Music Lessons in University, CO

Instruments: Guitar

My methods to teach beginning guitar are basic music reading techniques as they relate to the instrument. Teaching the fundamentals of music gives the student the ability to work on technique development. Once the fundamentals of technique and theory line up then I will begin to introduce songs and solos based on the students ability and interests. The purpose of working on songs and solos that the student wants to learn is to keep the student interested and practicing every day. Read More

I was an Assistant Professor in the National Conservatory of Guatemala for 2 years. I was a teacher from some programs with the State of Guatemala in the country side and the capital city, and a member of the string quartet "Ad-libitum". I went to Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic as a teacher in new programs with each country. I gave private lessons for 3 years and I was a part of the academy "New Song" for 1 year.

Instruments: Accordion

I put a lot of emphasis on scales and fingering exercises. Once fingering exercises are mastered, it is relatively easy to play classical and quick time tunes. The wonderful thing about accordion is that the bass provides upward mobility in tonic keys that go up in fifths, e.g. C G D A B F# and all tonic notes/buttons have thirds on the counter bass, e.g. C has E, G has B etc. right next to the tonic buttons so that you have incredible variety within six or seven buttons combining major, minor, seventh and diminished seventh chords within that same group of notes.

Instruments: Drums

All of these experiences inspired me to start my own record label and publishing company, Vibrato Music Group Inc., giving me the freedom to be a session drummer, songwriter, and record producer. Working with talented musicians every day has been the highlight of my career. My goal as a teacher is to help students go from beginners to professionals, helping them to reach their fullest potential - not just in drumming but in life. Read More

I began teaching students in college, and have consistently taught students of all ages and experience levels.
