Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar Music Keyboard
I believe in using your ears as the most important tool. Which means I believe in playing music rather than reading it. Growing up playing music by ear. I prefer this way of teaching and only use sheet music as an assistant to help the student get to a certain goal. As a teacher I can help you grow your abilities on your instrument. Help you achieve the cool warm sound you want from the saxophone. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching style differs from student to student. With the younger students, it's all about fun. The goal is to make playing music less of a chore, and instead, have it be something they enjoy just as much as playing video games or soccer. For the adult students, and students interested in playing music professionally, I tend to give them more material at a much quick rate. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have taught private lessons with the guitar, piano, didgeridoo, ukulele. I usually try to find out where the student is at and their goals and try to build off of that giving them tools to keep them going and to inspire and create insight. Each lesson I give them a focal point like learning a scale and get them to focus different musical aspects such working on fingering, rhythm, tone, loudness or softness, phrasing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I try to have as much fun as possible while still maintaining a high expectiation of performance. I am, by trade and training, a comedian, so jokes and laughter abound. Most of my students might say I'm not as funny as I think I am, but we still have fun! I am, however a stickler for learning the basics of music theory and correct use of vocabulary. Students won't move on to the next level until I know they have a firm grasp of prior concepts. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I introduce scales right away and each student usually has a technique book. I also incorporate games into lessons for young students to keep it fun. As students advance I introduce sheet music and music they like. For adults, there are a couple of chord method books by Alfred and Faber available and I use those unless they request something specific to work on. I may also write some of my own music, especially for learning note reading. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is focused on helping each student feel at ease, so that they can better learn. I also am strength-based in.my approach. That is, I focus on each individuals strengths in learning. This is in contrast to other teaching styles which are geared toward focusing on an individuals challenges. I have observed that this is the best way to successfully address new musical techniques and concepts. An example might be a child who likes to sing, but is struggling to learn new notes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a professional bassist and guitarist based in Los Angeles. I love to teach and share my knowledge and experience to help others who are eager to learn. I graduated in 2016 from the Musicians Institute in Hollywood with a Bachelors Degree in Bass performance. Since then, I've been playing shows, doing recording sessions, and teaching my own lessons as well as teaching in a few music schools. Most recently, I have toured in many countries playing Bass with Persian singer/artist Dariush Egbali. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There are too many to list:
For solo classical repertoire: I love The French: Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Milhaud. I tend to favor impressionists too like Cyril Scott and have recorded a great amount of repertoire all ready.
For concerti I haven't yet performed: I would love to play the Leroy Anderson Concerto in C, The Leith Steven's Night Song Concerto, John Ireland's Piano Concerto and more Mozart.
For musical theatre: I love all the standard repertoire and love to perform them all
I also love to record my own original piano works.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have great background in art as well and film history.
I have taught film noir, Pre-Code and MGM cinema courses which I love. I'm a huge classic movie buff.
I love visual art and have background in sketching and coloring.
I love yoga and veganism and have written already 2 books on vegan cooking.
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and love working with clients in regressive sessions and teaching seminars.
I enjoy metaphysical studies and have background as a psychic/tarot reader and astrologer and find this fascinating.
I'm a computer web designer and I also design websites for my clients.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz Piano: 1950s LA cool Jazz standards, 1930s stride, ragtime, coastal smooth jazz bossa nova, and romantic Liberace-esque piano
Classical Piano: MOZART, and the Impressionists and French Composers
Harpsichord: Scarlatti, French Baroque, and 20th century works such as the concerti by De Falla and Poulenc.
Voice: Great American Songbook Standards, Mozart and Operatic REpertoire
Violin: Celtic fiddle
My expertise is vast and would take to long to cover here. I love all music with maybe the exception of Heavy Metal rock and rap.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I come from a musical family and thus it was required to be versatile. As a child I studied piano, harpsichord, electric keyboard/synthesizer, organ, violin, viola, mandolin, as well as ballroom dancing, ballet, acting and musical theatre and operatic voice.
My main love is piano and voice but I'm also passionate about harpsichord though I don't currently own one. I enjoy fiddle as well. I would love to learn classical harp someday if time and money permits.
I believe that most musicians eventually study many areas of the arts.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I come from a long famous line of musicians.
My great great maternal grandfather Canuto Berea Rodriguez was a famous Galician Spanish composer who wrote symphonies, operas, piano music and song cycles. He was also the mayor of La Caruna, Spain, and owned a family music publishing house.
My mother is a noted opera singer from New York and my dad a country western performer. I have 5 siblings that are all musical and many nieces and nephews that are all prodigies in the arts.
My nephew Matthew is a concert pianist who has already played Chopin and Beethoven standards by age 10 and is working on Rhapsody in Blue.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew since I was 3 I would always make a career in the arts. I prefer however to be self employed. I like to teach with my own methods I know work and set my own hours and decide whom I work on.
I didn't like teaching college/university due to the strict regulations, red tape of the California School systems, budgets cuts etc. In fact I worked 60 hour weeks and was stressed and exhausted. Ironically owning my own business I make the same salary for 20 hours a week and have a lot of free time to concertize, record albums and write books.

I would like to start taking piano lessons. I used to play a little bit when I was younger (29 now so..20+ years ago), but would like to learn properly!
Krista
I'm 30 years old and looking to learn the piano. I taught myself when I was younger on a very basic level, but I'm looking to refresh and further those skills. Thanks.
