Here is a little background on my music history… I began playing and performing music at a very young age. I started out on piano and clarinet as kid performing in my church band through my teens and into college. When I graduated high School from Humanities and Sciences Institute I received a music scholarship to Phoenix Community College. In college I continued my studies in piano and started playing guitar. I took many private lessons from local legends in the jazz and rock scene. I studied everything from music theory, electronic music, recording, music composition, music history and performed in the the college Pep Band during football games. I graduated with an AA in Music Performance in Piano and Guitar I began teaching privately at the local community center while in college and after graduating I was offered an instructor position at the Tempe School for the Arts teaching classes on beginning through advance guitar. I greatly appreciated the opportunity but after a year I decided I preferred the one-on-one interaction that private instruction offered. I went back to college at MCC and studied Jazz for two years. It really opened up my mind to different musical concepts and theory. I studied with a few amazing jazz musicians. Over the past 20 years I’ve taught at several amazing mom and pop music stores teaching private instruction in guitar, ukulele, bass, drums and piano. Currently I teach out of my Mesa home studio and Music Masters in Scottsdale. With all of these talented players I also began putting student rock bands together and we performed all over the valley. At one point I was rehearsing 8 student bands. It was hectic but so much fun! Click on this link to hear from our students!
