Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Teaching guitar and bass began for me around the same time I stared gigging seriously. People who were at the show or even people in other bands would come up and ask if I gave lessons. I developed a lesson plan and began teaching. I have taught both beginners and advanced players but most of my students have been just starting out. Through my program, my students typically learn how to make music with their instrument relatively quickly as I believe that is a key factor in keeping them interested in playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I usually see what level the student is on and we go from there. The age and interest of the students will also tell me which way to go in the lesson. Usually with beginner students the Hal Leonard book is a good place to start but I'm willing to start with any beginning book. If the students are just interested in one specific thing then we focus on that. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love seeing students develop a deep and lasting passion for the guitar! I want every student to feel at ease and comfortable while learning and help them set goals that push them to achieve whatever they set out to, while eager to learn more. My hope is to provide lessons in a clear and easy-to-follow to manner, so they can not only make progress in the lesson itself, but carry forward what they learn into their day-to-day practicing outside of the lessons and utilize the techniques effectively toward their progress on the guitar.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I truly believe that if students are happy and enjoying what they play they will want to practice and sound better. I encourage students to try classical but we will dive into a more modern approach. Original compositions can also be a fun great way for students to want to practice. I also have a strong music theory and technology background to really make sure they are amazed by understanding the world of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I began teaching while I was still a student at the Conservatory of Music in the 1990's I was Voice Teacher at the Intermezzo Music School in Guaynabo, PR. I taught all ages from 7 - 69. I stayed there for 7 years. I also gave private singing lessons to students at my own home in Carolina, PR. And then, I proceded to give voice lessons at different churches like the Methodist Church (where I also founded and directed the choir), Evangelical Church (where I gave voice lessons at the Biblical Institute to prospect Worship Leaders).

Instruments: Guitar Trombone Drums Orchestral Percussion Djembe
I try to keep things lighthearted and fun, but also demand a lot from my students and hope for regular practice to push them to new heights. Music is fun, but with hard work the lessons will pay off with the reward of improved music ability. I always incorporate music that the student is interested in and challenge them to be able to play their favorite songs. I tailor my lessons to fit the needs of the student, and cater to all different types of students. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! My mother is the most musical of them all. Her mother played saxophone, banjo, and piano. My mother plays piano and taught it to my siblings and I when we were younger. They went on to learn some different instruments while I stuck with piano and then more. My father also played trumpet!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
That's a great question! I decided to start teaching full time after I realized that I simply adore teaching and having a life filled with creating, teaching, listening to and producing music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Folk, Indie, and Classical. I enjoy the predictable but beautiful nature of classical music, while I also enjoy the unpredictable and fun elements in folk and indie.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I thought, "How cool would it be to play guitar?" and I wanted to be able to play it in the worship team at my church. At 15, I picked up the guitar and the rest is history! Then I learned ukulele because it's such a happy and fun instrument. I started singing more and joined choir, and then I picked up the bass!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe if I wasn't a musician I would be a nutritionist or lawyer instead! Those two seem pretty distant from each other. I am passionate about finding the truth and also about health.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I actually really enjoy conducting and would love to conduct Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. The music in The Legend of Zelda is just so beautiful and you can get so easily immersed in it!
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 of Science in Music Business due to my interest in music production. I went on to pursue a Master's in Music Theory because i couldn't get enough of how Music works and why! I wanted to understand it more and chose this field because I also want to teach theory.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have gotten callbacks for auditions for a musical and gotten the part they wanted. Others have recieved small trophies based on passing a musical test.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Playing with both hands at different speeds! You just have to remember to take it one step at a time and it will come gradually get easier. :)
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Keith Snell
Faber Piano Adventures
Hal Leonard
I am most familiar with these methods. The main reason I choose piano adventures is because they have multiple books that go along with what you learn in the lesson, which helps with repetition and completely explaining a concept!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First, I play through multiple scales, chord progressions, and arpeggios. I make sure they are all the same speed and if I have some mistakes, I slow it down and clean it up.
Then I observe my piece of music. If I have a general understanding of the piece, I play through it all together and then go over the problem spots slowly and hands together! That's how I handle practicing piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My albums on Spotify and my compositions for brass quintet, string trio, and string quintet plus woodwinds! I'm also very proud of some of my other compositions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For younger students, practice 15 minutes at a time. Make this time dedicated and very intentional. You can achieve a lot more in 15 minutes of focused work than 30 minutes of distracted work. For 12 and up, I recommend practicing for about 30 minutes and taking small breaks to play whatever you would like..
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It definitely depends on the instrument! See how well they do with their attention span. Staying focused for 30 minutes can be difficult even for us adults! If the student is under 5 I do not recommend lessons just yet. They also need their fingers to be a bit more developed so they can control their fine motor skills on these instruments.
When will I start to see results?
This all depends on how much the student practices and their aptitude. It does come down to the teacher, but practicing and progressing is both the teacher's responsibility and the student's/parent's.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a fantastic base instrument. You can learn the concepts of music on an instrument where you can see the keys, as well as learn concepts that are much easier to teach using the piano. My mother taught me at a very young age. I gave up piano around 6 years old and took lessons again when I was 12. I fell in love with how beautiful it sounded.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Music in general inspired me. I couldn't imagine a life without it And because it was so impactful to me, I wanted to share that joy with others!
