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).

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 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 the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I believe first and foremost in supporting and developing what musically inspires a student’s decision to study and/or play music. In order to fully develop control, musicality and understanding of the music language, it is important to focus on several aspects of music including music theory (scale and harmonic structure/function and rhythm) ear-training, reading and performance skills. Like any aspect of life, consistency and patience are two very important qualities to posses when working towards a goal. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More

Under my instruction, creativity is nurtured along side of every technique and skill that I teach. This will help the student develop the ability to create their own original music and deepen their interest in their instrument. I also try my best to make learning and practicing as fun and musical as possible. Of course, we must first learn how to make the instrument sound and how to maintain the instrument. Read More

Instruments: Violin
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Definitely the first time I played concertmaster in a collegiate ensemble. One of my most memorable moments as a violinist was playing Lark Ascending in the BW Conservatory Convocation, a prestigious recital where the best people in the school perform. Finally, the greatest highlight of my musical career thus far was performing the Bach Chaconne on my senior recital.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation. If you're playing a piano, if any of the notes are out of tune, it's the piano tuner's fault. Between all of the right notes on a violin's strings are a whole lot of notes that are just barely NOT right, and due to how athletic and intense so much of the violin's repertoire is, it's difficult to have perfect intonation at all times. The tragedy is that that lack of perfect intonation is very noticeable... It's an uphill battle for sure.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I teach out of the Galamian and Flesch scale books, I use Kreutzer for etudes, and as far as repertoire goes, I take many excerpts from Suzuki books.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
The first step is establishing perfect form in the left and right hands. I play a lot of exercises on open strings for my right hand and I spend just as much time building strength and proper shape in the left hand. When my body is optimal condition, I move on to accelerating scales, Galamian style. I then spend about a half hour on etudes before doing slow, detailed work on my repertoire with a metronome and drone.
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 BA in Violin Performance from BW! I decided to pursue this degree because I was good at it and because of how much I loved the school's Conservatory program.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Bach Chaconne. Bach holds a special place in my heart, because it is the perfect synthesis of human emotion and masterful technique. No piece exemplifies this more than the Chaconne, which is one of the greatest masterpieces to ever grace the world of classical music.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
In my free time, I love writing, arts and crafts, and my cat, Chip. I'd have to say that I'd be either a writer of a veterinarian!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Either Baroque or Contemporary. I love the flowing counterpoint of Baroque music, and I love the eccentric, fresh energy that is carried in all things Contemporary. This is probably because I have a lot of composer friends!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I don't, but one day, I'd like to learn the viola.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandfather was a music educator specializing in band, and my dad was an excellent saxophone player before he decided to change the direction of his life and focus on English. My mom played the guitar back in her college days.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I started getting more serious about the violin in high school, my life reached a turning point. I was getting better grades. I was becoming a better person. Music changes your life for the better, and experiencing life turns you into a better musician. By senior year, I knew that I wanted to pursue this professionally.
