About
I am an audio engineer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist with real-world experience creating music for independent video games and films.
I take a teach-you-to-teach-yourself approach so that you can work on your own time as well. A real teacher shoul never be a gateway to secrets. I want to help you avoid the pitfuls in your practice that held me back.
I love sharing the passion I have for creating music with others.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to start by gauging a student's experience in the subject matter followed by taking note of their interests, strengths, weakness, and goals. With this information I can further catere my lessons to their circumstances.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a composer for a few independent game studios and I have been writing/recording/mixing music for about a decade n ow.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
- $35 per hour-session
- $60 per two-hour session
- Every 10th lesson is on me (eg., Lesson 10, 20, 30, etc)
- I do not factor small-talk or digressions into the time.
- If you want to work with me and cannot afford my prices due to special considerations please let me know--we may be able to work something out!
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching guitar in my hometown at 16 an ontinued teach it ever since. More recently, after offering to help someone out on Reddit, I found I really enjoyed teaching audio engineering and mixing to other musicians.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've mostly worked with hobbyist musicians looking to up their game.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask questions! See if they have the same sense of humor as you. Make sure you like their style of music. If you're are interested in Lof-fi Chillwave but go to a Jazz tutor you may not get as much out of it.
