Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
The most satisfying moment as a teacher is when a student finally "gets it", and for students, I find that lessons are the most fun when the student feels capable and not overwhelmed. I like to challenge my students and encourage them to exceed even their own expectations of their abilities. With this in mind, my overall teaching philosophy emphasizes gaining technical mastery over the student's chosen instrument, strong music reading and theory skills, along with creativity and improvisation to turn them into well rounded players who can hold their own in just about any music setting from the stage to the studio.

I have been teaching private lessons for 10 years. Encouraging students to practice regularly and to have fun with their instrument is essential for the learning process. I stress the importance of these two things so that the student may develop a love for music and their instrument of choice. Also, being able to teach a variety of musical styles keeps students wanting to learn. I encourage students to not only learn written pieces, but to create their own music and individual sound.

Functional Voice Method, also known as Rabine Method is a voice pedagogy created by singer, chorus director and voice teacher Maestro Eugene Rabine. Voice health is essential and the cornestone of this pedagogy. Understanding our physiollogy and anatomy and how to reach a balance in wich the vocal cords can work with no extra stress or tension. Self-perception is the guide and nothing is more comfortating that getting in touch with our own physiology, rather than follow external rules or images of how our voices should work or sound.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I feel as though everyone has a creative block every now and then it’s something that every musician deals with. I can definitely say sometimes I go through slumps where I’m having a musical wall and meet a breakthrough but that just pushes me to further my plane and think of new concepts and ideas to take it to the next level. Mastery and creative blocks are one of the hardest things to conquer when playing in any instrument but it’s also something that I find can be mastered over time with hard work and diligence.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Several of my students have received fans from their own music because of my lessons and musical training which is helped improve their own bands and musical endeavors. I can’t say they’re winning Grammys but they are definitely making moves in the music world and improving their lives which is the greatest reward to me in my opinion. Every student should have a special goal that they are trying to achieve with my lesson should be doing to help them. I am proud of my students and what they have achieved through my lessons.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’m definitely proud of all of the live shows and traveling I have achieved with playing guitar. Most of all I’m definitely proud of my endorsements and instruments I received from playing all these years. To be able to travel the world meet new places try new foods and experience new things in life are the greatest accomplishments to me. There’s nothing more for filling in life than that I can definitely say that it has made everyone in my family proud and above all myself which is most important.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I’ve always had a huge fascination with playing Atari ever since I was younger. The things you were able to create with plain is something that other instruments didn’t seem appealing to me. The sound and the playability of the instrument is what really stuck out to me playing guitar something that I always found inspiring to do and still feel that way to this day whenever I pick it up. Like they always say, everyone secretly wants to play guitar whether they admit it or not! Guitar will always be my passion.
