Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
My teaching experience dates began during my university days, as i began teaching private lessons part time for 3 month in France. 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 also found that learning the bases of music would help student to play multiple instrument and grow up as an artist. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching guitar and bass in 2003 just a few years after the movie 'School of Rock' came out and I decided I wanted to do something different with my students -- I wanted to teach to them how to be in their own dedicated bands. I taught them to write their own songs and how to have stage presence while in group classes at the same as teaching each individual band member their specific instrument in private lessons before or after band class.

My general approach to teaching is to mold my lesson plan around the students needs and wants, and it's extremely important that our lessons are fun for the student! This is especially true for children; if playing an instrument becomes "work"/"homework" they will probably lose interest pretty quickly. It's important to try to avoid that mindset, and keep it fun so that the student WANTS to pick up their instrument and play everyday. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Organ Latin Percussion
My music degree has an emphasis on Vocals and Perfomance. I have performed with a few local bands around the greater San Diego area and I am currently the lead singer of "Santana Pa Ti." I have played the drums for twenty years. I learned to play piano, organ and to compose music at Cuyamaca. Self-taught in guitar. I have played in venues such as House of Blues-San Diego, San Diego Zoo and Chicano Park's 47th Anniversary. Read More

Apart from only taeching, I also love to learn. I love to learn about what inspires people, about what motivates them and what they dream of becoming or acomplishing. No judgements, no rushing. Everybody learns at they're own speed. I set realistic goals and encourage students to find they're own style of expression. Learning music should always be fun. As a father of a 2 year old whom loves his guitar, I can teach from the youngest of students, to the more advanced ones. Read More

My teaching style begins with my assessment of each student's abilities, physical, mental, and emotional. By this method I am able to design a realistic program for each student. Patience and encouragement go hand in hand, acknowledging their accomplishments all along the way. Once some fundamentals are established, I add pieces that the student has an interest in learning. In preparing for recitals I often accompany students which adds not only enjoyment for them but encouragement for them to overcome hesitancy to perform publicly. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir director! I had always loved singing, but she really inspired me with her encouragement, respect for me, and the opportunities she gave me. She made me into such a confident person and singer, and I have so much gratitude for her. Because of her, I decided that I wanted to do the same thing for other people.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been singing for my entire life! I loved singing more than anything in the world. For my second birthday, I received a bucket of sand toys, but I took the bucket and started playing it like a drum. As a child, I used to sing Disney songs for my family in the living room. I loved performing and being on the stage for as long as I could remember. Singing has just always been a part of me!
When will I start to see results?
Most of my students will begin seeing results immediately. I am extremely thorough with my students, and I will give them suggestions for how to improve immediately. Like learning anything, you're going to constantly improve. I am not a miracle worker. Most of the work has to come from you. I make sure to give my students the tools for successful singing, and then it is up to them to put that to practice. Your results will come faster if you practice effectively.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my opinion, voice lessons should not begin until a child starts puberty. This is a controversial statement, but based on my background in vocal health studies, I have found that it is more appropriate for children to begin lessons once they are beginning puberty; even after puberty. From the time a child is born to the time they reach puberty, this is a critical time for vocal exploration. Musical aptitude does not level out until the age of 9, and the voice changes during puberty in both males and females. Kids who are singers should spend their childhood singing songs and exploring their voices, and then the formal training should begin at puberty.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice voice too much! I always advise my students to practice, at MOST, 30 minutes a day. The voice is not like a regular instrument. Practicing too much can make your voice tired and even cause some vocal injuries. I believe that singing should be fun! I never want my students to become stressed or tired due to practicing too much. When practicing, I advise my students to sing a song we've been working on, record themselves. and listen to the recording. Think of some technical aspects that could be improved and sing it again!
