Private lessons & freelance music/audio services
I’m a musician and educator offering private lessons and freelance music/audio work. I can help with everything from learning guitar or bass to composition, sound design, and transcription.
I teach guitar, bass, music theory, and composition to students of different ages and experience levels. Lessons can focus on learning an instrument, improving musicianship, preparing for a music program, or exploring harmony, ear training, and improvisation.
Online lessons are available, with in-person lessons available in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
