Guitar Center El Paso 6440 Gateway Blvd. E. Suite 100 El Paso, TX
I started playing music around the age of 10 or 12 when my dad bought me a cheap guitar he got from a friend at the swap meet. The guitar was pretty terrible but of course at the time I didn't know any better. I started playing a few chords that my dad taught me and then started learning Nirvana stuff which was my favorite band at the time. Slowly throughout the years I learned much though I wish that I had taken lessons early on in life because most of the learning I did was in college when I was actually taking lessons. I grew up in a low income household so that was never an option but at least I'm glad that I was able to obtain that knowledge at some point in my life. Nowadays I listen to progressive metal, jazz, fusion, and video game music as well as a bunch of other genres.

From rock to classical, from theater to pop. Whatever the student would like to learn. I also encourage students to explore other genres as well to create a versatile voice. I implement ear training, sight-reading, and music theory throughout my curriculums, especially for younger students creating strong musicians all around.

Guitar Center El Paso 6440 Gateway Blvd. E. Suite 100 El Paso, TX
I started playing Electric Guitar around 14 and knew I wanted to play music forever which pushed me to focus on pursuing an education in music. I began to play Classical Guitar and Cello at Americas High School and experienced my first out of town gig in Austin, Tx. I continued to chase music at El Paso Community College where I had studied Voice, Piano, Jazz, Recording, Choir, and Guitar. I continued at UTEP and learned about improv, business, arranging, composition, music history, and performance. After graduating from UTEP, I was hired at Guitar Center giving guitar lessons to students of all ages and experience. Being an instructor made me realize it is a great feeling to pass my knowledge of music to others, so I took an alternative certification program at Region-19 and became a Texas Certified Music educator in 2024.

Guitar Center El Paso 6440 Gateway Blvd. E. Suite 100 El Paso, TX
Started percussion and music at the young age of 10, for the school concert band and graduated early from El Paso Academy to do more music. Participated in school marching band, and make to state 3 years in a row. I was apart of the jazz band, as well as the concert band, competed in solo and ensemble with all ones, and made it to denver with indoor percussion. Transferred to a school with no band to finish early but had more time to be apart of independent local groups as a drummer. I discovered my love for teaching when I was invited to my old school to help and tech drums for marching season, where I was able to give pointers and advice to already experienced percussionists. It was then I wondered if I was able to teach a student who knew nothing about music from scratch, which is when I challenged myself and gave lessons to beginners and worked out amazingly. From there on I've always gave it my all when teaching a student the way to groove because seeing any of my students succeed and progressing on their musical journey makes me feel just as good as succeeding with a music piece on stage myself, which is one like no other.

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.
