Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Luckily I was taught by not only very high skill level players, but also by charismatic individuals that were also very good educators. As an educator, my main focus is to emulate their masterful ways of teaching and incorporate that into my program. I use various methods: how to read music, hear music and create music. Ear training is super important to me as it allows the student to learn "feel". Read More
Instruments: Flute Drums
I began teaching private lessons two years ago. I have taught about ten students in my life, and only taught them what they were specifically passionate about. I believe practicing is important, but I do not believe assigning homework is an effective way to make music fun for a student. Music is pointless without the will to learn and the desire to practice. Students will progress only as far they want to take their talents. Read More
Instruments: Drums Conga Djembe
I have taught in a more serious and rigid way before which does work for some students, but i think like anything in life, being able to enjoy the process week by week makes learning progress and a consistent and more rapid pace. There are many different possible ways to learn the drums and the other key to my approach is remembering and honoring the fact that everyone is unique and my job is to discover how you learn best and to continually look at what your goals are.

Instruments: Drums
My teaching methods vary from student to student. First, I find assessing the students' interests and musical goals paramount to building a lesson plan. Since every student is at a different stage in their musical career, our goals will vary from becoming a full time pro to being a weekend warrior. That said, I focus on everything from basic hand technique, grips and rudiments to chart reading, transcription and analytical listening. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More
Instruments: Drums
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play some guitar and I can move around a piano. The reason is that, when you get passionate about music, you want to try and make more music, understand it better.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience, discipline and the mechanical aspect of the drumset. Once the mechanical aspect (how and what to do) is solve, then you have taken a big step on your instruement.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's Degree on Arts, Perfomance Drum Set and a Minor in Latin Studies and Performance. I always love to play music and I wanted to get better at it. Play different styles and learn from amazing professors.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It started with the visual aspect. Seeing a drummer play seen a lot of fun. When I sat down and play the drum set for the first time, I was struck by the sound and vibration. It pulled me right away.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I got to study at Berklee College of Music and play with musicians from all over the world. Met amazing people and learn from teachers and other students. I was the president of a student group called Rhythm Club were we hosted clinics and had the chance to met percussionist from all over the world. I started my own project as band leader with profesional musicians. I also had the oportunity to tour and perform on 12 different states.
I have given clinics and in and outside the United States.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was not a teacher per se. I always loved music and the visual of drums and the drummer playing caught my attention. I had teachers who inspired me to play more and better and still, I get inspired when I hear someone play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific answer but rather different opinions. In my opinion, when the child has a sense of discipline then that is a good sign. Having a lesson requieres the student to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Patience from the teacher is a must but the willingness of the student must be there as well.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how well the student have manage to understand the information given plus the time invested on practicing. Setting short and long term goals helps the student see the results of his dedication.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice random things, avoid distractions, take brakes from your practice session, and set short and long term goals. Everytime you sit down and focus when you practice, you are becoming mor efficient in this process. Consistency is the key.
