As a multi-instrumentalists, I use a cross disciplinary approach even when a student is only learning one instrument. I do make use of method books for beginners, and the specific book depends upon the instrument, but I have my own methods and materials which I utilize in my lessons. Building a repertoire is encouraged, and I use the material to assist in instructing in theory and musical communication. My students are taught to be self-sufficient, by way of practice, study, and cultivating an "ear." Read More

I began teaching privately in Colombia and continued throughout my entire college experience. I've been a part of music schools for years, both as a student and faculty, and that experience has shown me that every student is different and as such the teaching must adapt.

My teaching style is overall based on building skills, technique, and general awareness in individualistic lesson settings, and then applying those skills in hands-on exercises, be them exercises in composition, performance, recording, or anything else! I encourage students to collaborate with their peers as much as possible, and often bring more than one student together to play, write, and jam in a double or sometimes even triple lesson setting. A community of friends is essential for a young musician to be able to build a relationship with music based on excitement, fun, and a shared love of the musical experience. Read More

My method depends on the student's previous experiences. For beginning students I use efficient and famous methods like: "Hal Leonard Bass Method" (for bass players) and "A Modern Method for Guitar" (for guitar players.) Once the student has a good foundation and technique on their instrument, we immediately start working on Berklee's proficiency exams where they will learn: Triads and their inversions, 4-part chords and their inversions, all kinds of arpeggios and scales from one to three octaves and how to use all this information to CREATE.

I am confident I can present high expectations to your students through experiences they would find exciting and empowering. I strongly believe that while only some students continue performing music as adults, for the majority an experience in a music program is an enlightening introduction to the love of learning. I consider it an honor to share the love of learning I have for music, knowing it is a model that will continue to inspire students to seek their own goals and learning with passion. Read More

For every student, I initally assess why they are taking lessons and what their goals are. Together we create a plan to acheive those goals.  For young beginners, I like the FJH guitar series. It was written by guitar educators. I also teach the student to play fun songs and tunes to supplmement the books.  For teens and adults, the path depends on their goals, which aren't always in a book. Read More
