I love being creative on the classical guitar through playing and composing. It’s my mission to empower others to find their own creative voice.

I was first taught by my father and was captivated by the guitar's shimmering sounds. I've also studied hundreds of 18th-19th century method books to learn how they played their music and learned the guitar.
I'm blessed to teach many wonderful students from around the world. Breathing musical life into pieces is the main focus, along with technical poise, sight reading, practicing effectively and harmonic analysis. Listen here to some of my students. As a performer, I've performed in concert halls around the world, ranging from large 1,000 seat theaters to small, cosy house concerts. Today, I play concerts online and primarily feature pieces written by students of my online school, The Creative Classical Guitarist. |

"I find these op. 40 Etudes really exciting and of a high level, similar to the lesser piano works of the great composers of the era, like Schumann or Chopin. You play them very well indeed and make a most convincing case for them."
