Additional areas of study included: different genres of music; playing rhythms of different song styles; understanding chord diagrams & reading tablature; and developing improvisation skills by learning how chords fit in a musical key, and relative scales.

I am an experienced music teacher with a background in rock, blues, and folk music. As a self-taught guitarist, drummer, and harmonica player, I have years of experience both teaching and performing music. After studying classical guitar, voice, and music education at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, I graduated from Appalachian State university with a master's in guitar performance in August of 2022. I strive to help my students develop and achieve their own musical goals while also helping to provide a structured approach to developing instrumental skills. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have found that the witnessing a student's development of a passion for music is a very rewarding experience. For each student to freely expressive their self through their music, it is important that they are allowed to progress at their own pace. I constantly evaluate where a student is at in their growth to ensure that material is challenging, but not frustrating. Acknowledging each success, large or small, during the learning process is important for students to feel encouraged and fulfilled at they work towards their musical goals. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 40 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 20 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I use a variety of methods to teach. Each lesson is unique and geared towards the need of that individual student. I work with teaching the basics of the techniques and work my way forward towards more difficult techniques at a pace comfortable for the student. Read More

I started giving trombone lessons to grade and high school student's since 2005. In 2006 I started leading concert and jazz bands. Immediately out of college in 2008 I worked as a music teacher teaching guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and voice for 3 years. In 2011, I moved to Peru where I was the #1 on call jazz trombonist in Lima, and was a trombone professor at the National Conservatory of music where I taught trombone technique and jazz improvisation.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was just a decision that happened from one moment to another because I started to play when I was 9, I said to myself "I am already on this, so let's do it perfectly" and here I am 16 years after that moment.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a Lawyer. It is a very different area, but I really like to make justice for people, I have the capacity to see different points of view at the same time, but I love my career and I would not change it for anything else.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have gotten 100% of the scholarship on my Bachelor's degree at the Universidad de Chile and now I got also 100% of the scholarship on my Artist Diploma Program at Duquesne University.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my family is very musical people, all of them play at least one musical instrument, I think my talent comes from there so. It is very funny to make music together.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Constant practice and motivation. I think it is a very important fact to improve, and also it is hard to have constant motivation sometimes, with all our problems, or distractions...
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed this piece, it is the Brahms Violin Concerto in D minor.
I love this piece since I am very young, and it is because it has many contrasts, melodic and beautiful parts that touch the soul of people. It is just wonderful.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child can start to have lessons, in different levels of learning. There exist lessons of pre-violin or pre-music if the child is too young, and it is good for them to know the music world.
When will I start to see results?
I would say after the first month of lessons, overall my students are ready to play easy songs on the violin. It depends also on how much time the student practices at home.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A student needs to know first how much time he/she has for practicing, after that, to select what pieces they will practice. Put a timing for each piece and practice slowly. Repeating, and doing it by short spots.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am specialized in classical music, and I love it. All the history that is behind all that music is very unique, and I like to know the history of each piece I have to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have had successful students that have had awards in scholarships to buy their own instrument, that have been selected in advanced orchestras of the music school and they have the principal positions there. Also, they have played as a soloist with the orchestra of the music school.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Performance on violin, and fine arts, and I am also a candidate for a certificate of an Artist Diploma Program. I choose music because it is beautiful, the role of music on society, it is very important and it is unique.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really do not know, it came to my head as a vision. I do not even remember where I saw it first, but one day I thought about that instrument, and I never forget about it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first violin teacher had a lot of patience with me, he was always explaining everything in a very detailed way and he showed us many beautiful things about music and its function in the lives of the people.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, organization of all you have to practice and timing of that and make repetitions of short spots of music. Also, it is important to practice slowly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use a mixed-method based on Suzuki, and I use also my own methodology, I paint also the music for younger students and I sing with them a lot. I use the Suzuki books, Fiddle time joggers, and Laoureaux.
