Teaching
While I am an active performer and recording artist, I find deep fulfillment in working with individuals through one-on-one private instruction. It’s a privilege to collaborate with both dedicated artists and aspiring talents, and I am proud to be part of their creative journeys.
Teaching is a vital aspect of my artistic pursuit, as it completes what I can only describe as a beautiful cycle. By sharing my experiences, insights, and lessons learned throughout my own creative process, I contribute to a dynamic exchange that enriches both my own work and the larger artistic community. This exchange is not just about imparting knowledge; it’s about fostering growth, sparking new ideas, and nurturing the next generation of artists. Through teaching, I offer back to the world what it has given me—an ongoing cycle of inspiration and transformation that helps shape and sustain the ever-evolving landscape of art.
I've been doing lessons with Jesse for two years! I started as an early beginner and I'm really amazed at how far I've come, and I credit that to Jesse! The lessons with Jesse are a perfect mix of all the most helpful things- he gives really effective and pointed, relevant teaching about position, movement and technique. He shares tips and tricks on how to warm up, improve tone, and ways to learn tricky new things. He shares ideas that open up whole new ways to think about how I'm playing a piece. He is also really encouraging. He’s helped me find scores for music I want to play and recommends pieces for me. Shows me very cool flamenco stuff. Also very importantly he is a cool dude and really fun to hang around with! We talk about kids he teaches, and I can tell that he’s great with kids. I’m so happy I found Jesse, I wouldn’t be where I am with guitar otherwise!
