Instruments: Piano
I teach scale positions and chords, improvising, and use various methods of piano repertoire, the students learning style dictates the structure of instruction. My students learn to play folk tunes "by ear" and transpose them to each of the 12 keys, including the minor keys. In addition, my students compose their music in order to learn to read music. We learn "fun music" as well as pop, and classical. I started "Night at The Movies" at a university where i teach, the students composed their own song, and made a video that expresses the message to go with it. Read More

I love to teach my students the basic tools of what it takes to be a professional musician, whether or not they are into music as a hobby or as a serious profession. I currently play drums for the hit Broadway musical (non-union version) of Rock of Ages and when I'm not on the road; I'm teaching. I’m an avid columnist for Modern Drummer Magazine and I sing/play guitar for one of Chicago's best Nirvana tributes called Smells Like Nirvana. Read More

As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, I have put myself in a position that brings me across an extremely wide and dense variety of music that I've been only too happy to explore. In addition to my long-running classical training with piano, clarinet and composition, I've explored jazz, world, rock, fusion, electronic and avant-garde music through the acquisition of my composition degree and through extensive research and self-teaching with saxophone and guitar.

With beginning and intermediate students, I work a lot with Faber and Faber's Piano Adventures and with the Alfred method. However, I am open to other methods if the student has a preference. With advanced students I strive towards a variety of repertoire. If they are classical players, I will make sure to eventually cover something Baroque, Classical (Mozart, Haydn, etc.), Romantic, and something modern, as well as all the gaps in between. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I conduct my lessons based on students background, learning experience and their interests or goals. I like to use combined learning materials including classical music, popular music and chamber music. Also, anything students find interesting is welcomed in my lessons. Besides regular lessons, I encourage students to participate any kind of musical activities such as school talent shows, recitals. I hope my students would have solid music ability to explore any kind of music and love having music in their life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I set realistic goals for each lesson so that each student will be able to progress and show improvement on a quicker level and not get frustrated with too much work. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Lute Music
My teaching tools are slightly different than most people. Sure, I use Textbooks and pencils but along with these materials, I use a special way trying to understand what is in my students mind and how to make the lesson interesting and easy for them to understand. I want my students to learn basic skills. That is, I want them to learn the basic skills necessary to transform their world. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have so many dream pieces to perform, but one of my dream piece to perform is Beethoven moon light. It is such a unique song that no one has ever thought of but Beethoven, and it inspires many piano players that would want to play it. It is one of my favorite pieces since it requires a lot of concentration when playing it also requires a lot pattern thinking when playing. A lot of his sons are all based on that and such more that goes beyond our imagination. Just listening to what he plays and feeling the feeling that he had that he played, is one of a kind.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a musician I would be teaching chess. Teaching chess is like teaching music but in a different way. Chess is all about strategy thinking and coming up with your own position throughout the game. The same thing applies with music. Is about decision skills and knowing what you want to play knowing how you want to do it. Chess involves so many things like visualization, calculation, tactics, strategy openings, and end games. I woud teach chess and it is something that i also love doing.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite music style is rock, since rock is the first genre i first started listening to. I would learn the pentatonic scales and so much more. I would get a better understanding throughout music with rock. I would look up utube tutorials about so many rock artists. For example slash, and get inspired but him. I would use a lot of his soloing patterns and apply it to my own style of playing. I learned so much from him that I can't stop learning from him. I really love his solos and his own style of playing His unique.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decide playing the second by learning the basics of one particular instrument. Knowing what I've learned of the rest of the instruments and applying some knowledge from what I have learned and start to go along with it. Playing more than one instrument has expanded my own knowledge of music and has had gave me a new perspective in life. I know that if I learn a new instrument that I never knew how to play that I can learn quick. knowing that I already know a lot of instruments from behind It just takes a lot of time and practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does run in my family. I Have 3 older bothers and 2 younger sisters. One my my two older brothers his name is Rolando. He can perform really well the keyboard and with ability tempo, and beat. He has a natural talent that no one in the family knew until later on in life. My other brother
's name is Brian, he can play the guitar, drums and a little bit pf keyboard, He has a talent in drums and can perform the drums at his max of his ability. My sister Genesis has the ability to song phenomenal. All majority of my family has the ability the play a specific type of instrument.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician at the age of 20. For me it was a defining moment. A moment when i did not know I had the talent for playing and teaching, I discovered it when i was 15 and ever since then i never stopped teaching and playing. I started teaching everyone in my family and in school. Everyone would compliment for my ability of playing but would never really pay attention since I knew that I I wanted to improve more. I always had the passion, and desire to muisc at any age and make it work for them.
