About Alden


Bio

Hi! My name is Alden. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Professional Music. My degree concentrations were guitar performance and music production. I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and, soon after, I knew music would be a part of my life forever. I started playing bass, drums, and then piano as well. I was a bandleader for the jazz and rock bands at my high school. I also music directed plays for the drama department at my school.

Hi! My name is Alden. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Professional Music. My degree concentrations were guitar performance and music production. I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and, soon after, I knew music would be a part of my life forever. I started playing bass, drums, and then piano as well. I was a bandleader for the jazz and rock bands at my high school. I also music directed plays for the drama department at my school.

I've taught at multiple music and private high schools in Los Angeles, CA. I have experience teaching guitar, bass, piano, drums, and ukulele. I also have an extensive background in ear training and music theory and am happy to tutor those subjects. I guarantee I can improve your relative pitch, so you can play your favorite songs by ear! I've collaborated with artists like Lil Mosey, Travis Heidleman, DEO!, Cloe Givelin, Kaylub, Jay Alan, Marley Striem, and David Spitzfaden. I produce music in Logic Pro and Pro Tools.

I love working with students at any level. If you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them. I look forward to helping you achieve your musical goals!

I have experience teaching drums at a basic to intermediate level. I have a very advanced rhythmic background from being in a Brazilian percussion ensemble, as well and transcribing progressive rock music which utilizes many advanced rhythmic concepts like phrasing over the barline and odd-meter. I would be happy to introduce you to the amazing world of rhythm!

Kind, knowledgeable, and very productive session

Alden helped my son from the point of need. He quickly assessed what he needed to work on and implemented a very thorough session. My son loved it! I highly recommend Alden!

The Best!

Alden is very kind, professional and compassionate! I’m not a guitar player, but I know a lot about theory cause I have a BA in music. He understood exactly my needs so I’m hoping to advance my playing cause I feel he’s the right one after years of searching. I highly recommend him I don’t know.
