Here's Why You Should Work With Me
Am I a good teacher?
Well, I have over 10,000 hours experience.
Over the last 15 years, I have helped countless aspiring music artists unlock their creativity. Many of them once believed that they couldn’t play music. But I was able to turn every single one of them into a competent musician or songwriter (or both), regardless of their prior experience or the genre they wished to write. Don’t take my word for it, read my testimonials to hear about my relationships with students.
What about live performances?
I have performed over 500 gigs.
Not only do I have 20 years experience of performing locally and around the world in all kinds of musical settings and on various instruments, I was awarded the ‘Top Musician’ award for the graduation class of ’07 from Terry Fox Secondary.
What about Songwriting? Or recording?
I have recorded over 10 albums.
Not just writing my own music, but for others too – I have experience in many studio roles, such as playing guitar, bass, drums, vocals, as an audio engineer and producer.
What makes you different?
I tailor my lessons to you and your needs.
If you’ve looked around, you’d know that many teachers provide the same lessons to all of their students. They also leave you to figure out the fine details. This is an incredibly lazy and unproductive way to tutor a student – it does not cater to their individualism and desires, and it sort of leaves you stranded. You’ve been told WHAT to play but not HOW.
I tailor every lesson to your musical interests and help you play or write the songs YOU want to. I know the pain of working with teachers that do not respect your creative desires or who skimp on details. That is why I make sure to focus on your needs, not mine.
