For beginning children students I typically start with Hal Leonard or a similar reputable music book. Once the students has a grasp of the fundamentals we will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their age and skill level. For adult students, I find out what the student is interested in and create a lesson plan that is fun and challenging no matter their skill level. I studied the Suzuki method as a youngster so I understand the importance of ear training and sight reading. Read More

I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
There are so many different ways to approach music, and so many different avenues one can go down, which is why I prefer to cater to the students learning style and interests. I want to bring in a variety of approaches to the lesson such as theory, sight-reading, and ear training. A big regret I have as a student is not learning early on, the framework and inner workings of the pieces I was playing. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first Classical Guitar teacher, Mr.Patrick Kerber (A classical guitar professor at Southeastern Louisiana University), was a gigantic inspiration for me. He studied personally under the legendary classical guitarist Pepe Romero. It was through him that I truly discovered the Classical Guitar. He began teaching me Mr.Romero's technique and musical phrasing that has lasted me until now, and will forever be the arch-stone of my playing. I went on and decided that I needed to study with Mr.Romero directly and joined the Celedonio Romero Institute, where every summer for 5 years I studied personally with Pepe Romero, among other members of his quartet, "Los Romeros" musicians that have won countless Grammies, been recipients of honorary doctorates from prestigious universities, were knighted by the Spanish nobility, and etc. Along studying personally with them, I also had the opportunities to perform in masterclasses held by them, and play along side them in orchestral performances as well as ensemble performances. Together we played pieces like "Concierto de Aranjuez" by Joaquin Rodrigo, "Fantasia para un Gentilhombre" by Rodrigo, "El Baile de Luis Alonso" by Geronimo Giminez, and much more.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child desires to begin playing! The sooner a student begins taking lessons from a teacher the better. It's better to learn under instruction so that the student does not develop bad habits. Specifically tension-- tension can lead to many injuries with excessive playing. I'm here to make playing the instrument as easy as possible.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice painstakingly slow with the use of a metronome. Focus on keeping your hands as light and tense-free as possible.
If you detect tension in any aspect of your technique; drop your hands down at your side -- totally limp-- until they feel heavy. Then, slowly and methodically raise your hands to the instrument and focus on how light your hands should feel now. Apply pressure very slowly to the strings plucking consistently. Once you get a good crisp sound stop applying pressure. This is the best way to learn that playing any string instrument does not require the use of force.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the level of the student.
Advanced and intermediate players will begin seeing the difference very, very quickly with practice. They will notice clearer and more articulate musical phrasing, lighter and easier technique, and a significant boost to their tone. They should quickly make progress in learning more advanced repertoire.
Beginners will start with learning about the instrument in its entirety. How to hold the instrument, music theory, how to play slowly and methodically. Once this is done, we will begin learning simple etudes and studies that not only hone their newfound skills, but will get some beautiful repertoire under their fingers that will last them for however long they stick with music.
