Every student learns differently and at a different pace. It is my goal to help a student find their potential and even develop a passion for music in the process. I like to understand where a student is at in terms of goals, evaluate what it takes to accomplish these goals, and work with them using stepping stones if needed. The idea is to tailor my instruction to the goals of the student to help them achieve success and fufillment! Read More

I always like to simplify the information delivery and maximize the playing. For this reason and, considering the differences that make us all unique, I would generally rely on specific methods depending on the needs of each student. Of course, in general terms, most beginners would have quite a lot of transcribing (playing songs or relevant parts of songs of important musicians), most intermediate students will learn some scales and chords and their uses and most advanced students will learn chord melody (solo guitar), improvising and comping in different styles and writing and arranging songs.

When will I start to see results?
Mostly you can get some results right away on the lesson. This I call discoveries. But to keep them and nail them you would need to practice them for a while, depending on your level, previous habits and a lot of other factors it can take different time. In average for singing, I would say it takes 6 month to a year to see a real improvement. But this fully depends on the intensity of your practice. If you practice 6 days a week with one day of silence and your daily practice is at least 15-20 minutes (I'd say 45 minutes to an hour is the perfect time) plus you see a teacher at least once a week, it'll bring amazing results! Try it for 3 months straight and if I am wrong, please let me know
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre is Musical Theater. Maybe because a theater is my biggest passion ever, but also maybe because the music for Musical Theater is so different and the singing styles can vary from show to show. I love that in Musical Theater you really can sing everything
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always warm up first for 5-10 minutes. Then depending on how much time I have I either do some exercises for another 20-30 minutes or get to learning the song right away. I am usually using the recordings from my previous sessions with my vocal teacher to nail the exercises that we tried on the session. When learning the song I am usually repeating the melody first to make sure I didn't miss any notes ... It happens so often to everyone! I am usually use the sheet music and play the melody to myself in a slow tempo and make sure I hit all the notes correctly/ Then, depending on how ready is my song I either sing it in an original tempo with a backing track or a little slower, so I pronounce all the words correctly and, again, hit all the right notes. And when I feel like technically it is ready, I start practicing the intonation and artistry.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing is to keep believing in yourself. Especially when you try to get into the professional world. Sometimes you feel like you worked so hard, but you are still not good enough... But this is a wrong impression! Believe in yourself, there is nobody else like you! Be patient, be consistent, analyze your practice always, fix your mistakes and you will see how quickly you are getting results.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to be a singer when I was 9. I don't remember the exact moment, but I remember the feeling of confidence. Funny that before I decided to become a performer, I wanted to be a teacher. I even tried a little teaching session with kids from first grade when I was in third grade.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your kid shows a passion to singing (or any other music instrument) and he or she has developed the voluntary attention they are ready for private lessons. The voluntary attention usually is being formed by 7 years old, but different people are different. The voluntary attention is attention that is deliberately applied and controlled by the individual.
But still, just listen to your kid. They do have a right to change their mind later, but if they show a passion or the interest to some particular subject, just let them try.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at least 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Consistency is the most effective method. Record your practice with your teacher and practice at home again using this recording, try to analyze your recording and fix mistakes.
