Private Music Lessons in South Gate, CA

I teach fun, personalized guitar lessons to students of all ages and skill levels, and I've been at it since 2011. Choosing the right teacher for yourself or your child can potentially make the difference between a weekly obligation and a meaningful learning experience that can enrich your life! I graduated the Berklee College of Music in 2011 with a degree in Guitar Performance and have been teaching music lessons and classes ever since. My expertise include guitar and bass instruction in music theory, songwriting, improvisation (soloing) and ear training. I also have a strong knowledge of music genres, mostly specializing in rock and metal, but also including pop, fusion and funk. My career working in bands and as a touring artist also allows me to offer insight into the music industry for those looking to pursue music professionally! I always meet my students where they're at and endeavor to teach them the specific skills they wish to improve upon. For some, that means being able to strum through their favorite songs around a campfire. For others it means building a firm understanding of fretboard mechanics and using music theory to compose songs and solos to record with their band. Wherever you are in your music journey, I'm here to help guide and expand your knowledge with fun and encouraging lessons. Let's get rockin! Note: If you can't contact me through this platform I can also be reached via my Instagram, @heavymeital, or my website.

I currently hold a Bachelor’s Degree in jazz performance in violin from University of the Pacific, and I am currently studying at California University State Northridge (CSUN) for my Masters also in jazz performance. Most of my performance career is jazz-focused, however I was classically trained through the Suzuki Method and teach in a similar style. I am able to play any genre of music, such as jazz, pop, RnB, country, etc. I both perform and teach in the LA/OC Area, a good balance I’ve found for myself. Usual events I play for include weddings (usually covers), birthday parties, corporate events, etc. I can also provide a group of musicians if your event requires it, anything from 1-8 musicians. For students, I am able to teach in-person and online, whatever you prefer! I do a minimum of 45 minute lessons, but 1 hour is preferred.
