The methods that I would typically use are the Arbans complete Conservatory method for trumpet and Cornet. Schlossberg´s Daily Drills and Studies, Clarkes method and Caruso. I have been studying these four methods quite some time now and understand not only the instruction on the page but the purpose of the excercise itself. So for each student and level a unique methodology would be put together. It is very important to point out that I studied these methods with masters such as Victor Paz. Read More

Instruments: Drums

My main objective is to give students the tools they need to evolve and follow their artistic drive. The lessons are typically divided in two parts: 1) A "technical" part on the snare drum to work on technique and rudiments. 2) A "music" part on the drums exploring technique and musical applications. I have everything needed in the studio to play along with a metronome and tracks. I always encourage my students to bring songs that they want to perform or work on, so that I can help decrypt, understand and own their favorite type of music. Read More

Depending on the level and specific interests of the student, I garner my curriculum towards their needs. For beginners, I start with Alfred's beginning drum method, and as they progress I incorporate my own additions to the material, as well as digging into the interests of the student. I am big on sharing recordings with students and introducing them to worlds of music they have likely not heard before. Depending on which areas the student naturally gravitates towards, I adjust the amount of time I spend on different areas, while never compromising the fundamentals of learning an instrument.
