Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My goal is to inspire and invigorate my students with the gift of music. Scales and fingering/vocal exercises can become boring and tiresome especially for new and younger students. I find ways to make these more mundane parts of the lesson fun with games and veiled learning that keep students engaged. Together we'll set realistic goals at each lesson and make sure we acknowledge at the end of the lesson how we've progressed and what we need to work on. Read More

I have taught dozens students from over 20 countries about songwriting, guitar playing, singing, lyric writing, piano, ukulele and more. Since 2011 I have played in over 1000 stages, starting in my hometown of Corrientes, Argentina, at first playing on the streets for tips and later moving onto bars, later theaters, and now touring full time. Teaching has always been something I have gravitated towards, specially after several requests from my listeners. I have ample examples of frustrated or disillusioned kids and adults that left my classes with their heads held high, because they finally felt they were moving another more step towards their musical goals.

Instruments: Guitar
I've been teaching guitar and general music lessons since high school, where I would assist the music teacher in guitar and theory classes because of my advanced skill level. During my undergraduate studies in college, I put myself through school teaching private lessons in my home and at various music stores, churches, and performing arts schools, teaching around 200 students in 5 years. When I went back to school to get my masters degree, I was awarded an assistantship and taught music theory, music appreciation, jazz ensembles, and jazz improvisiation at the university, in addition to keeping a robust private guitar studio on the side.

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students. In 2011 I graduated from Haverford College as a Music Minor and History Major. I write songs constantly and have performed hundreds of times as both a solo artist and with bands that I have formed. I have performed in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana. I work every day to become a better singer, songwright, and instrumentalist, and I appreciate working with those who share a similar drive to excel. Read More

As a drummer, I keep a smooth shuffle currently for 3 different rhythm blues bands who perform around New Orleans' Frenchmen Street and other top venues. I've also clocked studio sessions on bass, keys, violin, and viola. Viola and Violin came into my life as an adult and committed myself for 5+ to conquering the difficult fundamentals of these rewarding instruments. Currently in my spare time I enjoy learning baroque and classical music on piano. Read More

I have a firm belief as a teacher that you can really enrich someones life through learning and challenge. As long as I can remember I have been surrounded by music. I have been playing drums for over 20 years since the age of nine, and have been playing guitar, keyboards, bass as well as singing for 10 years. I took my passion for music further by enrolling at Roosevelt University, Chicago College of Performing Arts and studied drum set under the direction of grammy award winning drummer Paul Wertico.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own place. I encourage this by setting goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, but not in the way of playing instruments. My Dad and my Grandpa were both huge music enthusiasts. My Dad had a room in his small house dedicated to his records. I probably spent at least one night a week in that room throughout my childhood
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was somewhat gradual. I started on clarinet originally in school because I just found music fascinating. Later I picked up guitar and fell in love. My original goal from there was to be a 'rock star'. And I tried lol. But after about 6-7 years of heavy practice, I got a teaching opportunity and I realized it was my calling. Been teaching ever since
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play many instruments. I'd say my second favorite after the 6 string, is the 4 string guitar- more popularly known as a 'bass'. But I also love and teach ukulele. From there my favorites are vocals (I count the human voice as an instrument), drums, harmonica and piano
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
That's a tough one. I've always seen Flight of the Bumblebee, played CORRECTLY and at the right tempo a huge challenge. I've never quite accomplished. Perhaps one of these days!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
An artist of some kind. But the joke is on you because I already am. I love to write and to create art, whether it be drawing or painting. And of course, I'd probably try to teach those things! But we only have so much time in life unfortunately
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I refuse to pick a favorite genre. I love rock, metal, blues, folk, classical, etc. I've said for years, my favorite music has SOUL. I want to feel like I'm looking into the 'heart' of the musician
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
If you want to learn how to read music the 'old fashioned way', so standard notation, I love Hal Leonard. Otherwise I teach the rest of my students 'off the cuff' but don't let that fool you. I have a full curriculum in my head that could go on for years. I have some current students that I've been teaching over a decade and we're not done yet! (not that you have to go that long. As I always say when asked, I will NEVER be done learning myself. There are always skills to get better at)
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me? I pick a goal and go for it. Which broken down means, I'll play it (recording is a great tool for this) and then analyze what could have been better. Then I focus on solutions to the problem, and then repeat.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not sure about awards honestly. But I ran a music venue where many of them graced the stage. I've so many of my students become great musicians and perform for their friends and family
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The first couple months is the hardest, when everything is still a bit awkward. Get used to knowing how to place your fingers and things can start to take off
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
How you practice is more important than how much you practice. Spending 10 minutes of focused practice, with the goal to get better, is way better than an hour where you're barely paying attention
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
So many. But one that stands out was an album I made with one of my bands. Every note is just how we wanted it :) But nothing makes me more proud than seeing so many of my students over the last 25 years experience the love of music firsthand
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love that it's easy to carry around. You can take it camping or to the park or go hide away in a room somewhere. P.s. I also love and teach ukulele and bass!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not really. My best teacher has been life, and meeting many musicians along the way. But nothing has really taught much like the act of teaching others
When will I start to see results?
You will see results right away. But it depends on what results means to you. If you plant a flower, it's already growing. Blooming will take time
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
In my experience, 6 is the perfect age to start (obviously older is fine too). Definite bonus if they feel like they are willing to make time to practice on a regular basis
