I am passionate about helping all students be inspired to learn at their full potential. I have experience teaching at the elementary, middle, high school, and college level. I am a dedicated trumpet pedagogue with a focus of developing a strong foundation of skills for my students. In lessons with me you will get a balance of technical training as well as exposure to great repertoire at your level. I also spend adequate time working with students to help them understand how their subtle anatomy is helping or getting in the way of their tone quality and breathing. Read More

For beginners, I prefer focusing on the fundamentals (scales, Hanon) in combination with beginner's lesson books such as Alfred's collections. As for adults, I tend to be goal oriented. What is the song you've always wanted to play? I then customize a syllabus based on that goal. Read More

For about 5 years I taught at a program called "Be Natural Music" where all of the students were children and teens. We put together kid rock bands and had them play shows a few times a year at local venues and festivals. I was the resident drum teacher for that program until my very recent move to New York. In my time there I helped the program expand into a new bigger store front and almost doubled their clientele. Read More

Instruments: Piano

Balance between discipline and creativity. We tend to lean towards certain musical elements at different  times of our musical developments. I try to be sensitive to the unique interests of each student, and at the same time use my experience to suggest material that would nourish their particular musical interests. There are a lot of aspects in learning to play the piano and explore music. Reading , memorizing ,hearing ,performing, composing and improvising.I try to include all of the above in the lessons but again I'm sensitive to the individual interests of each student. Read More

For beginning students, I start with Michael Aaron and Michael Aaron Music Theory books. The beginner students really enjoy these theory books! I also incorporate Fabers Music Adventures into the lessons. As the student progresses, I begin to introduce pieces appropriate for their levels and tastes. Each student learns and progresses individually and I take that into account when suggesting repertoire for them. One student may want a classical piece while another student may want a song by Bruno Mars. Read More

My teaching experience started in 2002 when I enrolled at the Conservatory of Music. Initially, I accepted private students in my home whose age ranged from 12 to 50 years years old. Then, after some time I decided to join the YMCA Music Department in Manila, Philippines. Since then, I have regularly taught students at home and at the YMCA studio. When I graduated, I started teaching music in the College of Music for students majoring in Voice and Choral Conducting. Read More
