Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that it is very important for any singer to have a music theory background, so I make sure to include in any of my vocal lessons basic keyboard knowledge. Further, I have found that it is important to incorporate all types of music in lessons. Learning all sorts of style in music is crucial to continue growing as a performer. Finally, it is important for a student to enjoy their lessons and find passion in their own music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
As of now, I have a business degree with an emphasis on entertainment and hospitality and have been playing guitar professionally for 15 years and bass guitar for 12 years. Some of the things I do professionally range from studio production/recording sessions to live performances (either with my own band or other peoples' groups or bands) and touring. I'm very grateful and blessed to be able to experience everything that I have up to this point at my still young age and nothing makes me more happier than to also be able to share that joy, passion, and experience with other people in the hopes that it might change their lives as well.

I started teaching violin about 15 years ago. A few years later I started teaching viola and cello. When I got to CSULB I started learning all the band instruments.

Playing and teaching each instrument is like entering a different world. Each instrument is special in its own way. Read More

My goal as a teacher is to see my students grow not only in skill, but in their love for music. With this in mind, I make a special effort not to overwhelm my students. I know that every person has a different set of talents and strengths, so I design my curriculum to fit each students' needs. As a whole, the idea behind my teaching is to create a challenge without creating stress because at the end of the day, happy students produce great music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
For beginning piano students, I start them with a variety of materials, beginning with John Thompson's piano books, along with stanzas of finger exercises to develop dexterity. But more importantly for me, is that I understand that people, especially now, want to start playing songs as soon as possible. So, I immediately teach them chords and scales. Weekly, I introduce a new one so they get comfortable and then get them used to moving from chord to chord. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school we had music class once a week for an hour. We worked on a school program that we put on at the end of the year. One year we put on our program, but one child was front and center. None of us really knew him. He played the glockenspiel and xylophone. All of us kids onstage were amazed by him. At the end of the show most of the parents were clapping for him, including most of us kids onstage. The music teacher came onstage and gave him a big hug with pride. I asked the music teacher later how I could be like that kid. It was then that the music teacher told me that the boy took individual lessons from him.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
All weak points need to be addressed, as well as practicing in different environments. Beginning your day constantly with the same daily exercises can be good, but it also may leave you completely dependent on those exercises before you perform. Life isn't always so accommodating. Switching things up, daily or almost daily, will create a more solid embouchure and a greater ability to succeed in your performances. I have collected exercises over the years that will conquer boredom, which could lead to improper use of a daily exercise and hinder your performance in the long run.
When will I start to see results?
Children will see results immediately and will be excited about picking up the instrument the next day. The next day's results will make them understand that they can actually get better every single day. This is mandatory to keep a child's interest, and it's an absolute necessity for them to keep going in the long run. One of my trombone professors explained progress to me as not really walking up a ramp to get to a higher performance ability. It's more like walking up the rungs of a screw. You may slide down a rung every so often, but no matter what you're always on your way up.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every child is ready to start lessons at any time, even if they've never even created a noise on the instrument. Having a professional show your child the ropes from the very beginning gives them a tremendous head start. Children can become immediately turned off at the beginning of learning an instrument if they see it as hard or too much effort. Some will even give up immediately. Making progress from the first time they pick up the instrument turns a light on inside of them that may never turn off.
