About Adam

I have been a graphic designer and musician for as long as I can remember.

When I became a father I took great pleasure in passing on my experience and skills to my son. That eventually developed into volunteer sessions at his school, where I loved showing kids how to paint, play music and program code.

As my son, and his friends grew, I continued to share and teach out of our home. I realized how much fun I was having the more they learned.

Thus its become a life's dream to help others achieve their creative goals. To assist fellow artists to pursue their passions.

I love experiencing the AH=HA moment when something CLICKS for the student. When they GET IT, the concept or technique I'm teaching. Once that is locked in, I see the world of opportunity that opens up in their mind.

I started by showing my son certain artistic or musical techniques. This developed into volunteering at his school and then helping a few of my sons' classmates and friends. I have been interested in persuing a teaching career ever since.



I gained a 4 year degree in London in 1987 and have over 30 years working professionally in graphic design, illustration and animation. 

I learned to play guitar at age 14 and have played every day since. In younger years I performed rock and punk in pub bands, with pyrotechnic dreams of super-stardom. After reality set in, music became a creative escape within terms I controlled.

I continue to study and learn new aspects of visual media and music production everyday.

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

We begin with a phone or text message interview, to evaluate if the student/teacher relationship will be a good fit. I try to get a feel for the artists goals and experience.

Once we commit to move forward with lessons, a schedule is created. There is no contract, lessons are paid for on the day in person, and can be terminated at any time if the student wishes.

While I can go some way to accomodate students without their own software or instrument - I can bring a laptop or a spare - I do urge every student to own the tool they are striving to learn.

Usually we start at the very beginning, and progress at a rate determined by the student. Everyone grows at their own pace. I always try to push the student to improve but ultimately take guidance from their goals. Not everyone wants to be a virtuoso.

There is usually no homework per se, but I do encourage every student to practice the techniques learned each week in their own time. Skills are gained through repetition and the student will progress at a greater rate with constant practice.



I have mainly taught kids to this point. I love their enthusiasm and excitement. However, I am open to working with beginning or intermediate students of all ages.



Talk to your potential teacher. Get a feeling for them, make a connection. A good teacher should inspire and motivate, and their should be chemistry between them. The sessions should be fun and the takeaway lessons memorable.



Fullerton Day of Music is a local city-wide free event thats hosts bands and artists in parks, cafés and front lawns. I love that the city embraces the performing arts and hope to see it grow. I would love to see more families and neighbors performing ad hoc in residential driveways and street corners in years to come.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Be honest about your current skill level and where you want to take it. Can I help you get there from here? Are you dedicated to the learning process? Are my musical or artistic style in line with yours? Am I the best teacher for Post-Modernism or Country Slide Guitar? (The answer to that one is - no).
