Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that it is truly important for any of my students to enjoy and love the music that they're practicing and learning. Therefore, it is important that I develop a specific teaching plan for each student. I encourage setting goals for each student to track progress and celebrate every accomplishment, making students eager to learn more. I encourage live performance, through either school talent shows, auditions, etc, because it is important for any vocalist to practice performing in front of an audience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
I love helping my students develop their music talents and skills! At each weekly lesson, students learn new concepts, materials, and songs. Goals are set with the student at these lessons. I make sure each student is excited about and engaged by finding songs that they want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a piano instructor with a love teaching music and inspiring creativity. I teach songwriting and encourage my students to become musicians and creators of music. I am a singer-songwriter, music producer in an EDM duo. I incorporate songwriting and music theory in my teaching methods. Over the years, I have taken many private music classes through community colleges and online courses and have had internships at music studios. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for over 5 years. I began as a private lesson coach and have been consistenatly growing with students for around 7 years. As well as song and technical technique, my students and I also focus in on composition, songwriting, improvosition, discovery of sound and direction, and artistry. I combine both clossical and modern technique's and combine them into a personalized lesson and practice plan for the student. I believe in steady but fun practice out side of classes and encourage my students to run through pieces or excersizes around 5 times a day or for around 15 minutes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Ukulele
My teaching style is goal-oriented and centers on positive reinforcement. This should be fun, not a chore. I love creating weekly/monthly/yearly goals so the student has something tangible to work towards. That might be a showcase for parents, a more formal recital, or an audition for a group! Each student brings a unique perspective to the lesson room, which is what makes it so exciting for me. No two students are the same, which mean I can learn something from the student as well.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
This is important for students of all ages and skill levels and is something students can forever practice and improve upon. I also focus part of the lesson on learning various scales, arpeggios, and other theory based materials. Lastly, I like for students to work on real songs that can be used for performance during every lesson. Thus, the 3 areas I focus on are breathing and overall sound, theory and technique, and perfomance repetoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I like to use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements books. Intermediate students will practice their technique with Clarke's technical studies and some of Arban's beginning lessons. For the more advanced players, I will give them the more challenging lessons of Arban's and the beginning lessons of Claude Gordon's book if they have not played it before. Essential Elements 2000 is a book that provides a step by step guide for the beginner students, it also comes along with a CD with all the songs that are in the book. The Clarke and Arban's books are two of the most popular and respected books that trumpet players from all levels use. These are two books that even professional and successful players still use everyday.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The control of the sound throughout the entire register of the instrument is the most difficult thing to achieve. Even the most successful and experienced trumpeters can still struggle with this and still practice every day to improve. When bad habits and techniques are acquired on the trumpet, they can be very difficult to change and at the same time it greatly effects the endurance. For this reason, I spend a lot of time getting my students to play as relaxed as possible, even if it means that they cannot get a sound right away, creating a relaxed feeling will help them overcome the challenges that will be presented when they begin to take on more difficult music.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Throughout my musical career, I have been lucky enough to play with many different professional classical and jazz orchestras outside and in the United States. I am also proud of being a part of different jazz festivals in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Knoxville, and Cuba. Personally, Christmas concerts are my favorite venues because the audience knows all the music and everyone is happy and excited to celebrate the holidays with our music. While working at a music school in my home country Venezuela, I had the opportunity to inspire and teach a large number of students who did not have previous musical experiences.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I was watching a cartoon on the television. At the end of the episode, the three little pigs began to play jazz and the bad wolf was playing the trumpet with them. This music and the trumpet caught my attention and I asked my parents what kind of music this was. They replied, this is jazz. I then found out about a famous jazz trumpeter named Louis Armstrong and would listen to his music everyday while riding the bus to school. After a few months, I asked my parents if I could have a trumpet and begin to take trumpet lessons.
