Being a self taught musician I know how patience is needed when you're learning to play any music instrument. I like teaching students at their own speed. I won't try to get ahead if I see the student is struggling to learn. I like making sure my students learn but most importantly remember what has been taught during the lessons. I don't like overwhelming you with lots of information specially if you're too new in the field. Read More

In music, students are likely invested in music in their personal lives and therefore, connections can be made to drive concepts home. When music educators understand and nurture the overall learning experience of their students, a well-rounded and holistic educational experience unfolds. Lastly, I believe that student engagement is crucial. If the students are not attentive and involved in the content that is being delivered, it is unlikely they will gain knowledge. Read More

No matter what age, or skill level, I always bear in mind, that no two individuals, are the same. Taking that into account, there is always an evaluation performed to gauge competency of the instrument and knowledge of music theory if you're not a beginner. If the student is a beginner, I always start with the basics, music theory, parts of the guitar, maintenance of the instrument. As someone who not only plays guitar, but also buys, sells, fixes, and builds guitars from scratch, I provide a full course of how to play, to how to build one from a kit or from scratch if desired.

I started teaching shortly after getting my Diploma from the National Guild of Piano. I started teaching part-time in college and eventually started teaching full time once I had finished. I teach all levels and all ages but I love teaching the little ones. I use a lot of games in my teaching to make piano learning fun. I use flash cards, timers, stickers, and prizes to reward my best students. Read More

What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

During my time at FIU I was a Teaching Assistant with the FIU Marching Band. There I assisted in the direction and teaching of the marching band students, and attended all performances. For the past 5 years or so I have been teaching private saxophone students as well. My experience with saxophone consists of classical pedagogy. Classical saxophone is a beautiful and forgotten art that I wish to share with my students. Read More
