My background comes from my experience. I began playing Flamenco guitar at the age of five. I later studied Classical guitar with Howard Heightmyer, and Vince Macaluso. My Flamenco studies were with Enrique Heredia. At the age of 22 I decided to study Jazz guitar from Jimmy Wyble. I have taken master classes with Julian Bream at Cal State Northridge. Today I perform playing my own solo guitar arrangements. After teaching 14 years and 12 years of retail management, I owned a music store with several teachers and sold high-end Acoustic instruments. In the last ten years I have taught music part time while having a performing career. Today I find I am teaching professional players who want to learn Jazz, Flamenco, or Classical guitar. I find when I teach I learn. I use this to teach others. In teaching music we dissect technique as well as explore the musical intentions of the composer or

When I was in high school I did two years of tutoring at Franklin Elementary. I'm currently employed at Club Z Tutoring and attend University of Redlands to obtain my teaching credential.
