Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele
For the Clarinet, I typically use The Hendrickson Method book series with supplemental books on the side to enhance their various levels. For flute and saxophone, I will evaluate based on the student's level. Once I have established a method book, I incorporate solos and additional techniques. I also encourage the students to bring music from their band class and/or other solos they may be working on for festivals, competitions, or auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I believe my role as a teacher is to help students improve their musical abilities in a holistic manner. This means in addition to talking about technique, we will discuss theory and history related to the instrument and repertoire (depending on level of the student) as well as healthy and productive practice habits. I will help students to set realistic weekly goals so each student is improving consistently and feeling satisfied with his/her accomplishments each week. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What drives my passion for teaching is the collaborative atmosphere and those "a-ha!" moments when a lightbulb goes off. Learning is all about the act of discovery, and I facilitate students in finding their natural love of music. I challenge students to approach problems from all angles to help them understand music on a deeper level. Recognizing and rewarding every small improvement helps the student gain confidence, which in the long run makes for better musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
My instruction follows a broad method of teaching technique as well as musicality. I use method books such as Arbans, Clarke, Frink, Schlossberg, Concone, as well as several etude books like the Voxman series, Charlier, and others. Depending on the student's knowledge, I can teach theory concepts so the student can better understand the broad aspects of composition and improvisation. My main focuses are: rhythm, tone, playing technique, history, range, musicality with a broad library of different approaches to teaching through applied lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is instruction, encouragement and assignment. I will teach a concept and then encourage the student as they attempt to master the skill. I will then assign that concept and skill as homework. After the student masters that concept I will introduce another concept that builds upon the previous one. During each quarter of the year a piece of music is assigned where those concepts are necessary to perform the piece. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
My choices in books and other resources for the student are based primarily on the students' individual goals, needs, and interests. Generally, I approach the subject matter with firm but relaxed expectations, giving the students freedom but also requiring them to pursue a specified goal. This may include allowing the student to take a break from a challenging piece if necessary, to let their mind calm down and refocus while they practice a different piece with different requirements.

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion Music Keyboard
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I created a children's choir with 300 singers of different ages in 5 months in a public school for a Christmas concert with the Orchestra. We did not have any musical rehearsal with the orchestra and the choir together but the concert was perfect.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was by accident. My uncle had a drum in his house. It was a birthday present because he wanted to learn how to play that instrument but he never did. As a result, he kept the drum as a memory of his wish to decorate the house. I used to visit him and play his instrument just for fun. Eventually, my anxiety as a teenager decreased and I could stay focused easily. It was the moment when I decided to focus in the drum as my main Instrument. 6 years later, I started my proper preparation as a drummer
When will I start to see results?
It is different for each student. You can see little results in one month if you study intensely but typically it can be noticed after 3 or 4 month.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, he was the principal of the elementary school where I was studying in. He applied the Mozart effect with the students of that school by inserting baroque and classical music during the activities. Personally, I improved my concentration and my passion for learning new things grew. Eventually, I started listening this music at home, as a result, I became in a music lover and joined the choir of the school. Then, one day when I was in high school I discovered he was a singer and a choir conductor with no proper training. His passion conducting Inspired me to study music properly.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
You have to watch and listen what you are doing. More than just practicing, make sure that you are using a proper technique when you are playing. A minimum of one hour of practice everyday is fundamental to success.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It is important to start the soon as possible. The younger you start, the better you will be. However, the "recommendable" age to start is 4-5 years old because their automotive capabilities are sufficiently developed with their understanding to star in the music world. The child can start before this age if he/she shows a complete mastery of the language, otherwise, the classes will be just training or preparation to the real music classes.
