Instruments: Trumpet

My teaching style is very modern. I like to add the use of electronics to aid in the devlopment of players such as recordings, tuners, video, and other musical gadgets. I find that with music technology growth is exponential. I highly encourage my students, and there is no better feeling than to see one's eyes light and get excited about playing trumpet.I could literally talk for hours about playing my trumpet. Read More

Margaret Pardee was one of my notable teachers when I studied at Juilliard as a Fulbright scholar. Miss Pardee was Ivan Galamian's assistant trough his teaching career. I hold a Doctoral Diploma from a National Conservatory in Italy where I learned the legendary tradition of the ITALIAN violin school: from Vivaldi to Viotti, from Viotti to Rolla, from Rolla to Paganini, from Paganini to Sivori, from Sivori to Serato and from Serato to Gulli.

Instruments: Piano

If you are not interested in that part of music, I will just sneak it in as necessary. Having had so much experience with so many apposing methods, I myself have learned that there are as many different types of learners as there are types of people, so it is best to let the student show you what works for them. I never have to push any students to practice because my method surrounds the students goals and abilities that they actually want to achieve. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I remember being in grade school. I only wanted to learn things that interested me. One of those things was drumming. Since I was genuinely passionate about it, I had no problem working through hours of tedious practice to learn the skills I have today. I can still lose track of time while practicing. This is what is required to reach higher levels of any endeavor. My goal is to show my students why they need to practice what I'm teaching. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar

For a first timer i typically would relate with the student so as to connect with the basis for their interest in learning the musical instrument. Different students have different levels of perception or assimilation. This i establish before i even start the introductory class proper. Then i go through the fundamentals with the student, and observe their progress along the way. My instruction is flexible even though its structured in a way that prompts the student for further and regular improvements. Read More
