When he's not teaching, you can find him playing gigs all over the Bay Area or on the road touring.
Luke decided to start teaching because he wanted to share his love of music and hoped that he could help others strengthen their own relationship with the art. When teaching, he likes to find what excites each student individually and uses that to create an engaging lesson plan. This creates a path for the student that emphasizes technical development while still keeping their own goals in the forefront of the lessons.
