Guitar Center Totowa 1 US-46 West Totowa, NJ

I have been playing acoustic and electric guitar for over 15 years. Throughout my musical life I have explored the genres of Jazz Fusion, Progressive Rock and R&B. My deep exploration of these wildly different styles has afforded a unique insight that I now translate directly into my lessons. I teach in a holistic fashion, treating each student as an individual. I will design a lesson plan tailored to their goals, current ability as well as musical interests.

Guitar Center Totowa 1 US-46 West Totowa, NJ
Seasoned musician with over 20 years of drumming experience. My background in drumming comes from jazz roots that grew into a diverse catalog of metal, rock, pop, prog, gospel and Latin. I have worked with famous acts such as Rob Fusari (executive producer to Lady Gaga), Oscar Award Nominee Abigail Breslin, multi-platinum producer Matt Squire (Panic at the Disco, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande) and more. I have also competed in the Guitar Center Drum-Off with the honor of making it to the quarter-finals 5 times where I befriended my teacher Juan Mendoza and excelled to semi-finals in Manhattan in 2016. I am currently performing/recording with Will Wood (1M monthly listeners on Spotify) and ENOX (81K monthly listeners).

Guitar Center Totowa 1 US-46 West Totowa, NJ
I am a proficient jazz and fusion guitarist with experience in performing, recording, and music education. I have performed in numerous venues/settings and I currently perform throughout the tri state area. I began playing guitar at the age of ten mostly by listening to my favorite artists. I later studied jazz at William Paterson University with the jazz guitar master, Vic Juris. My versatility and experience on both the electric and acoustic guitar combined with solo or ensemble performances offer students a valuable opportunity to learn and improve. With a easy going approach, I tailor my teachings to various skill levels and genres, making me accessible for beginner students and experienced players alike.

Guitar Center Totowa 1 US-46 West Totowa, NJ
I was born in Ecuador, but raised in New Jersey since I was 9 months old; making me bilingual in both English and Spanish. I began my interest in music at a young age with the violin in the third grade. I stopped playing the violin shortly after due to stage fright. It wasn't until I was seventeen years old that I began to take an interest in learning how to play the guitar. I then took private guitar lessons for two years. When I am not teaching or playing guitar, you can find me spending time with family and my two dogs, Peach and Willow, or studying for some kind of school assignment. I hope to graduate with a Doctorate in Public Health by 2026!

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
