After picking up his first guitar, he realized that he wanted to take his passion in music to the next level and absorb as much music as possible. He formed a rock band with two of his close friends and finally got the experience of what it was like to play in a band. This caused him to make the decision to study music while going to college since he truly wanted to do something he enjoyed. So, he enrolled in the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music of California State University Long Beach where he majored in a Jazz Performance Guitar degree. While at school, he was receiving guitar lessons from two of the top guitarists in the Los Angeles area, Ron Eschete and Michael Higgins. Along with receiving lessons, he was also giving private lessons to many students while studying at CSULB. While developing his expertise in Jazz, he decided to go back to his roots and put together a blues ensemble with some of his colleagues in the music department. His band is currently gigging regularly under the name “Zo's Crooked Blues Band”. Striving to excel in his music career, he also hopes to help as many students as he can along the way to get them in the same level of focus and dedication that he has to music.

I have been passionate about music ever since I can remember and very much so love all things music related! Weather it be creating, learning, teaching, or enjoying, music has and will always be at the forefront of what I do and am proud of. As of now, my primary focus is creating, engineering recording music that will challenge listeners and expand their range of musical taste by giving listeners something they've never heard before. As a teacher, I aim to find what makes the student interested about learning a specific instrument or skill in order to inspire challenges and practices that push a student to and beyond their limits. My absolute favorite thing about teaching is seeing student talents blossom, grow expand into their own musical universe that they can be proud of and show off! My approach to teaching can be interpreted as one that gives students the opportunity to understand how music is a never ending journey of both learning and teaching, at all skill levels, and one that inspires and motives any given student to teach themselves and learn outside the classroom.

Years of Experience: 30 Location Options: In Studio Travel Radius: 50 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons Overview: The best cure for a sluggish mind is to disturb its routine. [William D.] Hello. I'm a professional musician, composer, and teacher of drumset/snare drum. Been doing both for 2+ decades. I've recorded, performed, and toured here in the USA and in Europe. Started my schooling in France (w/Alan Silva)and finished up at UNT (Music Performance) in Denton (w/Henry Okstel, Rick Latham, etc). I've played Jazz and Bebop, Top 40, techno/electronika/rave, rock, heavy metal, blues, Greek Middle Eastern, some symphonic, pop, various avant-garde styles, "nuevo" flamenco, funk, hip-hop, latin, folky singer-songwriter, reggae/dub, drum 'n' bass, totally improvized music, CW, and even lizard lounge styles. Currently accepting students from beginner to advanced. Age range of my students= 6 yrs old to early 50's... Beginning students are those that don't know anything about playing drumset except for the fact that it seems like it would be a fun thing to do. Maybe they have a drumset, maybe they don't. (If you don't have a drumset I can help you find one without breaking the bank...). Maybe they want to further hone the skills that they're learning in school music programs, ie. reading skills,snare drum skills, the rudiments... Intermediate drummers to Advanced drummers are those drummers that have been playing for a while and have realized that there may be more to playing the drumset than they're currently capable of or even aware of. This includes conceptions of drumming and music, 4-limb inter-dependence, and music styles that may seem "mysterious"...like Bebop (Jazz). Maybe they want to learn how to read and write. These drummers may have a pretty decent handle on things, maybe play in a band, or have played in several bands but feel like their lack of technique (like stick control,limb control, phrasing, syncopation) is holding them back. They may feel they've "reached a wall" in their technical abilities and/or their musical abilities and expression: same old licks, same old beats, same old fills, etc. Self-taught drummers may feel the desire to develop more of the "formal" training into their playing (the rudiments, reading, ear-training, snare drum chops, Jazz syncopations/chops, odd meter playing, "flow", etc). Maybe they just want the input of a teacher who ca

My name is Savannah. I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I have several family members who are also music educators, and I have now inherited the family method of teaching music to children. I can have kids as young as 3 years old singing the major scale back to me! As I got older I began to play the flute but really found I was meant to sing.

At 16 years old, I auditioned for my first professional production in Chicago, and have been going strong ever since. Now I'm looking for more work that creates the next generation of singers as well as provides a more steady income. Thank you for taking the time to read! Hope to hear from you soon.

Years of Experience: 6 Location Options: In Studio, In Home Travel Radius: 10 Genres: Rock, Blues, Country, Acoustic Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Vocal Lessons Overview: Hello, my name is Michael "Joshua" from Sacramento California. I have been playing guitar for twenty years and singing professionally for the past ten years. I right all the music you hear on that site and all the lyrics. It was not easy finding my heartsong though...I was blinded by what I thought I had to sound like (supposed to do) instead of excepting my natural inclinations. I admit I am a talented singer with the ability to mimic a wide range of my favorite artist. However It would have been good to learn myself. I am 36 years old and my vocal range has gotten even wider than before. That was a total suprise to me. I never thought after all these years my range could actually improve and considerably too. The best thing a musician can do for themselves is to honestly surrender to their true feelings and find content with those feelings as well as confidence in order to free their genuine heartsong. * Private Education: I had private lessons for guitar and vocals at Skips Music. Performing Experience: I performed at Sacramento nightly venues from 2004 to 2012. The venues include Old Iron Sides,Town House,Press Club,Marylins on K,Distillery,Ceaser Chaves Park.
