I like giving my students the right tools,lesson by lesson,enabling them to proceed through the learning process.I usually start observing what the student come up with,wether on drums or piano and then I use their natural talent or inspiration to connect to my teaching path .This way I'm able to really engage with them,keeping them on that inspiration that brought them to me.I always try to adapt my style to the student inclinations since some of them are more for instinctive learning others more for academic learning.

For beginning students I believe in building a solid foundation in technique and appreciation for the drum set. This is something that I try to move through fairly quickly as to help the student progress to material that they are interested in. From there we will continue to build their foundation, but by learning from material that they have brought in. From there I believe that one of the most important things a teacher can do for a student is to expose them to materials that they otherwise would not have access to. Read More

My formal education culminated in a B.A. in Music History Literature from Hood College, where I graduated in 2010 magna cum laude and with departmental honors. Read More

One of the most important things that I strive for is seeing a student enjoy themselves and discover a passion for music like I did.

I will guide my students to set realistic goals that they can achieve by our next lesson time, and push them to express their own creativity and interests in their playing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Latin Percussion Keyboard

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. I have explored multiple avenues to connect with my students and firmly believe professors should be guides and mentors, more than fill the students with knowledge that they are later supposed to sort out themselves.

I draw inspiration largely from my Rudolf Steiner-inspired pre-college education and my Carl Orff-inspired higher education. Waldorf/Steiner education "emphasizes the role of imagination in learning, striving to integrate holistically the intellectual, practical, and artistic development of pupils" while the Orff Approach "combines music, movement, drama, and speech into lessons that are similar to child's world of play."

For 13 years I have developed unique ways of teaching and learning the art of drum set playing. No matter what you specifically want to learn (song, style, fill, solo) I will not only teach you how to do it but how to expand on it and make it your own. I've taught privately for 12 years and taught through the School Of Rock for 5 years, both in individual and ensemble settings. Read More
