Teaching and Mentorship
Serious about taking your musicianship to the next level? At my studio in North Hollywood you'll dive into the foundations of music and learn what it takes to be a professional today. You will develop your own unique feel behind your instrument, as my programs are uniquely crafted to match the goals of each student. I typically work with players no younger than 12 and up through adults, although exceptions can be made for kids younger than 12 who are highly proficient and motivated. We cover a broad range of topics - ear training, technique, music theory, reading music, recording, chops, and advanced time signatures - applications stretch across all genres and settings of music. With over a decade of international performing experience, you receive practicality in my instruction and mentorship that is rarely found in music education. Even if your goal is not to become a professional, you will see results quickly with a customized practice regimen. For older, more advanced individuals pursuing a professional career, I also cover subjects such as music business, production, music direction, solo-entrepreneurship, and navigating the politics of working and networking in Los Angeles.
Are you a band that needs a space to rehearse/record, and wants mentorship and feedback?

I will mentor you and/or your band, assist with arranging and musical direction for you, and importantly teach you how to be professionals and get ahead. I will show you how an efficient rehearsal is supposed to go, and coach each of your members into being better performers and better humans. You'll learn how to get better performances out of yourself, and you'll learn how to navigate the business world as an artist as well.
Your band rehearses once per week at my studio, under my guidance, and you get to hear and analyze recordings of your rehearsal performances.
