WHAT I OFFER
I teach piano, guitar, music production and music theory courses to students of all ages. Lessons are available virtually or in person in the LA area. For scheduling and prices, please reach out to me via the contact page and we'll find a time to chat over the phone!
PIANO
I like to start beginners with a holistic approach to the piano. We learn the notes and how they combine to create harmony. We then apply this knowledge to songs, and learn from there. I remember dreading traditional books as a kid and I hope my creative approach conjures feelings of excitement about something that should be fun!
​
For non-beginners, I evaluate my student's skill level and come up with the best course of action to improve their playing.
GUITAR
For my guitar students, I like to start beginners off at a few different places: open position chords, power chords, and single note melodies. As we strengthen each of these areas, they begin to converge and overlap. I like to use a current selection of songs that gets my students excited to play. Even the simplest of songs offers a learning experience to build our playing vocabularies.

MUSIC PRODUCTION
I like to design each lesson around a foundational skill. We will look at some of my own completed tracks before diving into project oriented lessons where students produce their own songs or beats. Lessons available in both Logic Pro and Ableton.
MUSIC THEORY
Perhaps my favorite subject, music theory is an invaluable tool for musicians. It offers a framework for better understanding your favorite songs/pieces and can provide guidance when writing your own music as well. My music theory is continually evolving the more I learn and play!
