Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
My musical experiences started at church in the 80's when I discovered that I could sing really high notes imitating Christian artists like Sandy Patty and the late puertorican soprano Yolanda Vadiz. Those experiences motivated me to consider studying music seriously not just like another hobby. I started studying voice techniques at the age of 20 at the Sacred Music Institute in the Methodist Church in Hato Rey, PR. There I took classes with tenor Jose Torres and baritone Rafael Cotto who prepared me for the audition at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. 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

Every student starting off deserves to feel comfortable and stress free when learning. Music is there to help us let go of every day life and to have something to express our creativity. No one should feel like playing music is a job and anything the student wishes to learn will be taught to them in a friendly environment. Students will learn everything to help them get started on their journey of playing the music they love the most and getting a nice jump start towards becoming teachers themselves. Read More

My teaching style stems from my philosophy that music is a language. So my approach is focused on using the skills and knowledge while "speaking", or playing, with other musicians. That is why my approach is focused on jamming. After the student can understand how to make the instrument sound, I immediately give them the oppertunity to put their skills into practice. I will take time from each lesson to just jam with the student and allow them to explore the instrument. Read More
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

Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I advice all students to know practicing does not have to happen all at once. When you go home and you are trying to figure out how much time you truly have to practice - write out a realistic timeline of how your day looks. Once you have written out how your days look assign about 30 - 45 minutes a day to music. Think of it this way. Your average television show is usually 30 minutes. If you watch 2 episodes of your favorite show, you can practice for that same amount of time. Developing skills is practicing. If you struggled with a specific part of a song at your lesson. I would suggest listening to the song and focus on how to fix that particular section by using the tools taught to you at your lesson.
For piano, I notice that a lot of beginner students will not practice because they didn't know what a note was while reading the staff. Usually the book in which the student is reading has the answers. Make sure to look back at the information provided to find the answers. USE THE INTERNET. Formulate questions and research.
When will I start to see results?
Honestly, this depends on the student and the level of their vocal and piano skill.
Every student has different practice habits. I always tell students to give lessons about 3 months before noticing significant change for piano and voice. Now for vocal students, some changes will happen immediately and some changes will take time. For piano students, results vary because some students may pick up on theory quickly but not piano playing or vice versa. Some styles might be easier to play versus others. Give lessons a few weeks before getting nervous about results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know that your child is practicing when you ask them to stop practicing. LOL. Honestly, if you hear your child singing in the shower or playing piano in the middle of the night you will at some point ask yourself - does he or she really need to practice that much. The answer is yes. In order to improve as a musician the student has to practice and sometimes they may practice at odd times. Now you can tell your child to practice after 8am and before 10pm at night.
The other sign that your child is practicing is through their behavior. If they begin to dislike lessons it is usually due to the dislike of practicing. If your child does not have the same excitement for piano or voice lessons anymore, it's usually because the student has now realized they do not like music at the level that requires them to practice.
Lastly, I will comment on the students practice habits.
