I'm a 29 year old guitarist, singer and song writer. I've been playing guitar since I was 12 years old, about 17 years, singing 10 years and writing my own original music for 15 years. A major part of my guitar playing is based in improvisation and using songs that you learn in order to make up a new ideas or learn other songs with similar musical concepts on the guitar. I have taken a total of 5 years of private guitar lessons based in classical and Jazz music theory concepts, and I've taken a total of 3 years of private classical vocal lessons from 2018-current.

Performing Experience: I used to run an open mic circuit every week in North County SD for 1-2 years between 2, playing at venues like The Aztec Brewry in Vista, and what used to be the Glassless Minds open mic in Oceanside. I took MUS155A at MiraCosta college in Fall2023, which involved performing 4-5 group songs (YouTube link below). I've also performed in 3 concerts hosted by my singing teacher which involved working with an accompanist after learning 2-3 songs per concert. Overall, I am not shy to be on stage performing in front of many people. I can help with stage presence and some formalities depending on your goals as a performer. Experience Teaching: I do not have extensive experience as a formal teacher, but as of December 2024, I've had 2 students covering 1 musical theater piece and childrens songs. I love sharing knowledge and teaching anyone who wants to learn guitar or how to sing. I've had 3 students in my life, but never purused being a music teacher. Most of my teaching experience comes from teaching friends when we hang out together, or when having jam sessions with friends who are less experienced in music. My experience sharing knowledge over the years has helped me understand how to cater the lessons toward the individual's goals. I can teach music theory and how to read music, if that's the students goals. But depending on age and goals, I find the most effective method is to teach through learning songs that keeps the student engaged in the learning process. -Education- Degree: Environmental Science, B.A. School: University of California, Irvine Dates: 2017-09
