Influenced by a wide range of styles—from contemporary pop and rock to classic singer-songwriter and acoustic traditions—JJ loves helping students explore the music that excites them while building solid fundamentals. Lessons often incorporate ear training, chord knowledge, rhythm work, and basic songwriting or arranging skills, all tailored to the student’s level and interests. Whether a student is just starting out or already has some experience, JJ focuses on practical skills that translate quickly into real songs and confident playing.
