Formal Education:

I will be completing my final semester at California State University, Stanislaus. I will be receiving a Bachelor's of Music with an emphasis in Jazz Studies. While at CSU Stanislaus I received a versatile education in classical and jazz music theory, classical and jazz music history, classical and jazz composition. I played jazz guitar in the big band and combo, plus I played in the guitar ensemble during my time at Stanislaus. As a requirement for graduation, I studied piano for 4 semester to pass the piano proficiency.

Private Education:

Over the 20 year span of guitar playing, I have studied in the following areas through private lessons: Rock, Classical, Jazz, Country, Blues, Folk, Composition, and Improvisation. I also studied piano for 2 years through private lessons.

Performing Experience:

Performance has been a part of my life since the age of 8. I got my start with performance through school band and church. When I got into high school, I joined the jazz band, jazz combo, and jazz vocal group. This is where I started to develop my jazz guitar skills. Rock music was another love of mine, so I started a rock band with some fellow high school peers and we played at high school events and local events around town. Once out of high school, I expanded in performing different types of music. I ventured into playing live theater music, country, blues, ska, punk, classical, various world music that included jewish, hispanic, south american, and african music. As of recently I have started playing in the casino circuit and I plan on going on the road to perform once I finish with my Master's degree.

Experience Teaching:

I got my start teaching private lessons at the age of 16. For 12 years I have tried to be the best teacher I could be with helping my students reach their full potential. When I was a senior at CSU Stanislaus, I directed a small jazz group for the school year 2. We would meet on a weekly basis and perform for school functions and concerts.
