Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
One of my main jobs after graduating The Institute of Production and Recording was teaching music lessons. Since 2011 I've taught drums and piano lessons for various companies from ages 3-40. To see a student who has a serious passion for music grow from not knowing anything about the piano or drums to making music is probably one of the most fulfilling feelings I could have. I believe making a connection with the student fuels the connection to the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I was a music education major, so I was trained to teach. Over the years I have taught piano and voice lessons privately and with contractors for over 9 years. I encourage students to practice consistently, and to also enjoy learning. I teach various styles and most of my experience is with beginners to intermediate students. I teach students starting at the age of five to adults. I have vocal techniques that help singers to reach higher notes and sing with comfort. Read More

Upon my college credits and experience, I decided to apply as a music teacher in both the parochial and public school systems in the U.S. Virgin Islands. My years of service extend to over 15 years of encouraging young students to appreciate the art of music. This confers my teaching position within the public school system as piano lab facilitator, junior choir director, chairman of the music department, and member of the school improvement team.

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves to teach the world of music involving the flute. I started playing since I was 12 years old and grew a love and passion for it. I did make the New World School of the Arts school but chose to stay at my local high school. I used the experience of music to help me get through tough times and as music is also therapeutic.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
For beginning students I teach out of the Rubank Elementary Method books. These books are most comprehensive for beginning students. As the student progresses I begin introducing them to solo repertoire, scales studies, and jazz improvisation. My approach is much different with adult students. I ask them what are their musical goals and from there I can create a curriculum based on adult students needs and wants. My teaching method works for all students, no matter the age or musical level. Read More
Instruments: Drums
A typical lesson would include a warmup and a short converstation to make sure that the student and I are on the same page. I want the student to have fun and enjoy the lesson but I also want to push the student to reach their goals. Goal setting is a very important process of any lesson. Benchmarks allow us to see where we're going and celebrate when we get there. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child, I was a big fan of Paul McCartney and how he used the bass as a songwriter. As I got older, I discovered Flea and became amazed by the possibilities of what could be played on the bass.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is the discipline to practice everyday. It is not easy to practice when you don't want to. In those moments, it is important to have an end goal in the big picture. That way you can remember why you need to practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have some family members who are into music. My cousin is a wonderful pianist who studied Jazz at Loyola University New Orleans, and my uncle is a Classical guitar enthusiast.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I remember wanting to become a musician the moment I saw Paul McCartney live. I was 8 years and I thought to myself "I want to do that".
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second instrument was classical guitar. I had a student come to me and said they wanted to learn classical guitar. When I started playing, I quickly realized that my fingerstyle techniques from bass translated really well.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to play is Jazz. I feel like it gives me freedom to express myself musically while challenging me to focus on not just what I am playing, but what the entire band is playing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Skateboarding and baseball!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chromatic Fantasy by Bach on bass. Jaco Pastorius performed this piece on a fretless bass. To me, this song represents the ultimate ability of dexterity on the bass guitar.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an Associate's Degree is Music & Technology with a focus in bass guitar. I chose this because I always loved to play bass and I wanted to learn every aspect of music theory around it.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Time management. I recommend writing out a practice schedule. This will help make sure the student hits everything evenly and helps prevent over-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They are ready when they express a strong interest in music. It is time when all the child wants to do is listen to and play music. It is not necessarily the age that determines if a child is ready, but it is their drive and focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I choose the Hal Leonard books. From my experience, it has some of the best reading exercises for kids. Overall, their books are accessible and easy for beginners to follow.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend 10 minutes warming up and stretching my hands. If I have something pressing (like a setlist for an upcoming show), I will spend 40 minutes learning the songs; followed by a 20 minute break. I will repeat this process until I'm day for the day.
If there is nothing pressing, I will do 20 minutes of timing, 20 minutes of scales, 20 minute break, 20 minutes of speed, and then repeat until I'm done for the day.
All in all: 40 minutes of practice, 20 minute break, and repeat!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school, I had a music teacher named Ms. Snyder. She showcased a wide variety of instruments in her class and was able to incorporate music games around all of them.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how much time your are willing to put into practicing and what your end goal is. That being said, as long as you strongly commit to practicing, you can generally start to see in results in about a month.
