Currently he performs with East Coast Entertainment corporate band, Ascension, throughout the Southeast; instructs at Atlanta Music Brokers in Roswell, and The Atlanta Dream Center in Atlanta; as well as performs freelance throughout Atlanta. As an instructor, his goal is to expose students to many different forms of music and artistic expression, to provide knowledge and understanding of music theory, and to help the student develop his/her technique for guitar or bass. He will also teach material the student is familiar with (covers), and share tips on developing guitar parts and bass lines for original music. The student will learn to make charts, understand song structure, and become more familiar with pitch (using your ear). In addition, the student will receive basic knowledge of effects pedals and development of good tone.
