Instruments:
Gaia Elementary School, Mexico City, Music Teacher Carson Elementary School, Carson, California. After School Music Teacher Escuela de Musica Cristiana Hollywood, California. Guitar Teacher
Instruments:
I am a passionate and encouraging music instructor specializing in guitar, music theory, and songwriting. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2013 with a Bachelor of Music in Songwriting & Guitar Performance. I have gigged extensively in the Boston area and Midwest as a singer/songwriter, performed on various studio sessions, co-written songs in several genres, and played guitar for other musicians. My music has been featured on college radios and online blogs, and I have been fortunate enough to play the Berklee Performance Center, Faneuil Hall, and Harvard Square. I moved to Chicago in 2014 to pursue my love of teaching and performing.
Instruments:
I want my students to come away not only with an understanding of how to play, but knowledge of what they're hearing, why they're hearing it, and most importantly, why they enjoy playing it. Especially for children just starting out, it's important for them to get a taste of all genres, so I know what they're most receptive to--and thus most likely to practice!
Instruments:
My biggest strength as a teacher is my absolute patience. Everyone struggles with something different when learning music, and being able to keep my calm, and find infinate different ways of explaining the different principals of music has made me a favorite of my students. I also believe in providing reasonably challenging pieces, and then providing the support that the students need to succeed with these challenges and become better players. I do a lot of arrangements for my students so I always take their personal tastes into the song selection.
Instruments:
Every musician has some strength which can be developed and built upon. In some students it can be recognized as talent. In others it is enthusiasm and dedication to study and improve. It can also be curiosity and the joy in discovering new ways to express oneself. I love finding my students where they are and helping them toward mastery of their craft. A good music teacher listens. And listens. And listens. From the first lesson I am very interested to hear where the student is in their own practice. (Not even complete beginners are the same; everybody has a unique perspective and personality that informs how they "speak" in music.) The next task is to hear where the student wants to go. How much, how fast, and how far are they are willing and able to work toward their personal goal? These questions are the starting point of every relationship. It is also the starting point of every session. In lessons, I listen to the student progress through warm ups, exercises, and repertoire. Each of these three elements - warm ups, exercises, and repertoire - can be used for instruction and encouragement.
