My focus is always on the individual student and their music interests and goals. I do begin with foundational skills, music theory that is applicable to the knowledge level of my students, and technique building. However, I want my students to start to play songs as soon as possible and we only work on songs that THEY choose - I do not force students to learn songs that I select or songs that a book tells them to.

Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More

I began teaching at Roy High in 2019. I spent 3 years there with the marching band and moved on to Ogden High in 2021. I completed my second fall season with Ogden and look forward to many more. I started as a piano player when I was four and I haven't stopped learning music since. I picked up flute in the 5th grade and learned alto sax my Junior year in high school. Read More

Who doesn't like to feel good about themselves? My experiences have shown me that students who achieve successes with their music feel that way. They are better people and they are better musicians. I have taught high school students who went from having no identity in the student body society to becoming proud of themselves, walking the halls with their heads held high and a smile on their faces. This, to me is the magic of music - and my focus as an Instructor. Read More

Hello! My name is David, I'm Brazilian and I've been playing guitar since I was 11 years old. I am a composer, guitarist, singer and I was a member of Cadillac Dinossauros, a Brazilian rock band for 16 years. During this period I developed an authentic way of playing as well as stage techniques. At the same time, I also taught guitar as an independent teacher for 6 years. Besides Rock, my biggest influences are Soul and Funk music, Jazz and of course, Brazilian music. Read More

Instruments: Voice

What technique do I use? Nowadays it is fashionable to use the name of a technique as if that was everything. I like to see singing from another point of view, based on the full awareness of the vocal tract. Learn to control the muscles involved in phonation (and relax those who do not!). Achieve a control that allows us to make the sound that we like, in a healthy and pleasant way. Read More

I, above all, want students to develop their own love and appreciation for music. I have high expectations in y studio, but I make it clear that students will progress at different speeds and that’s okay. Every week I give a set of warm-ups and exercises to focus on and expect students to practice so we can hone them when we’re together, but I’ll never ask a student to do something they’re not comfortable or familiar with - if ever there’s a question I’m there to answer or demonstrate.
