Jose C.

Passionate and dedicated music educator with over 15 years of experience teaching guitar, bass, and vocal lessons to students of all ages, from elementary school children to adults. My background as a worship pastor in diverse communities has given me the ability to connect with students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. I believe music is a universal language, and my teaching philosophy centers on equipping students with the tools to explore, create, and discover their own unique musical voice through hands-on learning and creative expression. In addition to my teaching, I am an active performing musician, regularly playing bass and guitar with various ensembles. I bring a wealth of practical knowledge, industry insight, and enthusiasm to inspire the next generation of musicians. Some of my biggest musical influences are B.B. King, Victor Wooten, John Mayer, Eric Gales and Eric Clapton.
