Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard

My teaching journey began during my college years, and for the past ten years, I've been sharing my musical expertise by offering private lessons. Over the last five years, I've consistently taught students in my home studio. One of the key principles I prioritize, especially with younger students, is instilling the importance of regular, consistent practice. I firmly believe that this practice routine not only facilitates progress but also ignites a passion for the instrument. Read More

I like to ensure that all of my students have rock-solid foundations, so basics like time, dynamics, and phrasing will be things I constantly return to. But once we have created a strong base to build on, I enjoy letting students work at their own pace that fits their goals. We'll focus on the styles of music that YOU want to play, and won't waste time working on things that aren't important to you. Read More

When receiving a student I first like to get to know the student by friending them. Asking question as to what their likes are and just getting to know them. For the beginner we start of with a Method book that fits their age and personaity and go from there. For the student that already has had past music experience I like to hear them play at first and see at what level they are to be able to place them on the correct method. Read More

My aim is to motivate, inspire, challenge and empower you to become the best version of yourself. I firmly believe that the best way to get the best out of the lessons is to communicate and be open to listening to what each other have to say.

I mostly do paperless. Less money involved, less waste of papers. I use a lot of videos and recordings. The principal instrument that needs to be trained is the hears. Brain and fingers immediately after. When a method is necessary, based on level of the student and topics studied, I recommend Creative Guitar by Guthrie Govan 1 and 2; Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick and The Lesson by Victor Wooten. This last one is not properly a method, but an incredible book about music and musicians, that teaches more than the big majority of methods out there Read More

I taught there for more than ten years, at one of the most prestigious music schools in Argentina. Throughout my career as a music professor, I was frequently tasked with this academic duty of instructing varied and distinct student groups. Additionally, I have performed as a musician and artist on tour in Colombia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. Due to my established career as a teacher, I am compelled to organize teaching activities during my concert tours. Read More

I know that music is about developing a vocabulary. Developing the ability to construct music without the need for a teacher is the direction I like to go in. A good teacher will only guide the student not dictate to them. Having an interest in many styles of music allows me the chance to be more open to teaching the beauty of writing a simple 3 chord progression or orchestrating for a full orchestra. Read More
