Instruments: Piano Voice Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard
Ive been told I am a very encouraging teacher. My goal is to teach the student something new in every class. Lessons can focus on technique, performance, sight reading / singing, ear training, music history, music theory, composition, improvisation, fakebooks and more. Piano lessons can cover everything from how to sit at the piano to using rotational movements to get accuracy in large leaps. I focus on musicality. A student does have to be Lang Lang to sound beautiful. Read More

My focus is on Technique, Warm ups, and Injury Prevention on each instrument. I like to give precise instructions on how to build up discipline and practice regimens. The key to mastering any instrument is consistency. I believe it's important to get to know each students interest and goals in order to create a customized plan. I try to make each lesson, fun and inspirational. Each person learns differently. This is known as "modality" Auditory By ear, or tonal instruction Kinesthetic By feel, learns from physically being shown, a hands-on learner Visual By sight, by fret board position memory and shape.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My methods include playing by ear, learning the foundation and solfeggi. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts with relaxation , deep and slow breathing , mental focus and visualization of the action about to take place. Finding the correct position and start with slow ,light notes for some minutes in order to focus and relax. In the guitar it would be right hand notes on each string and then slow easy melodies and two part contrapuntal music. In the piano ,slow and light symmetrical excercises on both hands slowly stretching out and in with the objective of warming up.
A small break of 5-10 minutes
A second session of either slow left hand patterns from boogie-woogie or blues in the form of a vamp or a groove and then finding a way to input either lines or chords with the right hand or an alternate session of slow two part and then three part contrapuntal music alla Bach. For Guitar either a session of right hand rasgueados or strumming different rhythms or bass patterns to create a vamp until ideas flow on how to input melodies in between strong beats or and alternate section of slow Bach music.
A short break and a third section of scales and arpeggios
A short break and a final section of repertoire.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is from Havana Cuba. The system is set for a degree in both performance and teaching for instruments. Anyone who graduates from performance also graduates as a teacher.
I chose performance on my instrument because I love it but I was ok with the array of other subjects that are mandatory among them piano as a second instrument and all the music theory and history.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
In guitar my dream piece is Rememberings of Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega. I love it because it is a tremolo piece and the melody is extremely beautiful which makes it sound magical.
In piano I love an arrangement for Air on the G string by Bach because of its depth , majesty and emotion.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably translation or teaching languages.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Late romantic ,early impressionistic with a pinch of world music , bit of the blues and jazz. Somewhere between Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, George Gershwin , Ravel and Joaquin Rodrigo. I think Rodrigo represents my Spanish heritage, Ravel is refined , Tedesco was the teacher of John Williams and Gershwin is a riot.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Guitar was easier to get. It was popular and accessible but piano is very important for music theory and composition. It also creates more sound and wider range. Voice is the most direct communicator of words and messages.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father sang at home and in parties with friends and acquaintances. He also had a good appreciation for music of classical and operatic provenance. My uncle on my father's side became a wonderful popular guitar player by sheer genius. Sophisticated chords accompanying his popular songs and ballads in Spanish and a good singer too. All natural. On my mother's side, my aunt has a velvet voice and gorgeous singing and two of my cousins became professional musicians of popular and dance music in the guitar in their neighborhood where they did the parties.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Not long after starting music at age nine I knew this is my companion for life as a profession. It was not a gradual decision it was pretty much natural and spontaneous. Music was a prestigious and nice profession in Cuba , in Havana where many venues were built for that purpose and many people take lessons out of love for the music and the fun it provides.
