Instruments: Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe

Each student is unique in their own way, from how they learn to how they produce an end product. But one thing I stress in my teaching with all students is demonstration, imitation and repetition. The old adage that says, "practice makes perfect", is not always right. If the student is practice wrong, they will perform it wrong. I believe its my responsibility to demonstrate how it is done right so they can imitate it right and make sure that they are repeating it correctly. Read More

My teaching style is based on an open system, which allows the student to express their ideas and concerns about the topics covered in each lesson, in order to build the educational strategy that can best benefit the student. As an professor, the educational development of each student will always be a priority, but as a musician I recognize that there are activities that can facilitate this work, such as collaborations between different students to perform chamber music, collaborations between the student and the teacher to play musical duos during lessons, among other activities that keep the student interested and curious at all times.

If you are already familiar with the basics of playing trumpet, we will work on the specific areas you want to work on. Read More

I have made sure to transfer all of these skills to my private teaching. I am very direct with my students and act as facilitator in lesson discussions, and to try not making decisions for them. I heavily employ the "trial by fire" and "sink or swim" methods, as I've found those the most effective in my lifetime of learning new things. However, I am flexible in going back and reteaching and remodeling, as long as we still keep our "eyes on the prize", whether that be personal rewards, scholastic musical awards, musical career advancement, music therapy approach/feelings, etc. Read More

I work very hard, and I enjoy seeing the progress you achieve as we move on with classes. Until now i have raised many talents, that have finished their bachelor's and master's degrees and some of which are globally known musicians. As a flautist I have performed with many orchestras, chamber orchestras, and choirs and held solo recitals and fundraising concerts for local music schools. Recently I have recorded a piece written by American composer and guitarist Garth Baxter. Read More
