Instruments: Piano
For beginner students, I start with the basics and like to teach from the Hal Leonard fundamentals books, but it also depends on the type of student. Some are more visual learners whereas others might be more auditory inclined. I modify my teaching style to accommodate the student. Understandably, theory can get mundane, but I try to make learning fun and applicable so a lot of what I teach directly involves playing on the keys instead of writing things in books. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin
Music is my heart felt passion, and I thoroughly enjoy the oppotunities of sharing my musical knowledge and experiences with my students. I am a degreed music teacher, who travels to teach in Raleigh and surrounding areas including Knightdale, Wendel, Garner and Clayton. I first began teaching guitar and piano during my music studies at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS. At the university and after receiving my degree in music education, I have taught and performed in various musical settings and venues which has included the genres of classical, jazz, blues, rock, folk and country.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching method begins with fundamentals. First, I teach about the piano itself. Second, I teach the notes. Third, I teach tones and steps. Fourth, I teach about major and minor scales. After I lay that foundation for the student I continue with theory and note identification. The student is ready to take off from there. I usually at this point let them select a song to play as well as I assign music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion
In college have had the opportunity to work as a music instructor to a studio with over 20 students on a weekly basis. The students ranged in age from 5 to 70. This gave me a good perspective on how to directly connect with each student to ensure that we are exploring the best concept of learning for the individual. Drum set lessons are always more groove oriented first and I do encourage becoming comfortable learning from an aural perspective before tackling reading music and understanding theory. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have multiple dream pieces to perform. I would like to perform a piano adaptation of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor from Bach because its level and independence requirements are fundamental for any professional. Furthermore, its complexity and passion is unique.
In the drum I would like to play the iconoclast by Symphony X because its complexity.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a cousin with no proper musical formation that is a composer and keyboard player. Other than that, I am the only musician in my family.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was in a choir rehearsal when I was 12 years old. I saw the principal of my elementary school conducting with such passion that I felt Inspired. It was then when I decided to dedicate my life to music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play the keyboard because I needed to learn how to play in order to get graduated from collage. Eventually, I fell in love of the spiritual sound of this instrument and I keep playing by my own.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would be a programmer, publicist or graphic designer. I am very creative but I really like technology, so I think It would be something related to art or computers.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play baroque in the keyboard because its rhythm and composition are very logic and mathematically precise. In the drum I like to play rock and metal music because of its energy. I like the adrenaline I feel when I am playing but I like to play jazz too because I like to improvise.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music, Mention: Musicology. I chose this subject because it mix human sciences with my passion: Music. In this career you can study society and human nature through the organization and conception of sounds.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
2 minutes of each scale and rudiments from quarter notes to Sixty-fourth notes just to warm up. Then, 30 minutes minimum of exercises to improve independence.After that, one hour to study the piece.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the guide I use for the drum are "The modern guide for the modern drummer" by Riley and the "stick control for the snare" by Lawrence. For piano I use "El metodo Elemental y Progresivo" by Carpenter and for music language I use "The Pozzoli"
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Probably precision and technique. Even the most professionals instrumentalists have problems with the tempo and their techniques. Sometimes you get too excited playing the drum, It is when you lose on of both.
