For beginning students, whether instrumentalists or vocalists, I focus first on establishing strong fundamentals. I often use structured, proven method books such as Hal Leonards Essential Elements, along with age appropriate warmups, technique builders, and simple ensemble pieces to build confidence and foundational skills. As students progress, I introduce solo and ensemble repertoire that matches their level and prepares them for their first performance opportunities. For intermediate and advanced students, I customize lessons based on their goals, instrument, and musical interests. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Cello, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For beginning students who have never touched music in their lives (mostly children), I start out with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book of their chosen instrument. From there, we learn how to read music, play in time, and play the instrument itself. Once the student feels comfortable with the practices in the book, I move on to introduce solo repertoire to prepare for a recital. Of course, if they are in their school band, we will focus on perfecting their given band music. Read More

I have taught private one on one lessons to children ranging from first grade, to seniors in their 70's and 80's.

I have also taught general music in groups of 15-20 students from Kindergarten to 8th grade for three years, as well as another three years at the American School of El Salvador as band and combo professor.
