My teaching experience started in college as I taught group music classes in outreach programs and in internships. I now teach as young as preschool up to 8th grade on a regular basis.

Music has been a paramount part of my development in growing up as a person. I grew up listening to all kinds of different genres, and eventually developed an aspiration to do music for a living.

However, regardless of the goal, my philosophy is to empower each student to discover their sound and voice on their instrument. Of course, we will still go over the fundamentals and essential "building blocks" of music, but also develop musical personality in the process. Read More

I got my start when I was six and picked up the guitar. From there I played in various local bands and wound up at the renowned Florida State University where I studied classical guitar. While there I expanded my knowledge of theory, practice approach, and audio production. In 2016 I had the opportunity to perform with George Clinton in an Old Time Ensemble through Florida State. After graduation I moved to Los Angeles where I cut my teeth in the audio engineering world and learned from the best about production and performance. Read More

My teaching career started while I was performing in Philadelphia. There was a need for music teachers in the area, so I accepted an invitation to teach to children of El Taller Puertorriqueño. What a satisfaction to see my students grow and understand the beauty of music! That was a motivation and still is today! Since then, the passion for teaching grew in me with my performing career. I moved to different states and every time I looked for venues to teach. Read More
