PJ offers lessons for guitar, piano, bass and ukulele. He also provides tutoring in music theory, composition/arranging, songwriting and film scoring.
As someone who fell in love with music singing songs in the car with his family, passing on the joy of music is one of PJ’s core passions, and he believes it is too important to trust to just anyone. That is why he has been instilling a love of music in students of all ages and abilities for over a decade.
There are many options for music education: some offer great passion, but limited professional experience. Many professionals charge high rates for their experience but don’t have a true passion for teaching. PJ believes in doing things differently. From the beginner just picking up an instrument for the first time to the most advanced student, PJ develops relationships and lesson plans individually, creating a fun and exciting environment that encourages a love of music first. That is the framework from which passion and proficiency will flourish.
Lessons are offered remotely, from PJ’s home in Irving, TX, or at other locations for an additional travel fee.

PJ’s creative and unconventional approach has been a perfect match for Matthew, who loves exploring new ideas. It’s rare to find a teacher who combines traditional music theory with modern musical sensibilities.

I’ve had the pleasure of taking jazz lessons with PJ for a little over a year, and it’s been an incredible experience. PJ’s deep knowledge of music theory, chord voicings, and techniques is second to none. I’ve always left lessons feeling impassioned to go home and play more guitar. PJ’s ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps (especially for someone like me with limited knowledge of music theory) made learning even the most challenging material enjoyable. I would highly recommend PJ to anyone looking to further their guitar skills…”

PJ has been teaching my son, Landon, piano for the past three years, and it has been a fantastic experience. He is not only incredibly talented but also super patient and fun, making lessons enjoyable and engaging for my 10 year old. His teaching style is supportive and encouraging, keeping Landon motivated and excited to learn. It is clear that PJ has a genuine passion for both music and teaching, which has made all the difference in Landon’s musical journey. I can’t recommend him enough!!
Lauren H.Piano Lessons
Our son has grown tremendously as a musician under PJ’s guidance. Not only has he learned to play guitar with skill and precision, but he also understands the theory behind the music, giving him a deeper appreciation and mastery of his instrument. PJ has been an incredible mentor, instilling confidence in our son that goes beyond playing guitar. His encouragement and expertise have truly made a lasting impact, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the growth we have seen in our son’s musical journey. We are so thankful for PJ!
