Instruments:
After teaching for 19 years there is no single method that fits everyone. We are unique individuals and therefore our learning process is different from others. After the first session, I will assign a method and we will do other practices and techniques that simply you can not find in one book but are necessary for your learning process.
Instruments:
I am a passionate music educator with five years of public school teaching experience and ten years of private studio teaching experience. I have been in Albuquerque for seven years and have performed as a soloist and in ensembles throughout my time in New Mexico.
Instruments:
Depending on the instrument that the student studies and how old they are is how approach teaching them. For example, my voice students always start out learning the same techniques and warm-ups, but where we go from there is based on the age of the voice and how a person wants to learn. With Guitar and Piano I may use a book as a supplement to my teaching, but not as the focal point of my teaching because every learns differently and are in a different place in their journey.
Instruments:
I believe teaching music doesn’t just teach music—it teaches us life skills that are applicable to any field and any situation. My teaching philosophy is a mix of many ideas, and I believe it is more successful the more places I "steal" ideas from. As a music teacher at the 21st Century Public Academy, and the 2nd, being my job in the Army as a member of the 44th Army Band. I also teach private lessons at a local studio, and I can be found in Old Town on Wednesday and sometimes Saturday nights jamming with the Jazz musicians of this wonderful city. I have taught choir and band from the 5th grade level all the way up through high school including subjects like music theory, jazz band, treble choir, marching band, and percussion ensemble. I have also taught general music from kindergarten up through 5th grade, and assisted bands at the university level. My performance experience has taken me to many wonderful places--College bowl games and the NCAA Tournaments to international hotspots such as Bogota, Columbia and even as far away as China. I have also been fortunate enough to perform with musical icons such as Doc Severinson, Mariachi Cobre, Byron Stripling, John Fedchock, Bobby Shew, Five by Design, Club Swing, the Harry James Orchestra, Andre Williams, and notable groups such as the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra, Phil Campo and the "Loose Change" Jazz band, the Salt Lake Alternative Jazz Orchestra, and many others. I am partners in crime with a wonderful woman and we have an adorable little girl who will be 3 years old soon. I just returned from basic training with the Army and I am in the 44th Army Band with the National Guard
Instruments:
While in Brazil, I accumulated a huge experience as a string teacher, by spending 18 years teaching in individual and group lessons (music schools and own studio) and working with social projects as well. In Albuquerque, I taught cello group lessons at Montezuma Elementary School (2016) and teach at the UNM Lab School. I also use traditional methods in relation to orchestra playing and include the student repertoire as primordial in the learning process. Another strong point is my strategies to teach skills. I am able to solve a lot of technical problems by using differents pedagogical strategies and know how to motivate my students by promoting recitals and concerts in special places.
