I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I have been performing music almost all of my life and teaching for about 8 years. Performing all over the South East has been one of the greatest experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to lead my high-school marching band through Disney World, as well as opening for the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft at the Microsoft Convergence Convention.

For beginners on guitar and piano, I start by introducing a basic understanding of music theory, so the students are comfortable with the fundamental mappings of notes and intervals. From there, I teach chords, scales, rhythms and song composition. I work with my students based on their individual musical preferences and desires -- whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs, how to write your own songs, or how to play lead lines and solos, I'm here to support and nurture your craft!

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer

During my undergraduate time I was apart of those vocal ensembles and worked closely with professors and students to write, arrange and perform full length vocal compositions. Soon after graduation, I was a full-time musician giving freelance voice lessons, and also teaching jazz voice while an artist in residency at Duke Ellington. During my time at Duke, I continued to perform and record around Washington, DC. This is where I began to be recognized for my talent, and was approached by an independent label who would soon thereafter move me to Atlanta, Ga to pursue my goal of being a full-time artist.

Some students even like simplified jazz. I start holiday music in October and enjoy knowing how much their parents enjoy hearing and singing it. Read More

Teaching adults is fun, because what you lose in neuroplasticity you gain in life experience and general knowledge, which makes it easier to make a connection. I've had students in their fifties and sixties and we did nothing but practice progressive rock or tango (remember I am from Argentina) because that's what they wanted to do, and I was able to find exercises that would help them achieve their goals, besides practicing the songs that they've always wanted to play!
