Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I always teach based of what the student knows and/or what the student is interested in. I teach technical aspects, as well as repertoire and music theory. A healthy vocal sound is our number one priority. I integrate music theory within a students music lessons through their repertoire. Students will become familiar with sight-singing melodies and rhythms of various levels. I will introduce repertoire appropriate for the voice type and technical skill level. Read More

I must have started out in music when I was 4, and it was then that my love for the art grew as time went on. I started my piano lessons at 7 1/2, but I eventually decided the voice was more my thing, and I continued with that in choir and in solo vice by the time I was in junior high. Over the years, I have improved my skills, and I made my way to Fresno State University in 1996, where the competition was much tougher, and there was so much more to learn. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the last 7 years. I decided to pursue my studies in music education here in the Central Valley to be closer to my family. I've taught lessons in drums and percussion, ukulele, guitar and piano. No matter what age you may be, my approach is all about having fun and learning your instrument along the way; music is meant to be enjoyed! Read More

As I teach, I learn—both about the instrument or voice and about the style (both musical and teaching) that interests or motivates the student. While I have a basic method in lessons with certain techniques, exercises, and repertoire to be drilled and mastered, I will try to adapt and modify my approach for the needs and personality of the student. In addition to the areas mentioned in the checklist, I also teach conducting (choral and instrumental) and music theory. Read More

I like to encourage my students using of examples of famous musicians that have always inspired me. Also,I believe that understanding and open communication between teacher and student is one of the keys to success! I think it is important for students ask me questions when they not really sure about something so that they go home being able to practice and understand better. I am a firm believer that practice will always make you better in pretty much any aspect of your life. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began when I was a senior in high-school My sister had taught a few students in our neighborhood and asked me to take on her students when she moved away to attend college. I gladly did and discovered my love and passion for teaching. I taught consistently from 2003-2005 in Gilroy, until I attended Fresno Pacific University. I took a brief hiatus from teaching to focus on my own studies, but began teaching again in 2008-2011. Read More
Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The decission to be a professional musician came very gradually to me. I was always told to have a back up plan and that there is no money to be made as a musician, so I went the typical route of getting a "real job". However, It's important to me that I be passionate about my work, and there is nothing that I am more passionate about than being involved in music. So, I made the decission to be a full time professional , and I have never been happier!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
All of my uncles can either sing and/or play guitar. They were the first to teach me about music and what the drummer's role in a band is. Family gatherings were always a lot of fun when I was growing up. They would often turn in to jam sessions and sing alongs!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play guitar too. It was actually the first instrument I ever tried to play, but it didn't quite come as naturally to me as the drums. Eventually, in my teenager years I picked the guitar up again as I wanted to start writing songs. I also enjoy singing. I think being a singer and a guitarists helps me be a better drummer because I can uunderstand the members of my band better.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I worked in the the tech industry for a very long time. I was relatively successful, and made decent money. So, I could do that. I probably would be doing that if I wasn't a musican, but I'd much rather be making music any day!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy all styles of music. I think I'm probably best at pop and rock music. One of my bands performs a tribute to The Beatles which is a lot of fun! The songs are classic and the drum parts are some of the best ever imagined.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Probably "Aja" by Steely Dan. It combines everything that I enjoy about music: tension, polyrhythms and simply a great melody and memorable lyrics. The drums were originally performed by Steve Gadd, who is a master at using technique and still allowing music to "feel good".
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always start with a warm up on a practice pad. This is a good way to warm up and to "check in" with your body. From there I like to review techniques, exercies or music that has been worked on previously and take inventory on progress that has been made and what needs to be worked on. I end every practice session (And lesson) with a few minutes of creativity. Simpoly play whatever is on your mind and in your heart!
