA at SFCC. My goal is to obtain my Masters in Music.

How did you get started teaching?
Dr. Rosi Guerrero at SFCC has consistantly encouraged to teach and offered her 100% support. I started teaching guitar this summer and have availability for more students in both guitar and piano.
Thanks to Dan the Piano Man's, I now have a wonderful piano and studio to offer piano lessons! I was hesitant before because I lacked a quality piano in my home.
