FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Drop by the studio anytime (by appointment) to meet the instructor and talk about what you want to learn.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played guitar continuously for 40 years, since the age of 10. In that time, I studied music theory and production at Saddleback College in Orange County, CA; also, I began guitar instruction at Westminster Music in Westminster, CA in 1999. I was the lead guitarist in the Young Dubliners from 1999 to 2017. Together, we made six albums and toured North America and Europe as a headline act. We also opened for larger artists (Jethro Tull, Pat Benatar) and appeared on national television (Jimmy Kimmel Live!).
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My first teaching experiences started in 1999, when I taught bass lessons and group beginning guitar classes at (now defunct) Westminster Music in Westminster, CA.
