Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
With more advanced students, furthering a students development and introducing more challenging concepts is what I focus on teaching. With drumming, I like to incorporate concepts such as polyrhythms, an understanding of different genres, improvisation, and ear training. For students that are preparing to pursue a degree in music, I can help them prepare for an audition because of my experience of being a college music student in the past. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
As I'm struggling to describe my teaching style, I'm realizing that it is very adaptable as I am teaching such a variety of learners. I have found so much joy in music and am motivated to see my students succeed and move past the repetitive beginner stage to actual music making and a tool they can use in their lives. For this reason, I will select music that inspires and encourages my students and will give honest feedback to help them grow as musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have taught dozens students from over 20 countries about songwriting, guitar playing, singing, lyric writing, piano, ukulele and more. Since 2011 I have played in over 1000 stages, starting in my hometown of Corrientes, Argentina, at first playing on the streets for tips and later moving onto bars, later theaters, and now touring full time. Teaching has always been something I have gravitated towards, specially after several requests from my listeners. I have ample examples of frustrated or disillusioned kids and adults that left my classes with their heads held high, because they finally felt they were moving another more step towards their musical goals.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I teach piano voice and guitar. I have a bachelors in music therapy from Loyola university. I have 3 years experience teaching private lessons. I also taught general music at ridgewood prep for a year. I currently am activities coordinator at Lambeth House and teach music lessons on the side. My main instrument at Loyola was voice. I also had to take guitar and piano classes as well. I was in seven operas at Loyola. Read More

My teaching style is student-driven. I want to know what you are setting out to accomplish with your instrument of choice so I can help you to achieve your goals. There are many techniques I know that will help you to master basic skills on your instrument as well as the more individualized skills you will need to excel in your particular style of music. I can't wait to hear about what excites YOU most about music so I can help you to become the kind of musician you want to be. I do expect students to practice between lessons. Read More

I believe in teaching people to be true musicians and tap into their own creative spirits, not just to be technicians at the mercy of what's written for them. With that said, I take a balanced approached between learning traditional fundamentals and some of my own more philosophical approach, drawing on metaphors and analagous experiences to help frame this learning experience in ways the student can relate and understand. I call this The Art of Practice, which you'll be able to apply elsewhere in your life as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
I am a skilled and passionate instructor, composer, pianist, and organist as well as a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans. Initially self-taught on the piano, I had my first experience with lessons on the organ thanks to the charity of Dr. Marcus St. Julien, and I want to pass that spirit of mentoring on to every student I meet. I am experienced in and passionate about all kinds of classical music, ranging from Bach to Beethoven to Ravel, Prokofiev, and Schoenberg, and I also have a background in jazz and pop music.

When will I start to see results?
The more consistently you practice, the quicker the results will be. But the key is to have patience! It will take time. Anything good takes time and is worth waiting for. The beauty of music is that there is always more to learn and even when you get to the skill level of a professional musician or a college graduate of music school, you will still want more results. So enjoy the process! But as I said before, 5 minutes of focused practice a day will go miles farther than an hour or two here and another hour later in the week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child can talk or walk, they can play an instrument! It is never to early to start learning. Some of the best musicians in the world started playing music around the time they started talking. If anything, just put an instrument in their hands and let them get used to the feel of it, or let them enjoy making the sounds of it. In one of my favorite books on music education, Effortless Mastery, Kenny Werner often talks of letting go of the need to sound good and going back to the state of mind of a child first playing an instrument. I think that could be the most valuable time in learning music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, enjoy it. It should not be a chore. If it is, find a way to make it fun (ex. practice to fun backing tracks instead of a click metronome).
Second, 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than 2 hours of unfocused frustrated practice. Set a 5 minute goal each day, and when the timer goes off, if you're still enjoying it, keep practicing. If not, put it away until tomorrow!
Third, don't move on until you have the material you are working on truly mastered. Trust me, you will enjoy playing it much more once you have mastered it!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Right now I try to put in at least 20-30 minutes a day doing warmups on the upright bass, and often that's all I do! My warmups generally include playing slow scales bowed with a tuner or a drone and some metronome practice (walking a fast bass line with the metronome only on beat 4, or a really slow bass line and trying to keep the time on my own). I also spend a lot of time gigging and going to jam sessions, which I consider practice as well. If I have extra solo practice time, I generally spend it learning new tunes (there are ALWAYS more to learn!) or transcribing bass lines or solos.
