Expert Music Instruction Tailored for You

Helloooo! I have been teaching music for 20 years: guitar, drums, piano, bass, and more. I teach many different genres, music theory as well as band etiquette and general knowledge of music on different levels: song writing, how to read music, music history, technique, knowledge of instruments, culture, recording, mixing, etc.

I teach at my studio in Spring Valley, lessons are also available at Moze guitar in downtown La Mesa, and I even go to students’ homes if that works best. I teach all ages and all levels, but specifically I am looking for people interested in drums, bass, or piano. I won’t turn an interested guitar player away though. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am just currently teaching many guitar players and would like more drum, bass, and piano students, so I can set up more groups as bands for recitals.

If you or your loved ones are interested in music lessons, please reach out. I have brought a lot of joy and growth to people over the years through music.

I also teach classical guitar and classical piano, so if being in a band isn’t your goal I can still help you on your solo journey, classical or as a singer/songwriter.

Interested in learning or developing piano skills?


I taught David and his 4 siblings for years. He was creative and started writing his own piano songs in middle school, so I helped him arrange a few of his originals, added drums, and we recorded them years later when he was on winter break from college.

I taught Corbin for over a year. I was in a band with his dad, so we had Corbin play a couple songs with us at a gig and the crowd loved it. He did Don’t You Forget About me from Simple Minds and Forgot About Dre from DR Dre and Eminem.


Interested in learning or developing skills on the bass, drums, or piano?Here are some videos from the last two recitals I setup:

Here are some personal recordings to showcase the wide range of musical abilities I have to share.


I played all the guitar parts, sang backups, and helped arrange these tracks with this artist and dear friend, Jackslacks:

I am passionate about music, whether it’s playing it, teaching it, or learning it. I’m great at what I do and I am great with people. If you’d like to explore learning an instrument then please reach out. Or, if you know someone that could benefit from learning an instrument please send them my way. Thank you for your time. ๐Ÿ™‚
