I am a new and passionate instructor who would like to share my musical knowledge with prospective students! I've been performing since I was 6 years old and have been playing the guitar for 4 years. In that time I have acquired a lot of skills and learned things that I wish I had been taught at the beginning. I am studying to be a music producer and composer at Full Sail University and will be graduating this summer. Read More

It is important to find out initially how much students know in relation to what they need to know as a measurable objective and establish a set of criteria for success in order to determine if the objective has been achieved. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel students desire to progress and encourages them to learn more. My style is to be patient, encouraging and prepare a new approach for existing and consistent challenges. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass

My teaching experience started in my undergrad career when I started taking students on part time. I supplement my live performances income with teaching because I love to teach and see my students' love of the bass increase with each lesson. I like to tell my students to practice everyday even if it is only for 10 minutes, because it gets them into a routine. I work with students to learn the material they want to learn and provide supplemental material when asked to do so. Read More

I am very fortunate to have worked with great teachers, who not only inspired me to play the guitar at a very high level but also to desire to pass on that knowledge to my students. I am very passionate about working with all my students. I strive to make every student comfortable, but gently nudge them to become the best musician they possibly can. I encourage students to get ready and perform on stage and in front of an audience as soon as possible. Read More

I also worked as a summer school teacher and English Language Teacher in Spain with K-5. As a student myself of language and accents for the theater, I have an excellent ear and provide diction coaching far beyond the typical set of languages. As a former ESL teacher and tutor in Spain, I also help ESL singers with English. I read and teach IPA (international phonetic alphabet). A student of yoga and dance (ballet, musical theatre, latin) since 2004, my teaching of posture, breathwork, and movement is uniquely informed by these kinesthetic arts. Read More

Instruments: Piano

As a piano teacher, I use unique teaching methods that are customized to each student's needs and wants. For children, I like to start with fun and engaging songs before finding out what their favorite song is. This helps keep them motivated and interested in learning. When it comes to adult beginners, I also start with some adult beginner pieces and ask them what kind of music they enjoy listening to. Read More

Every student is different so my teaching style changes depending their personality and interests. Some students respond well to tough challenges and criticism, while others buckle under pressure. For each student I will find a balance between their musical interests and information that I think they need to know in order to become a better percussionist. In lessons, I maintain complete honesty with my students about their progress, but in a reassuring way to watch them grow as performers. Read More
