“My goal as a teacher is to help inspire and equip my students with all the tools necessary, for their complete and individual creative expression."
For over a decade, I’ve had the pleasure to connect with passionate musicians from around the world and help them on their path. Right now I am accepting new students, weekly/bi-weekly, or one-off lessons. Please use the form below to get in contact and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

COMMON TOPICS
TECHNIQUE
In my experience, technique is there for us to help us avoid injury, and to help bring our ideas to life. This pursuit can further our range of self expression, as well as allow us safe and consistent playing, for years to come. We will assess your individual needs, and work together to build a “self-diagnosed” approach that allows you to overcome obstacles in the future. Various techniques I use, and have experience teaching include (but not limited to): Alternate Picking, Sweep/Economy styles of Picking, Hybrid/Finger picking, ‘Swybrid’ , Legato, String Skipping, Tapping, Bending, Vibrato, Muting.
MUSIC THEORY
Music is a form of language, and to be able to write well in a certain language, requires an internalization of the mechanics and vocabulary. It's my aim to teach students the elements of music, in a musical and applicable way. Some topics covered include: Scales, Modes, Harmony, Intervals, Ear Training, Rhythm - and for guitar, various scale systems (1,2,3,4 note per string scales), the CAGED system, notes of the fretboard, voicing, visualization, will be covered.
IMPROVISATION VS COMPOSITION
To me, improvisation and composition are two sides of the same coin, with the sole difference that improvisation is done in real time. Developing a musical ecosystem that seamlessly combines musicality, creativity, technique, and knowledge, will help us bring what we hear in our head, to reality.
As an artist, I do believe it is important to use creativity as often as possible. It's my hope that with lessons, you find an easier time creating the music you hear in your head.
