Instruments: Saxophone Flute
As mentioned above, I tailor each of my lesson to the individual student I am teaching. I am very encouraging and patient, but also like to push my students to be the best they are capable of being. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Organ Music
I have been playing the piano for twelve years. I graduated from Stetson University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance and from the University of Texas in El Paso (UTEP) with a Masters of Music in Piano Performance in 2022. I have performed in Italy, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas, on a solo level and collaboration. I have collaborated with many wind symphonies such as the Stetson University Symphonic Band, Stetson Concert Band, UTEP Wind Symphony, UTEP Symphonic Band, and the El Paso Winds Symphony. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Keyboard
As students progress, I like to spend more time teaching music theory and how the harmonies and melodies of pieces actually work together. At this stage the music becomes more difficult and lengthy, so I like to group phrases of the piece in sections until they can be played together cohesively. I like to coincide these with more mature elements of expression that go hand in hand with technique development. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My style involves around having a "recital" piece that we work on at all times, as well as technical exercises and different games to increase music theory, rhythm, sight reading, ear training, etc. We set goals and work to accomplish them in a timely manner. I always take time to make sure you as the student are comprehending what I'm explaining to you. Some technical instruction is done with arpeggios, scales, chords, etc., but in general, I try to keep the lesson as interesting as possible so that we can have fun while learning! Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
I've tutored a few freshman when I was a senior in high school, and I can say that I have a good understanding of what a trumpet player (or a wind instrument in general), should be practicing just based on my experience and the teacher's I've had. My goal is to emulate the teaching's I've been taught to another person. I've always been someone who likes teaching, and I've been told that I explain things well. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For students that are just starting, I love using Bastien Piano Basic books and Alfred's Basic Piano library! These both have great selections and have all different levels to meet the student's needs. After the student moves out of these basic piano books, we can start working on learning songs and developing some solo pieces for their repertoire. For adults that are learning piano, I leave a lot up to the student because most of the time they already have something in mind that they would like to learn or work their way up to learning a particular piece.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Growing up, I always had a fascination with space! I didn't have the grades nor the determination to pursue it, but I also had a love for music I couldn't suppress.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother played piano as a child, but a lot of my initial inspiration came from my brother who played Tuba. He now plays guitar and sings in a group part-time in Long Beach, California.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The moment I knew I wanted to perform was a concert at Appalachian State. This concert was goofy, funny, a little bit weird, but so much fun. It reinvigorated my love for music and really showed me how diverse music can really be.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
By far, the Pop/70's/80's music has been the most enjoyable. Performing with many tribute bands, playing the music of my idols, and the overall experience of the groups I've played with has been the best for me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I really only play trumpet, but I've dabbled in many other brass instruments as well as piano. Most were from neccisity having to learn it for school, but I just wanted to understand how other instruments worked.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece currently is La Virgen de la Macarena. It's showy, it's big, and it's perfect for me! Unfortunately I've never had a scenario in which I could perform it, but I hope to play it soon!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I wanted to perform, which I still do and enjoy doing, but I learned I enjoyed teaching and investing time into students. I wanted a higher-education degree so I could teach at a university eventually, but I'm currently trying to improve my performance career so I can have the experiences to teach from.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Bill Adam teaching method for most students who already have a grasp on the instrument. Using analogies and imagination to create music rather than just recording notes.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We have what we call a "Routine". It varies per student, but it's essentially fundamentals to get your day started. It covers everything you'll need, no matter the circumstances. I think tend to play to online recordings, listen to other professional musicians, and take time to listen to new artists when I can.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency, both in practice and performance. Developing a consistent practice routine is difficult until you get used to. There are also a lot of aspects to control while playing, and being able to do all that takes time.
