"I have a BA in music from UC Berkeley and a certificate in fusion guitar studies from Berklee College of Music. I have been teaching private guitar lessons for over twenty years and am in my 11th year as director of the music program at a prestigious independent school in the Bay Area. I have experience teaching students from ages 8 to 80 in the classroom and in one-on-one settings.

As a guitar teacher, I am an expert in fretboard logic and can quickly develop your skills as an improviser and soloist. As a theory teacher, I can help you understand the Western tonal system, and study for AP music theory exams and all university-level music theory classes. As a musicianship teacher, I can supercharge your practice routine, sharpen your skills, and to play in your band or ensemble with more musical impact and power." less...
