Music Lessons with Wes

There are countless reasons to make music and all of them are good. 

Sometimes making music is simply my favorite way to have fun. I love jamming with others, I love creating songs and sounds that I can listen to, I love performing, and I also deeply cherish having a space to retreat to within music- somewhere I can go to think, feel, explore and be restored. 

As a lifelong student of music, I have never regretted investing in learning a new instrument, improving my existing skills or exploring new concepts and sounds. As a music teacher for over 10 years, I find unmatched joy in helping others achieve their dreams whether they’re pursuing creative fulfillment, an intellectual challenge or pure curiosity. 

I don’t believe it’s ever too late or too early to learn music. Throughout my career I’ve helped toddlers to retirees and everyone in between discover and develop their own unique form of expression. I take great care to create individualized learning experiences based on my students’ interests, abilities and learning styles to encourage a lifelong relationship with music and education that goes beyond the time we have together. 

Currently, I teach private and group lessons for beginner to advanced students on Guitar, Drums, Piano, Bass, Trumpet, Saxophone, Banjo and Ukulele. I also teach music production, music theory and songwriting, and I coach bands and ensembles on performance, cohesion and style. Lessons can take place in the comfort of your own home, online or I also teach from studio spaces located in Studio City, Atwater Village and the DTLA Arts District. 

Reach out with what you’re interested in learning, your availability and anything else you’d like to share and let’s find a time to talk about what we can do together. Whether you’re starting a new journey or picking back up on an old one, congratulations on taking the first big step and I look forward to helping you along the way.
