Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I have been playing piano and flute/piccolo for 17 years now and my love for music has only gotten stronger. In the winter of 2009, I graduated from Roosevelt University with a Bachelor of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance. Also, I am currently working on my Master of Arts degree in Musicology/Music History at the University of Iowa (I still need to complete my thesis). As a musician, I have performed in numerous competitions, recitals, church services, weddings, and even several funerals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard
Suzuki instructional books and supplemented by traditional methodology for reading the various clefs: treble, alto, tenor, and bass. In addition, historical and theoretical subjects are introduced appropriately to keep the student engaged no matter their current abilities. We also have at least two public performances a year at a venue which has a high quality grand piano so the students can get used to the notion that every piano will be different and performing scales before playing their chosen repertoire will help them immensely.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Young students love playing the pop tunes, so I whole-heartedly accept them finding a book of broadway or pop tunes and brining it to lessons. For the older students, I always go to the Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet, focusing primarily on the slower etudes to continue developing tone. Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
While I have performed with numerous groups, I found myself falling more in love with teaching than performing. Playing the violin has brought me such joy, offered me so many opportunities, and given me so many friends that I want to share this gift with everyone. I believe that everyone can benefit from learning an instrument and I strive to give the best instruction and form the best environment possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience began with a few friends of mine in college. It was just for the fun of it at first, until others outside my circle of friends began to approach me about lessons, through word of mouth. I was soon known in my class to be the guy to go to learn more about music. In fact not all of these friends came to me for just guitar lessons, a couple I have taught beginner piano to as well.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I have loved music from a very early age and I have been fortunate to study a variety of instruments and musical styles. I grew up studying the drums, piano, guitar, voice, and songwriting. I have been in a cover bands, original bands, jazz bands, choirs, a country band, a steel drum band, marching band, opera, a pop orchestra, a hip hop ensemble, and musical theatre productions. In college I took my studies further by learning music theory and aural skills while still performing in ensembles and writing lots of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Organ
Hi I’m Gabriel, and I’m a self taught full time musician. I picked up my first instrument at age 9 and began playing professionally at age 12. In 2016 I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a bachelors of arts degree in instrumental performance. Since I began my professional career I’ve played for a wide range of local, national and international artists. My love for playing music is unexplainable and my love for helping others achieve their musical goals is just as satisfying. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My biggest tip is SLOW DOWN! if you can’t play the pattern/groove correctly up to speed then you need to lower the tempo and start at a tempo that feels comfortable to you. No matter how advanced a piece of music is, you can always lower the tempo and practice bringing it up until you are up to the tempo of the song. Also another tip ALWAYS practice to a metronome, it doesn’t matter which exercise you’re doing, you have to make sure that you are playing in time. As a drummer our number one job is to be in time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Personally as a drummer myself I feel you should communicate with your child first if they even want to take lessons. Music is universal and can definitely be a hobby, but if you are willing to pay to see them progress I would hope that they have a good mindset about it. Especially if the student is eager to learn this will make him/her start to progress even more quickly. A student that just plain isn’t interested will not see as much progress as a student that is clearly engaged and has an itch to play.
When will I start to see results?
I feel if your student is starting as ground zero you will immediately see results after the first lesson. The basic “Money Beat” is a drum beat that really is the basis for everything on drums. Once the student starts to develop an understanding and is familiar playing the “Money Beat” you will see progress start to sky rocket. With this beat under your belt you will immediately be able to play along to songs by some of the biggest artists in the music industry. With enough patience and determination results will be further from what you could have ever expected.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Both of my Uncles grew up playing drums in the 1980s and ever since I was born in 1997 I was told specifically by them that I would be able to play drums like them. I had always been banging on my Uncle’s drums on weekends until I was 10 years old I got my first drum set. Ever since then I have been playing almost everyday and I still enjoy every second of it. Since graduating high school I realized I needed to get more serious about music and moved to Hollywood to study at Musicians Institute and later receive an associate’s degree.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is Rock and Roll. Ever since I was a kid my uncle’s have always been showing me new rock bands from the 1980s that I had never heard of and to me it was the best thing I had ever heard. I immedietly grew biased to rock music as a child until I started to develop my craft and grow a love for all styles of music. I definitely am a Rock guy at heart, but I am more than experienced enough to teach all styles of music. Since moving to LA and going to college I have learned more about music than I would have ever thought.
