Instruments: Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium French Horn Piccolo Oboe Bassoon Music
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the lesson books you or I provide, preferably 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

As a drummer that has played in all kinds of styles and venues, I can teach any skill level from the first time picking up sticks to making good drummers great and great drummers legendary. Using my experience as a school band director (4 years), I am also able to teach concert band instruments (trumpet, flute, trombone, etc.) as well as Jazz ensemble instruments (drum set, electric bass). In the short time I have been with my current school, we have been awarded 3 awards: one for best in class, one for superior rating, and one band of distinction. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I wont be asking a student to, all of the sudden, begin some vigorous practice routine of 20 hours a week. But I will be working with them to establish a routine that will work in their favor as a musician. I like to let students come to their own conclusions about things I like to just show a student the way. Instead of just telling the student an answer, when they come to the conclusion by themselves, with my help, the information is better remembered and engrained into a student. Read More

I use a variety of methods customed to every student that interacts with me.-One method is to practice drills targeting your weaknesses in the way you play.-Another method is a piece of music that targets your weaknesses.-Another method is leading by an example of my playing.-Another method is to guide you with my explanations of how you should be playing the music.-I will usually spend my own money to purchase more tools needed for my lessons.

My starting point for my students is typically having them practice posture, hand position and proper mouthpiece placement. After this has been satisfied, I have the students blow using a breathing exercise. From this, I have the students play the first three notes out of their Habits of Good Musician Book 1. Students will continue in the book and proceed to their daily lesson exercises until they are ready to play other higher level music pieces. Read More

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am a music lover. Thus, there is no room for having any favorite style or genre. Similar to food, when there is coherence and a good proportion of the elements then you find harmony, beauty, good taste and so on. In the case of music, I strongly believe that we need to be open-minded to understand the different contexts and paradigms found in music history through time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a writer or psychologist. I enjoy writing very much, mostly in Spanish my mother tongue. Also, I am passionate about the mind and the understanding of human behavior and the like.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degree is in Performance. I have had great experiences as a performer in different formats including orchestra, chamber music and solo. I love to be on stage!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Sound concept! It is important to have a reference and create your own sound from there. Although you might change this in the future, you need to start from something. So, my advice is that you must listen to as many recordings as you can, attend to live performances, and try to identify what do you like and why, you need to describe it. That way you start creating a concept.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The 57 ARD Music Competition Munich (2008) has been one of the greatest experiences of my life! I was in my twenties, and I still lived in Venezuela, my homeland. It was an honor and great privilege to qualify for this international contest as a Latin American and Venezuelan. Which was even more special after the first round when I was told "miss Borregales, you passed to the second round, congratulations!"
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was love at "first hearing". I was an 8-years old girl waiting for her mother to pick her up at the school of music. I haven't chosen an instrument yet and only attended to the music theory class. But one day I heard a guy playing this instrument, the clarinet. I fell in love immediately!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make pauses, these are fundamentals in any performance practice. We must take care of our body and mind. We are a very special type of athletes.
When will I start to see results?
You will notice the difference a few minutes after we start the first lesson. In my class, I always ask the students to try several options, and then I encourage them to analyze the results.
