Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Conga Latin Percussion
My teaching style consists of compassion, patience and developing discipline for ones instrument little by little. Nothing is pushed, but my philosophy is "bit by bit." I want the student to be able to be challenged at the same time having fun and enjoying their instrument. I do have my own feel for each student which is completely different and varies to their ability, personality and behavior, but I am constantly tuned into my students to and what their needs and likes are.

I began teaching Guitar and Piano during college as a way to expand my playing and teaching skills. Over the years I gained extensive knowledge of teaching techniques and how to work with students at all levels, ages, backgrounds, and understanding of theoretical music application. I handle my students with care, respect, and motivate them through positive reinforcement of their milestones while learning. Moreover, I have taught guitar and piano to over 200 students in the last decade - many have pursued careers in music, and some have even surpassed my accomplishments. Read More

I assess what the student's current strengths, weaknesses, and needs are. Every student will have a different approach in the lessons as everyone has different taste in music and different learning styles. I cater to the student's interests to make the lessons easy and interesting while making sure that the student is aware of the reason that they are understanding how the topic they are currently learning blends and builds into their overall playing and musicianship.

Throughout the past 17 years I have been both a student and ambassador of music. Whether it has been explaining and showing chords or scales to another student, or describing the inner workings and wonder of a guitar solo with a friend - seeking to create and teach music will always be at the forefront of all that I do. To me, the first and most important thing for learning music is that you have to play something you enjoy and find fun. Read More

I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music, so it's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students 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

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Once you've mastered the basics of music theory and have developed essential performance skills with your primary instrument, it becomes easier to move on to another. Many times, some instruments choose us instead.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition and Sound Design from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs where I studied under the guidance of Glen Whitehead and Film Composer and Jazz Trumpet player, Sean Schafer Hennessy. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Sound Design for Visual Media at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
To me, music is a life journey. Like with many other art disciplines, we can't master any skill without practicing. We can only get as much as we put in. The more we practice, the better we get. I strongly believe practicing everyday for 5 - 10 minutes (especially as a beginner student) can go a long ways as opposed to practicing once or twice a week for 30 or 40 minutes. when we do it everyday, the content and exercises are fresh in our mind and are easy to internalize. When practicing a few times a week, it might take some effort to remember the concepts and exercises before warming up. Hope this helps!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Once you know your teen shows interest in music, it is a good idea to have an opening conversation to get a better sense of what he or she would like play and accomplish with music. Even if they are interested in learning how to play the guitar, having the chance or flexibility to try out different instruments can make the process of starting out and committing to an instrument much easier. In the case of guitar players, the earliest age I recommend starting out is 9 years old, preferably 12. At that age, a 3/4 size guitar would be more suitable to start out with. I recommend switching to a normal size guitar (acoustic/electric) at or after the age of 15.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it just felt right to play. It is a very complete and popular instrument. It can do harmonies, melodies and rhythm, and it's perfect for beginners looking to play a wide range of music styles.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone has a different learning style. My job as a guitar and music instructor is to guide students in discovering themselves through music. From my experience, music theory and playing the guitar can be challenging and don't come naturally to everyone. For this reason, it's important to remain calm, goal oriented, and remember to be kind to yourself during learning challenges. If we are being consistent with our practice, we are bound to see results. The more you put in, the more you get out!
