Instruments:
While growing up in Spain, my Grandmother had a Piano Studio where she would prepare students to enter the Conservatory System. After noticing that I could play T.V. commercials by ear on the Piano, I was enrolled in music theory and piano at the age of 6. A year later, I entered the Conservatory. I now hold a Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano and Child Pedagogy.I have studied in the U.S. and Europe (where I won a piano scholarship) and performed in San Francisco, Oakland, New York City, and Madrid. I have won competitions, performed in chamber music ensembles and worked extensively as a an Accompanist. Lastly, I have a classical background, but can be inspired by all Music (especially Jazz) and equally encourage students to find educational value in a variety of music.
Instruments:
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.
Instruments:
For beginners in Piano I recommend using Faber Piano Adventures. However if the students have been using other books, those are welcome. As the students are progressing, I will introduce them to solo repertoire in order to play in a recital. For Violin/Viola I start using the Suzuki series but I also include a modern repertoire and techniques. Sometimes I arrange a piece the student likes so they can start play the pieces they are familiar with.
Instruments:
I am an enthusiastic music teacher focusing on oboe and English horn. I studied at and graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy. I was accepted with scholarships to the University of Arizona and attended as an oboe performance major. I have had master classes with many significant figures in the oboe world including but not limited to: Elaine Douvas - principle oboist with the NY Metropolitan Opera, Carolyn Hove - English hornist with the LA Philharmonic. In my personal studies I received intense training in proper embouchure, Alexander technique, circular breathing, vibrato techniques, and reed making.
Instruments:
My teaching experience goes back to college, i taught private lessons as well as large ensembles and small ensembles at local high schools. I have traveled with a non for profit around the world working in poorer communities giving children a chance to experience playing and learning about music. My students have received top honors in middle school, and high school as well as some of them receiving scholarships from Universities. I encourage practicing on a daily basis as well as listening to the instrument you study on a regular basis. I want my students to enjoy themselves but also I have high expectations to make them better. My students are encouraged to play to perform in public in concerts as well as in competitions and community ensembles. I will work with all levels to make you better.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
