Guitar Center Albuquerque 6001 Menaul Blvd. NE Suite B Albuquerque, NM

    I have been playing music my whole life and from a young age my family inspired me to begin my musical journey. I joined band class in the 6th grade as a percussionist, and started taking guitar classes and lessons in the 7th grade. 

I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Music Theory and Composition with a focus on technology. 

I wrote a game soundtrack for a currently unreleased videogame and have worked on other soundtrack projects.

I have been teaching at Guitar Center now for nearly 2 years and have loved every moment getting to teach people things that they love! 

I strive to ensure that students walk away from each lesson feeling that they got something of value and that they are having fun on their musical journey.

I have been playing since I was 8 years old. I started professionally teaching 15 years ago, and have loved every minute of it. I come from a rock background, but I love all genres. My father was a western swing/jazz guitar player, and he inspired me to begin my journey to become a musician too.

I love to inspire my students through fervently listening to their passions and interests in music. This allows me to faciliate better learning in their musical journey. 

In all my years of teaching, I have found that every student I have worked with teaches me just as much as I teach them. As any lifelong guitar player will tell you, you never stop learning. 

I am happy to teach students of any age and ability level, and would be honored to become your teacher today!

I have a deep love for music for as long as I can remember. My musical journey started when I was about four years old as I would get occasional lessons from my Grandmother who was a piano major when she was in college. When I was in the 7th grade I formed a band with my twin brother and a few friends. I began taking bass guitar lessons at the Candyman in Santa Fe. A couple of years later I took guitar 1 & 2 classes at St. Michael's High School. I also had joined choir my Sophomore year in high school and even played bass in a musical productions while I was enrolled at St. Michaels. I then attended UNM and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with guitar as my primary instrument. I have played in multiple bands of varying genres and loved every moment of it. I look forward to honing mine a students skills and expanding our musical knowledge.

I have been playing guitar for over 10 years and I have broad spectrum of music tastes. From Rock, to reggae, to pop. I play it all. I have experience playing in a lot of different bands. I have had the privilege of learning from local guitar players in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. I believe that every student learns in a different way and I always make sure to take that into consideration when we begin a lesson.

"I have been an active musician for over 11 years. I started at the age of 8 on the piano. In middle school I began to study the cello and the electric bass which has created my journey in music for the last decade. With a love for a good groove and music that gets people moving, I have found a wide range of music that gets me feeling those ways. I love to talk about all genres and musical aspects and still continue to find myself learning more all the time." Sam has played in various groups throughout Albuquerque over the years with a wide array of styles that he has delved into. With the classical knowledge that he has gained over time he finds ways to understand music in a way to break it down in a natural and digestible way to help anyone understand.

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.
