IN A FEW WORDS

Shape-shifting musician (guitar & bass guitar teacher, music producer, singer/songwriter, performing artist, music software instructor : Logic Pro & Ableton Live, sound engineer, mixer, composition for the stage), whose experience in music making is injected into a hands on teaching method tailored to every students unique needs and personality. Bridging the gap between creativity and learning.
From the thrill of performing with my teenage bandmates more than 20 years ago to teaching advanced production techniques and music theory to hundreds of students, music has always been my path. To this day it remains a privilege to pass on the craft of sound and it’s inspiring power to others.

TEACHING

15 years experience in one-on-one guitar, bass guitar, music software, music production, mixing & sound engineering lessons. Teaching over 500 students of all ages and backgrounds in all modern styles. From 7 year old beginners to 80 year old lifelong music lovers seeking to keep their musical brains sharp. My live touring and production experience (see composition-performance-production section) has enabled me to share my expertise in the studio and on the stage, where I relish helping students young and old grow their knowledge and understanding of their instrument, the correct use of audio equipment, production software, and important maintenance tasks. I have found that my students become increasingly motivated as they learn not just to master their instrument(s) but also valuable production and engineering skills which helps them extract the best of themselves and enhance their performances and productions. I have become an expert in creating a friendly environment with an emphasis in truly getting to know and understand every students goals. Enabling the lessons to be on point, enjoyable and enriching for both student and teacher. For 10 years I was the guitar, bass guitar and computer music tutor at Maestro music school based in Gaillac (FRANCE). Also in charge of sound engineering and student projects involving studio recording and production. I have been teaching online for the past few years.
