I was classically trained at age seven and later developed a strong interest in R&B, Jazz, Rock and other genres of music. I began to study with different instructors, focusing on blues and jazz. I have been composing and recording my original music at home for 15 years and have been performing with various bands in the bay area for over 20 years.

I incorporate all of my training and experience of music into my lessons,
emphasizing technique, theory, reading, ear training, improvisation, and
deliverance. I encourage my students to compose music and remind them that
listening to music is just as important.
