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

My teaching style incorporates the use of learning by ear and memory in early stages, I also like to incorporate selections by the students as long as they are appropriate for their level. I approach each student differently and I may choose different methods of teaching...some like to read and play... Some prefer to hear and play, the idea is to do what is best to keep them engaged in their music journey. Read More

Music in the school system is taught backwards. If you're a beginner, you were put in a beginning class. this makes it very difficult for students to advance quickly because they aren't playing music with people who are more advanced than them. I make sure the students have the ability to play the instrument before they learn a ton of theory, because knowing how the wrritten form of music work without being able to play them is recipe for frustration.

Instruments: Clarinet

Music has always felt right whenever I perform. I decided in high school to be a music major after participating in many honor festivals. I have leaned a numerous amount of knowledge from my clarinet teachers in the past few years and know that there is always something else to learn. I have dedicate time to a local high school by working with their clarinets as well as coaching small ensembles. Read More

I started teaching 9 years ago. I really enjoy, and love seeing the progress with my students. Having fun is key. Learning to play an instrument or singing tends to quickly evolve as the students catches interest. Approaching the lessons from a natural and easy to understand method results into a second nature and a more excelling learning approach. Being able to learn a specific or different genres of music from Classical, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Contemporary Christian, Reggae, Latin etc is also a way to develop the student interest. Read More

Seeing my students develop a passion for music is very rewarding. Each student progresses to their own pace; no rush whatsoever. Setting goals that they can achieve will encourage them to progress on track. Acknowledging their accomplishments will keep their desire to continue learning more. I recommend that when they practice, to have them play it for an audience, like family or friends. That way they can be comfortable playing for others because when they are put into recitals, Student Day, the National Guild of Piano Teachers, etc. they'll be able to play at ease, and at the same time, enjoy it too.
