Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
For children and adults who are beginners I tend to use the Orff Approach as well as the Dalcroze Method. With thses methods I cnan engage the student with the music while they use their mind and body to learn the basics of music. I like to first teach students to read sheet music and learn the importance of meter and time siganture. I then move on to more techniques as they learn. Read More

My first venture with popular music was in 1986 playing vibraphone with SinTrans, a jazz group founded at the Conservatory Amadeo Roldn. SinTrans got to perform at the International Jazz Festival in Havana in 1987 and 1988. In 1993 I moved to Stockholm, Sweden where I developed my professional career as a musician, performing and recording with many of the most prominent artists and acts in Sweden: Nordman, Bo Kaspers Orkester, Bebo Valds, Lill Lindfors, Peter Jback, Carola, Blacknuss All Stars, Stockholm Folk Big Band, Jonas Knutsson, Magnus Lindgren Radiojazzgruppen, Janne Tolf and Mats Holmkvists Big Band to name a few.

I customize each lesson specifically for my students so that they remain satisfied and fulfilled with what they are learning.Each student has different interests and its my job to build a music curriculum around them. I usually encourage my students to have both a method book for fundamental skills, and a performance book with pieces that they want to learn. We will decide this after the first introductory lesson.

I use whatever method the student require based on their ability to learn and what there goals are but am fond of the Faber and Faber method. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching style is based on traditional classical approach of Russian Piano teaching method. For younger, beginner level student lessons are structured around different activities and games (for very young students) to learn notes reading and rhythm. For intermediate and more advanced students each lesson starts with a warm up, of scales, arpeggios, etudes or other technical pieces. After that we move onto working on individual pieces of music. Student is explained what needs to be done to achieve desired results for each specific piece, and the homework is written in a notebook for the following lesson. Read More

I was the founder of the system of Adventist orchestras in my country and I was part of the formation and direction of more than 300 young people during the 2 years that I was in charge of the first school of Adventist music of Venezuela which was created in San Cristobal, state of Tachira Read More
Instruments: Voice
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my performances with the New York and Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestras. My favorite performance of all was performing Leonard Bernstein's Mass in its entirety. We performed not only with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, but also the Temple University Choir, the American Boy's Choir, a marching band, professional singers, and world-renowned conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. I am also proud of my college voice recitals in 2015 and 2016. Hearing the progression in my voice and learning the arias/song cycles was an experience I will always remember. These were huge accomplishments for me, as I had never performed a recital prior to these. It was amazing performing in front of friends, family, and teachers.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The way I teach comes from the methods first created by Cornelius Lawrence Reid. Reid was a specialist in the style of bel canto, a way of singing to create an open and rich sound. This technique was used in the operatic world for over 800 years, and came back in the beginning of the 1900s from Reid. He wrote two books that further explained the bel canto technique: "A Dictionary of Vocal Terminology" and "Bel Canto Principles and Practices." Reid's technique was further researched and developed by Manuel Garcia II. Garcia was the first person to invent the laryngoscope, which first x-rayed the vocal chords. I learned these techniques from my high school voice teacher, Mr. Lawrence Lohman. I use this technique for my students and immediately hear a change in the sound. The student will also notice an immediate change, due to how open they will feel in the voice and the body compared to prior.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest things when it comes to singing is to not overthink. Students, usually who are younger, do not understand that how they hear their voice is different than how others around them hear their voice. Even on a recording, it is still not that students true voice. It is easy to overthink and feel that they did something wrong, they cracked on a high note, they did not have enough breath support, etc. Once the student can focus primarily on opening the sound, making sure it feels comfortable, and in singing the correct segment, the overthinking will stop. This will take time, but they will overcome it!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have always loved to sing. I remember wanting to perform ever since I was a child. I would write my own songs and sing them in front of friends and family. As I grew older, I found singing was a way to relax me and provide me with great joy. I found that singing, along with playing guitar and piano, was a fun way to continue with song writing. I felt it was more than just a hobby for me. Once I started voice lessons, hearing my progress further thrilled me for performing. To this day, singing and teaching others to sing is the highlight of my life.
