Though I have strongly sharpened my skills and can adapt to almost any learning style, I continue to research and experiment and find different ways to adapt to my students. My love for music and my desire to see students succeed creates an infinite amount of patience and understanding within the context of our lessons. I can empathize with enjoyment for learning as well as frustration in failure. This enables me to share the solutions that I've found to the mistakes I've made over the years with my students so that they develop good habits from the beginning. Read More

My approach to teaching is to make sure my students have fun while they're learning and growing. It's important for students to learn to have fun while playing the same scale or rudiment over and over, and I think this is entirely possible! I also think it's important for students to see just exactly what their hard work is striving them toward. Setting up realistic goals for them and then helping them achieve them is pertinent to the process. Read More

For beginning students I select special lessons. I am careful to choose the appropriate music for each age. if there is a child, for me is very important the relationship with the parents, because they know a lot of goals from the child.

The limits and barriers to learning, will have for each case solutions, taking care of the aspirations and needs of each person. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I started playing professionally in 10th grade. My first gig was a theatre gig, which was the musical, Anything Goes. During high school I picked up more theatre gigs, including annual church pageants. I marched two years in Drum Corps International with the Kiwanis Kavaliers while I was beginning my degree in Music Education. During my time in school I taught three drum lines and brought several successful percussion ensembles to contest. Read More

Again, analyzing some music together that the student is interested in is part of the process. Music theory will be discussed! Theory will not dominate the conversation unless the student shows a high interest for this. Some basic theory as it related to chords, chord progressions, scales, and music in general will certainly be beneficial. I will say, if you are wanting to learn how to "shred" like Eddie Van Halen or some of the hard rock/metal guys, I won't be much help unless a music theory discussion is needed. Read More
