Bio

Hi I'm Donnie! I graduated from UCLA with a BA in Ethnomusicology specializing in Jazz Studies. I began playing guitar at the age of 10 and immediately knew I wanted to play music for the rest of my life. I gained experience performing in high school and college throughout the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. At an early age, I started teaching guitar lessons to share the joy that I have when I pick up the guitar. When I was growing up, my music teachers were always so incredibly supportive...

Hi I'm Donnie! I graduated from UCLA with a BA in Ethnomusicology specializing in Jazz Studies. I began playing guitar at the age of 10 and immediately knew I wanted to play music for the rest of my life. I gained experience performing in high school and college throughout the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. At an early age, I started teaching guitar lessons to share the joy that I have when I pick up the guitar. When I was growing up, my music teachers were always so incredibly supportive about me following my passion. I feel that same desire to give others that positivity has influenced my life so much.

I have a BA Ethnomusicology UCLA, 15 years of experience playing music/guitar, and extensive knowledge of music theory.

I look forward to hearing from you about your music and guitar lessons!

Ear Training

Ear Training

Being a professional guitarist in today's industry requires being able to know how to read music and play by ear. I began learning songs as a kid by simply listening to the tracks and playing back what I heard. When I reached college, I honed my ear training skills and studied it on an academic level.
General Music

General Music

I have completed a BA in Ethnomusicology which requires extensive knowledge of music and the core instruments that define music today (i.e. guitar, piano, drums, bass). I spent plenty of time learning about everything from theory, technique, business, and the history of music.
Guitar

I have been playing guitar for 13 years and have studied with several professional instructors. I specialized in guitar performance while studying at UCLA for my undergraduate degree in music. During my 13 years of playing guitar, I've performed throughout the Los Angeles area and have taught numerous lessons to students of all ages.

Fantastic first lesson!

Donnie made my first guitar lesson friendly and welcoming. His instruction was clear, patient, and I felt like I made significant improvement even during the first lesson. I look forward to continuing to have him as my teacher.
