Helping each person discover their musical gift is a fun adventure. 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.
