Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Double Bass Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love working with my students. Its the best part of my job. I love seeing the natural progression of my students. I let students progress at a state that they are comfortable with. I push my students but I know where to draw the line. Asking a student to play a note then all of their scales is not what I do. I tailor every single lesson to every single one of my individual students. Read More

I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More

I have been teaching not only music but other subjects such as computer science, mathematics, English, and social studies since I was in high school. I have served as a teaching assistant through graduate school and have taught in both private and classroom settings. I am comfortable with all ages.

Instruments: Guitar Drums
Immediately after graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to enroll at the Musicians Institute (MI) Drum Performance Program, granted with two scholarships, the ‘Musicianship Scholarship’ and the ‘International Musicians Merit Scholarship’. I am very proud of the 15+ years of teaching music and the formal training I had in Music Education and at MI. In 2015, I had the opportunity to teach symphonic percussion to teenagers at Escola de Música da OSPA (Porto Alegre’s Symphony Orchestra school). Read More

My focus with each student is to tune into them in a way that I can then assess their physical, mental and emotional abilities. I ask each student what they want to learn with their instrument. If they do not know, we then start with the basics to establish a solid foundation in music with their instrument. Along the way, I ask the student what kind of music they like. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice effectively you need a few things in order to make sure you get the best out of practices and one of these things is consistency. By allowing yourself to create a schedule or routine and stick to that method you are laying the very foundation of familiarity in practice while solidifying your playing. The second thing is efficiency. By practicing the right things for your level at the right tempo, you train your brain and muscle memory to effectively play what you need to be played.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is one of the harder questions simply because all children develop at different rates. Some would argue that its never too early to begin lessons of some sort no matter how simple they may be while others argue the opposite, that they need to be developed enough in order to correctly soak up the information given to them.
I would say when you notice that your child's capacity/curiosity for music outweighs their ability to do regular things other than delve into music, would be the time to consider lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary but you could actually start to see results in as little as a few days! Each person learns, absorbs and adapts to material thrown at them differently so there is no guaranteed time that could be realistically given right away to gauge it. While there cannot be a guaranteed time there can be a lapse of time considered or timeline that most people can be categorized into. In that sense most people who are expecting to see results, (if consistent in their practice regimen ) usually see results within a week or a little more.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing right away is limb independence. Drums require you to be able have essentially 4 different limbs, do 4 different things (5 if you count your voice as an extension) Because of this, tackling the drum kit right away can seem like an impossible task. Most people have trouble rubbing their stomach and patting their head! (I think I got that right) So imagine trying to get your mind to do 4-5 separate things at once while trying to maintain a solid groove, solid time, and knowing where the song is headed. Pretty tough.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music has been in my family for as long as I can actively remember. While I was young, my mother sang in our local churches choir as well as my uncle. I would always just watch the musicians play whilst mimicking the drummer. I eventually inherited the singing from them but drums was the instrument that spoke to me at the very early age of 5. My mother would constantly listen to jazz around the house, day in and day out. There wouldn't be a day when I didn't hear smooth jazz or classical jazz which influenced my sound heavily.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think I've always known that being a professional musician was something that I always wanted to. Ever since I was 5 years old, beating on pots and pans, I believe it was just my "calling" if you will. I would say if there was ever a moment that could be considered defining, then it would be in 2012 when I was attending The Art Institute for Media Arts and Animation. I thought that it was what I wanted at the time and when I realized that no matter how many hours I put into it, I would still hate it, I knew that moving on was the best approach.
