I first began teaching private lessons on my summer breaks from college back in 2013. What began as a way to make side money quickly grew into a passion for sharing my knowledge with others. The look on a students face when I see a concept "click" in their brain has become a driving force for me, and keeps me passionate about spreading musical ideas to those who truly want to learn.

I love to see my students face light up and smile when they finally get a pattern on the drums they were having a hard time with. Every student of mine receives a tailor-made curriculum based on their abilities. If there's a performance for the school jazz or orchestra band I can assist with homework. If not I encourage my students to perform in musical programs in and out of school. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

For classical and opera singing, I teach a healthy Bel Canto technique rooted in the Italian school of singing. I am also skilled in teaching SOVT style, but I typically avoid it with beginning singers. For musical theater and pop, I teach healthy belting techniques that preserve vocal quality and focus on a connection to the chest and body, alleviating vocal tension. For my guitar students, I teach fingering techniques and basic chords first, and then I focus on giving each student a basic repertoire--several pieces they already know and like to showcase their abilities and track progress.

I like to think of my teaching styles and methods as very practical yet very encouraging and nurturing. The best way to ingrain a new concept or idea I have found is to teach someone a practical way in how to use it, usually through learning a new song or exercise which expands their horizons and outlook on things. Nothing invigorates me more than to see students get excited when they finally understand or grasp something I have taught them. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice in small bits. Once you start overthinking or forgetting stuff you have to take a break. Studies prove for any topic you retain information for up to 20 minutes.
I highly recommend to practice effectively for a short time. It doesn't matter if your schedule is tight either going to school or working. You can sort out the most important things you want to have down and be able to improve.
Repetition is good as well. Those two will get you results.
For example, learning a song try starting with couple measures (small bits) and repeat them until you have them down, then move forward to the next parts.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone is ready to start lessons at anytime. Music will develop different skills and will bring joy to anybody.
Having the desire of learning is the best thing to encounter in a student.
I personally wanted to learn music when I was 6 years old but my parents thought it was not the best time or that I'd quit for being too young. Later on they realized I was focused on nothing else but music to a point of graduating College and moving out of the country I was raised.
I want to give anybody the opportunity of helping them to do and learn what they want.
When will I start to see results?
Results are subjective to anybody's opinion and needs.
Results depend on the teacher and also the student. The teacher can give the material to the student but if the student shows no interest on keeping up, then the pace would be slower.
I'd rather focus on what the student wants to learn and start from there; Therefore, as a teacher, I can keep the student interest and will to keep learning and improving.
My interest is to show the students their own improvements from the first day to few lessons later.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think there is never enough things to learn, practice and improve. We always have something to learn as musicians.
We have theory and rules to follow, but there is always something new to do or deviate from the music theory that ends up being a hit on billboard every day.
The hardest thing to master is to know you have to keep practicing no matter how good you think you are.
It's challenging getting out of the comfort zone once you identified what you want or what you're good at on your instrument. Techniques and styles will always come and go.
