I started piano lessons at age five and was in my first band at age 13. After picking up guitar, I studied and learned everything I could about music. Since then I've performed extensively as a guitarist, written and co-written many songs and other works, including electronic and orchestral works, recorded and produced music for many bands, and of course taught guitar, ear training, piano, and bass through Wyzant and privately. Currently I'm studying Music Composition at George Mason...

Todd has provided examples of their subject expertise by answering 2 questions submitted by students on Wyzant’s Ask an Expert.
Great Live Sound Engineering
I wanted to make my rock band rehearsal studio sound its best. We had excellent mixing and monitoring equipment but our small cement block basement was not a good room for a 5-piece band. Todd started teaching the basics of room accoustics, then gain structure and mixer equalization for maximum gain before feedback. In just the first hour, he presented ideas that resonated as definite ah-ha moments that helped explain some issues we were having with our system and our room. Todd's real world experience allowed him to quickly hone in on what to teach and in what order. He'll be my go-to for all my live sound and production tutoring.

Knowledgeable and patient in Music Theory
Todd has done a wonderful job getting my son up to speed in his music theory class. Being that he joined in the middle of the year it’s been a little difficult to catch up but Todd has made a tremendous difference.

very knowledgeable
we worked on timing chord changes and strumming tempos. this was only our first lesson and difficult to rate on a scale of 1-5. we'll know more as the lessons progress.
Morton, 4 lessons with Todd
Incredible Logic Pro instructor
Todd is helping me with Logic Pro and principles of sound engineering. he does an excellent job of listening to his student's questions and wrapping that content into the overall picture of the topic being covered. Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and gives good insight into "homework" that can be done between lessons to enhance the experience

Todd’s Lesson
Todd is a Great tutor and always learn a lot. Will be gladly happy if Wyzant would allow to download the lessons as for now is not possible! Sometimes there are technical problems that would be great to be solved before the lesson in other to save time! Wonderful Tutor would recommend him to anyone interested in music and music production!

Great fit for my daughter.
Todd is great at keeping my daughter confident about math and engaged. Especially when working on really tough problems and concepts. He also has mini breaks where they talk about anything that pops up like current events, goals, school events, etc.

Talented tutor - we are grateful!
Todd is diligent, devoted and cares about his student's success. He is working to make sure our son understands calculus and can take his exams with greater confidence and mastery of the subject. Thanks, Todd!

Wonderful teacher
My son has been taking guitar lessons from Todd for 8 months now, and we couldn't be happier with his progress. Todd is very patient and always responds positively to my son's questions. He is very easy to communicate with, and very reliable. My son has learned an incredible amount in a very short time, and his guitar lesson is the highlight of his week. I highly recommend Todd.
