Music Lessons | Studio Recording | Live Sound

I am available for lessons both from the ToneBloom Studio located in Garland, TX as well as online primarily via Zoom. I have some limited capacity to travel to you if you live in the greater Dallas area depending on my schedule, distance, and time of day. My primary travel service areas are North/Northeast Dallas, Uptown/Downtown, Park Cities, East Dallas, Richardson, and Garland. If you live outside of this area and would like to schedule lessons in your home, please contact me to discuss feasibility.

Guitar Lessons

Whether you want to play electric, acoustic, or classical guitar, I can help you to become a better player. Though I mainly focus on teaching Rock, Blues, Prog, Funk, and Classical, I also have knowledge and experience in Jazz, Country/Bluegrass, Folk, Metal, Experimental and more. Lessons are tailored to your interests and current skill level. Topics range from technique and theory to successful practice methods in addition to learning about pedals and gear.

Music Production Lessons

For those interested in learning more about the common software, hardware, and techniques involved in music and audio production. Learn how to record, edit, mix, and master your own recordings or how to understand and program MIDI instruments and controllers. Become a better producer, composer, and/or songwriter by learning more about music theory, and how sound works. Fluent in Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Max/MSP, and more.

If you are in need of a recording/mixing/mastering engineer, live sound engineer (with or without PA), session musicians, and/or production work for your band, solo project, audiobook, or podcast, I can help! Book a studio session in the ToneBloom Studio located in Garland, TX or schedule a day and time frame for me to provide expert sound engineering services at your next live event.

ToneBloom Studio

Want to record your next song, album, podcast, or audiobook in an acoustically treated studio with an engineer/producer who is experienced and knowledgeable in many styles of music? Book an affordable session(s) at ToneBloom Studio located in Garland, TX. Already have tracks recorded? Just send them to me and I can provide you with a clean and exciting mix and/or master. Plus, boost the production value of your recordings by creating and adding guitar, bass, mandolin, or vocal parts, as well as synth parts, samples, and programmed beats/drums. If you just need a previously written part performed, I’ve got you covered there as well. For anything that I don’t have the ability to add, I have a wide network of musician contacts and can find the perfect performer for your needs.

Live Sound

Looking for a sound engineer for a concert, wedding, presentation, comedy show, interactive dinner theater, or other type of live event? I can be there with or without my own PA to make your event sound pristine! As a gigging musician myself, I take extra care to ensure that every sound source along with the master mix sounds as good as possible throughout the entire event, both in the front of house mix and with individual stage monitor mixes. Recordings of the event are also offered at different price points depending on the type of recording requested. Keep it simple with an ambient stereo microphone setup, choose to add a stereo soundboard mix, or go all in with a multitrack soundboard recording.
