I typically start by first assessing whether or not the student has any prior experience in musical training, whether that be in a private instrument, music theory, or just some experience gained from taking music classes at school. From there I develop a curriculum tailored to both the student's current level of musical knowledge as well as what interests them. When teaching and assigning homework and repertoire, I like to offer a balance between what the student wants to learn and the essential exercises that will expand the student's musical knowledge, abilities and muscle memory.

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, I've always tried to show that anyone can express themselves on a guitar and play a little music once in a while if it makes them happy.Throughout my career as a teacher I have always dedicated myself to sharing knowledge that leads you to achieve your own style and identify with your instrument.

Same year I started attending to Lyrical Singing Lessons with another very known composer and opera singer, Mario Rocha. I performed with both clinics in the capital city and many other cities around the country for years but I kept it persistent with Lyrical Singing.

Lyrical Singing helped me introduce myself in the opera world and had me performed on Opera Festivals every year as part of the choir and also with solo roles at the National Theater. Read More
