Ralph started playing instruments when he was 5-years-old and music has been a rewarding part of his life ever since. He is a graduate of The Grove School of Music and UC, Irvine and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in music composition at CSU, Northridge.

Ralph Began teaching guitar lessons in the Conejo Valley in 1993 and taught in the major music stores in the area for six years. He moved to Orange County to continue his music education; there he founded Atlantis Guitar. His goal was to provide superior, inspiring guitar lessons in a more productive and dynamic environment than offered by in-store lessons. He more than realized these goals, and Atlantis Guitar was a consistent success over the next several years.

Recently, Ralph returned to Thousand Oaks and has re-opened Atlantis Guitar.

Ralph's students enjoy a patient, fun environment while discovering their musical abilities. With over 17 years of private guitar instruction experience, Ralph has developed a unique approach. His students maintain interest while developing into complete musicians with individual style. He relates well with all ages and is adept in teaching many styles and all levels. His enthusiasm for teaching and playing guitar, along with a genuine concern for his students, create a positive experience for all who enter Atlantis Guitar.
