Rock is fun.
I teach rock and roll guitar to kids in after school classes in the East Bay,
through the Nusku Arts Program. I also teach rock guitar to private students.
My approach with students of rock guitar is to help them increase their
fun, skills and confidence, by teaching them how to play songs, riffs, and
leads, both alone and in groups.
In addition to rock guitar instruction, I offer an expanded program of music instruction
that enables rock guitar students to expand their learning into various areas of the music business.
This Expanded Music Program builds on the weekly guitar instruction to include the following classes
or modules that can be added to a student’s existing once-a-week guitar class:
1. Band rehearsals and collaborations with other students at Orange Sky Studio, once or twice a month,
on Saturdays and/or Sundays. Pro drummer provided.
2. Singing, songwriting and lyric writing.
3. Instruction in how to organize a skype meeting, a rehearsal and a live show.
4. Instruction in instruments other than guitar, including drums, bass and keyboards.
5. Multi-track recording, mixing and editing.
6. Videography and video editing.
7. Graphic design in Photoshop, and web design in Weebly.
8. Marketing via street team, Youtube, social media, craigslist, etc.
The expanded program is customized to each individual student,
but basically would involve two classes per week, and one or two rehearsals every month,
and one or two skype meetings every month.
One class per week would continue to be devoted to guitar instruction;
the other class per week would cover one of the topics 2 through 8.
The skype meeting would be for the purpose of teaching youth how
to run a meeting, and how to organize a rehearsal or a show. Topics covered in
the meetings will include the songs that will be played at the upcoming rehearsal, who plays what, when
and with whom, transportation, scheduling, as well as group process and
agreements. We will use a scheduling website during the meetings to facilitate
the planning of rehearsals and shows.

To inquire about receiving guitar lessons, or lessons in singing, songwriting, recording, video editing, graphic design, web design, band rehearsals, etc. call me at 510-907-1612, or email me at [email protected]
I am looking forward to finding ways to support the continuing growth of every music student’s
confidence, skills and fun.
Peace and blessings,
