Instruments: Clarinet
In my experience, every student is different with their personality and goals in music. My job as a teacher is to find and implement the best path for a student to achieve their goals and to realize the most of their creative potential. Music is about self-expression and communicating feelings and ideas to listeners. There are many ways to achieve this through different styles or genres. Regardless, there are basic concepts, which are common to all styles. Read More
Instruments: Flute
I started working as a music teacher when I was really young, during my second year in college. After all these years I've learnt how important is to connect with students to understand what motivates them, what their goals are, and what they need to achieve them. That's why I love teaching one-on-one private lessons, because I can give the students all my attention and adapt the teaching process according to their needs. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Proprietary method of one on one guitar instruction with lesson plans tailored for each individual student's current playing abilities, from beginner to advanced. Each cirriculum is centralized in style where the student may pursue any one or multiple styles on the instrument while advancing, from lush chord melody jazz to rock lead guitar. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
My teaching style allows room for students to explore their own individual interests while remaining within a framework of achievable and incremental goals. One of the amazing things about music instruction is it allows people (especially younger students) to learn the process of incremental goal setting and achievement for long term success. I like to work with my students to develop a set of goals and a game plan for how they can achieve what might seem far off to them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching lessons in high school, and have now been actively teaching privately for over 5 years. I mainly teach saxophone and clarinet, but I am also able to teach beginner piano and flute. I have had experience with students of all ages and levels, from beginner all the way to advanced. I always encourage my students to practice consistently, yet I understand if students are busy and have a lot going on. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder
I use what some have called the target approach. With this method you are working on one concept at a time, and you should always have one concept in mind while you practice. Some examples of beginning concepts are 1) keeping a steady beat, 2) sound quality, or 3) smooth finger technique. In one practice session using the target approach you may spend 10 minutes on target 1) and 15 minutes on target 2). What is important, however, is that you continue to work on a target every day until you find yourself performing that single concept flawlessly and effortlessly. Read More
Instruments: Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a musician, I have had the privilege of performing in some of the world's most esteemed venues and traveling to far-flung corners of the globe. However, the accomplishment that brings me the greatest sense of pride is the opportunity to now play alongside musicians whom I once deeply admired - a truly humbling experience. Even more than this, I find immense satisfaction in the joy that my music brings to my listeners. Witnessing the glimmer in their eyes and the happiness on their faces during a performance is a reward unlike any other.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor degree in Music Performance. I chose that because I was mainly interested becoming a performing musician. During my time at college I started to teach on the side and developed a passion for that as well.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First, I try to disconnect from any outer factors and letting go of distracting thoughts by taking a few deep breaths. Then I usually like to check in with my instrument. Therefore I use some specific strokes and exercises that I found to work well for me personally, followed by warming up exercises and techniques I currently work on and rudimental timing exercises. Sometimes I have to learn new tunes for rehearsals or performances so I give them a listen and work on any breaks or transitions that might be happening.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Percussion instruments are incredibly diverse, with a wide range of techniques and styles to master. The hardest thing to master on a percussion instrument can vary depending on the instrument and the individual's goals and strengths. However, some of the most challenging aspects of percussion performance include developing precise timing, control, and coordination, as well as mastering complex rhythms and techniques such as polyrhythms, improvisation, and sight-reading. Additionally, for percussionists who play multiple instruments, switching seamlessly between instruments and maintaining a consistent sound and feel can be challenging. Ultimately, the most challenging aspect of percussion performance is subjective and depends on the individual's unique strengths, weaknesses, and musical goals.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My first instrument was guitar, and I was quite passionate about it. Eventually I started playing in a bad where there was a hand percussionist, and it was the first time I ever had access to congas. The percussionist showed me some a basic groove, and I was sold! It was like love at first sight (touch?).
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There are a few things to consider when determining if your child is ready for music lessons. Look for signs of interest and curiosity in music, such as singing along to songs or expressing a desire to play an instrument. Consider their age and attention span, as well as their ability to follow instructions and practice regularly. It's also important to have realistic expectations and understand that progress takes time and patience. Ultimately, it's up to you and your child to decide if they are ready and willing to commit to music lessons.
