My name is Edward and I have been playing music most of my life. I was involved in every form of music education that I could find, and took private lessons on guitar and piano for ten years. During this time, I learned that I improved when I performed music that I liked. I attended the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY and received a B.S. in Studio Music in 1996. I then moved to San Diego, CA and started my own business teaching music. The lessons were taught at the students' homes and I incorporated the students' interests in teaching. I have also performed for many years and have written many songs that have been recorded and performed. *** Lesson Details *** My teaching method is unique; I never teach the same way for everyone. The main objectives I teach include performance, reading, ear training, theory, composition and improvisation. I find that playing examples of music that you like is the best way to improve skills. I will recommend books that best suit your style and level. The main styles include (but not limited to) rock, blues, classical, pop, jazz and country. Please contact me if you have any other questions about my teaching methods. *** Studio Equipment *** I have a Yamaha 88 key weighted action digital piano with recording features. I also have music stands and amps for guitars. We have a smoke and pet free home. I also have a large collection of sheet music and music books available for lessons. *** Travel Equipment *** I will travel to your home. Clark County, NV *** Specialties *** Music, Guitar, Piano, Electric Bass Sight reading, ear training and songwriting

Edward is patient, teaches at my pace, listens to my concerns and instructs me with a kind demeanor. I’m taking up piano again at 42 yo. Last time I played, I was 8. Absorbing information is not quite so easy these days, however, Edward makes learning comfortable and achievable. I know I will get to where I need to with his assistance.
Very good first lesson for the kids. Edward was very patient with them
Edward is very patient and understanding. He’ll move at your pace but will also push you at the same time (in a good way) to make some great progress! He makes sure that you understand what is being taught and answers all questions (music theory, piano, guitar)
