I will base my teaching on the student's favorite music, and break it down so they can understand how it works and be able to play it themselves. I will also teach some fundamental principles that will allow them to navigate their guitar, including chord theory and scales so they can have a better understanding of the music they love. Guitar is my main instrument and I have a formidable knowledge of jazz theory which allows me to learn most music by ear and teach a student how it works.

My bass guitar lessons will be centered around the principles of traditional harmony and how they can be used to create a bass line and how they are used in the music we know and love.

I've been playing drums for 10 years. My lessons will be centered around listening to the music the student is interested in, and breaking it down so they can emulate it on their kit. I will focus on the principles of rhythm and timing, as they relate to recordings.

My song writing lessons will be based on the rules of harmony and how we can use chord families, scales and modulations to create original music. In addition, I will ask the student about the music they enjoy and beak it down so they can understand the underlying musical structure, as well as the lyrical content. I can explain many popular ways of writing music ranging from the blues to pop progressions, to r & b and even more advanced, bebop and other types of jazz.

I've been working on Logic Pro X for about 5-6 years. My production lessons will guide the student every step between an initial idea for an original recording/track, to using plugins, virtual instruments, audio interfaces and microphones to build a track within the DAW, and even mixing and engineering.
