I am a Professional Multi-instrumentalist, with emphasis on Bass Guitar, Guitar, Lever Harp, Piano and Tenor Saxophone. I had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing musicians from around the world. I am a highly passionate musician and instructor who loves to create all types of musical compositions. Making music improves the quality of people's lives through mental and physical change. I like to educate and be part of that process and lead others down the path of their own musical journey.

My teaching experience began while I was an undergraduate at Shepherd University. I have continued teaching throughout my degree programs, and am an active technician in the South Miami area.

I am also a full time instructor at The New World School of the Arts. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber collection (Piano basic adventures) or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

It is rewarding when a student progresses satisfactorily and begins to feel that passion for music and to continue overcoming challenges. As a teacher my biggest challenge is to get the student to feel comfortable with his instrument and get a good rhythm of study that allows him to develop all his abilities. All students are different, which is why different pedagogical strategies must be applied according to the case Read More

I motivate my students by being interactive. With children who are new to music, I use my personal method, which is characterized by providing knowledge while playing interactive games, which helps the children grasp music-related issues. With the older students, I try to inspire them by playing duets, and placing emphasis on a variety of repertoire. I also emphasize the theory of music as an indispensable element of learning instrument. Read More

Early on in my high school days I was helping classmates improve their musical skills. Turns out that I discovered my vocation. My pasion for helping, combined with my thirst and fascination for musical knowledge led me to pursue a career in the field of Music. I've been involved teaching, performing, recording and producing profesionally for more than 36 years and have helped more than 3000 students by now. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching at a music summer camp 3 years ago. Since then, I have been teaching private students. I encourage regular practice sessions. This is one of the key points I like to emphasize for beginners especially, as it tends to help the student progress, gain a passion for the instrument, and build discipline. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy music, motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Technique! That is the ability to play a note with the correct attack, duration, phrasing and dynamics that allow a note to sing. Knowing when to play and when not to play especially in jazz or improvised music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend practicing for 30 minutes a day. It is more effective for some people to practice at two 15 minutes intervals a day. It is my experience that it is more effective to practice everyday than to practice for hours to " cram" for the test.
When will I start to see results?
I've seen results within a few weeks. I've asked parents to hang in for 6 months gently encouraging the student. If the student continues to complain about lessons or refuses to practice it might be time to move on. As a caveat I've never heard anyone say they were happy about giving up lessons. I've heard people say they wish they continues or stayed with it.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always liked guitar. I played the piano and the idea of playing with 8 fingers and six strings with 23 frets was interesting to me. I thought electric guitars looked cool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the John Thompson series. The pages are not cluttered with superfluous pictures. I can expand on the lessons and use my own techniques and philosophy to teach.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Living off grid in the wilderness as a hermit growing my food and playing guitar on the porch. My wife has terms and conditions that prevent me from doing this so music it is.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have successful students. I would have to ask their permission to drop their names here. They have played with world renowned bands and become wanted side men.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not a teacher. Its a long story but I knew a guy about 15 years older than me who showed me how to play jazz chords. I thanked him until today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was always there. I wanted to play guitar, but Mom and Dad insisted on piano and I'm glad they did. Piano opens up all other instruments. I took up guitar as an adult. I have a friend who is a great guitar player, he says piano is order and guitar is chaos!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
writing and composing radio and TV jingles. I'm also proud of the students I've had that went on to be professionals. Playing with Bo Diddly was a kick.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I f they ask or respond to your question positively. I think 6 years old is a good time to start. I ask the parent if their child does well in school. Kids are funny I've seen excetions to all the rules!
