Experience Description
I have owned/managed my own private music teaching business since 1978. I have personally taught well over 2400 students in a variety of music-related subjects including, guitar, electric bass, piano, voice, songwriting, composition, music theory, and music performance. Over 80 of those students have gone on to a variety of professional activities ranging from live performance to recording (and touring) to becoming teachers in their own right.
I began studying music (guitar) while yet 12 years old and joined my first band the following year. During my Junior High and High School years, I was active in performing throughout the community and, in High School, was a busy songwriter/composer both inside and outside of the school programs. In the 1970s I recorded and toured briefly before settling into a career as a full time music teacher. Since starting my own teaching business I have continued to perform live throughout So. California. I recorded an album of my original material in 2020 and continue to dedicate myself to music instruction, through the online medium.
