Music Lessons in Baton Rouge , LA

Instruments: Piano Guitar

As a kid, I really disliked my piano lessons. as a teacher I want to put an emphasis on having fun in my lessons, because music, as i've come to realize, is one of the most fun activities to partake in. that being said, it is essential to know the fundamentals and techniques, so I will most likely use method books such as Alfred's or Hal Leonard's, especially for people starting fresh. But in conjunction with the books, I want to give the student opportunities to play what they want. I have a music notation software, which i've used to create simple arrangements of pop songs from artists such as Taylor Swift or Bruno Mars, or anything else I or the student think would be fun to play. I simply want to give the student opportunities to apply what they've learned to something fun early on.

I'm a guitarist and teacher, committed to providing quality music education for college-level students and all experience levels. Well versed in classical, jazz, and popular guitar styles, I'm also comfortable teaching music theory. I design personalized lessons designed to meet the student’s interests and goals while also focusing on broadening their musical horizons and enhancing their technical abilities. I strive to keep a highly motivated teaching environment, focused on getting results through positive reinforcement and constant reassessments of the student’s progress towards their goals. I pride myself on my extensive teaching and performing experience, and enjoy building lasting relationships with students while being an active member in the local music community. In addition to teaching, I perform around 250 gigs a year in local and regional music festivals and at local restaurants/hotels/bars as a leader and a sideman.

I have a firm belief as a teacher that you can really enrich someones life through learning and challenge.  As long as I can remember I have been surrounded by music.  I have been playing drums for over 20 years since the age of nine, and have been playing guitar, keyboards, bass as well as singing for 10 years.  I took my passion for music further by enrolling at Roosevelt University, Chicago College of Performing Arts and studied drum set under the direction of grammy award winning drummer Paul Wertico.  To complement my studies on drums, I studied jazz theory with reknown bassist and educator Scott Mason and jazz arranging with former Buddy Rich trombonist, Tom Garling.  After graduating in May 2011, I have had the oppoutunity to play in major Chicago venues like The Metro, Lincoln Hall, Congress Theater, Reggies, Rosa's and many others. Also, I have been fortuante to have played at locations all over the U.S. and shared the stage with musicians like Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring (formerly of The Allman Brothers).

Music has been my life passion, since I was 10 years old. At 15 I enter the Juan N Copras Consevatory to persue classical guitar performance. In 2010 I was invited to perform in Barichara Music Festival wich has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my carrer so far, because I was exposed to great performers and I enjoyed playing for big audiences. I was then invited to perform and study in Annapolis for 3 months by the founder of the Baricahra Music Festical, Jairo Delgado. In 2012 I moved to New Orlenas to learn and play jazz music, and be a part of the rich musical atmosphere and heritage the city has to offer. I enrolled in the University of New Orleans and graduated with a jazz masters in the fall of 2015. I currently play in the city and have had the chance to perform in Yuki, La 49 and the UNO Sandbar.
