--Guitar/Bass--

My approach to teaching guitar is that: there is no one set approach. Each lesson is tailored to the student, their needs and goals, and their age, skill level, and individual style of learning. There's no better way to get and stay motivated than learning the songs that you love, and nothing more fun than finally playing along with your favorite artists, whichever genre you're into.

My goal is to help you play like YOU, accelerating your progress with years of musical knowledge, tools, and insight, broken down in an easy to digest way.

My current solo project is Modern Progressive Rock, so fans of bands like Polyphia, CHON, or Plini will be a perfect fit! Over the years I've specialized in all types of Rock: Alternative, Classic Rock, Punk, as well as Blues, Jazz, and Funk.

But don't worry, the fundamentals are similar no matter what genre you love! I've enjoyed teaching genres such as Country, Folk, R&B, even incorporating guitar into Hip Hop and EDM.

I look forward to hearing from you!

--Music Production--

From fundamentals to tips, tricks and secrets, we'll drive your mixes towards that professional quality sound that you're after. Here to share my 12+ years of production with you. Mix essentials like EQ and compression, DAW workflow and functionality, to composition and sound design. EDM, Hip hop, Rock, Pop, any genre you love, let me help you turn your creative ideas into stellar records.

Great experience

We have been having Dean teach our seventh grader how to play guitar is a bit of an extra curricular activity to supplement distance learning. We do 3 1-hour lessons per week and it has been the highlight of the learning experiences we’ve had. He is punctual and obviously very good at his job. My son has really enjoyed his lessons and has progressed quite a bit considering he started never having touched a guitar. Very professional and personable.

Helped me get started

In my first session with Dean today we got my computer, interface, and mic working and downloaded the audio program that I’ll be using. . More to come in future sessions!

Dean saved the day!!

I put out a urgent message and Dean responded within minutes. I wasn't able to make first suggested time but we arranged another date. He was knowledgable, fixed the issue with Maschine. The only issue I ran into was having to get off the call as could have happily chatted for a while. Super nice gentlemen, extremely professional 5++++ - Cheers Dean

Ally, 1 lesson with Dean

Great teacher

Dean answered the questions I had and met me where I was at. We took our time and worked on things efficiently. Great teacher. Overall I was aiming to relearn the basics of fl studio. He def knows his stuff.

Ryan, 2 lessons with Dean

great instructor for all genres of guitar playing and songwriting

Really useful for theory knowledge as it applies to songwriting, knows a lot of stuff regarding recording/production with Reaper. Is able to provide useful knowledge that is universally applicable to guitar playing, not just limited to a specific style of play (as his musical style/influence is way different than mine)

Michael, 72 lessons with Dean

Very helpful and thoughtful

I'm getting a lot out of these lessons. I able to nail down any song I bring to him. All I have to do is apply myself. I'm grateful to have Dean as an instructor. I can only dream about the level of music where he's at.

Anthony, 70 lessons with Dean

Knowledgeable and encouraging teacher.

Covered a lot of territory in the first lesson and provided me with notes and much more understanding of guitar. I am looking forward to the second lesson—Would highly recommended!

Karis, 12 lessons with Dean

Knowledgeable and Patient

Dean taught me a cords, how to hold the guitar, minor versus major etc. He even helped me take notes. Dean was awesome and I look forward to working with him again

Shika, 1 lesson with Dean

Great first EDM session

My 12 year old son had been composing EDM in FL Studio for a couple of years. He’s learned a lot from videos but we thought some instruction could help too. We were very happy with the first session and will do more. My son is learning things he didn’t know and really likes being able to have an actual interactive session, beyond his usual diet of YouTube.

Patient and Kind Tutor

Dean has been working with my son (9) doing guitar lessons for a little while now. He is able to tutor at a consistent time each week and is kind enough to work with me when the holidays or school get in the way of our normal timing. My son spends the class learning and laughing, it's great.
