Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Having completed my education at Berklee College of Music, I pursued a comprehensive exploration of Recording Arts and Music Business, specializing in Bass Performance at the University of Colorado Denver. My journey originates from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has taken me across continents, establishing me as a composer, accomplished bassist, and sought-after session musician on a global stage. My path has been illuminated by several significant achievements, including the integration of my original compositions into advertisements and artist management successes that have propelled numerous artists onto over 600 Spotify playlists.

I am an extremely passionate music teacher, specialising in exceptional tuition on the trumpet, piano and voice. I am regarded as one of the best trumpet players in the world and have performed internationally as a trumpet player. I have lived and performed music in 4 different countries playing and teaching at the highest level. I was previously head of music at a top international school in Stockholm, Sweden. I have performed with the Sydney Symphony orchestra, in the Syndey Opera House and all over the world as a trumpet player. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I use different book series, depending on the age and level of the student. For young students, I start with the little Mozarts book series, lesson books, and workbooks. For older students, I will either use Bastien or Alfreds lesson and workbooks. This is mixed with a classical and folk book. We also work on theory, and making sure we know our intervals. Students also learn about key signatures and recognizing sharps and flats. Read More

The best plan is to always make room for fun as much as possible, because the harsh reality of practice can be a downer. I emphasize learning with the interest of the student in mind. It is best to be enthusiastic, but I make sure to see where the energy level of the student is to term the approach for the session. I give helpful reminders of learning techniques to stay motivated in between lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Recorder
From Newbreed to Chapin to Afro-Cuban Rhythm for drum set, there are many methods that are worth exploring. That being said, sometimes learning songs (covers) can be the best way to learn quickly and it can be a lot of fun. Something I've done many times too is writing precise exercises for students in order to address and target specific needs. Let's say a student has difficulty with his ghost notes on his/her left hand, I can easily come up with fun exercises in order to speed up the progress and get improvements for that student.

Instruments: Piano Drums
I am a drummer, composer, and educator born and raised in the Los Angeles area. I have been playing professionally and teaching since I was about 16 years old. Playing the drums and writing music is my life passion. My goal is to pass on my deep love for music by teaching and playing the drums all around the world. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For jazz piano: I believe it takes work and exploration to develops one's unique style of performing and arranging. Jazz is an improvisatory art form. I encourage all my jazz pianists to explore and try all genres of jazz and arranging.
For classical pianists: About the perfection of the technique and picking the repertoire that best suits the body type and personality. I don't think all classical pianists need to bang out Liszt. I prefer to teach my pianists to find their own voice of expression.
For musical theatre artists: Requires great versatility to master all styles of singing, acting and dance.
For opera students: To truly master all periods of classical music and diction (Italian, French and German).
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Piano: Alfred, LCM and repertoire
Voice: Standard repertoire all genres,
Violin: All For Strings, Fiddler's Fake Book, Suzuki
Theory: LCM all grades
Methodology is too extensive to list here so I will just say I model each method I use to the individual needs and unique genre studies of the student. Each student is different and each student's goals are unique. I take in mind personal learning styles and teach a comprehensive approach that gets results for any student I teach. Lessons include methods, repertoire, theory, ear, history, health and more.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Piano: scales/arpeggios, technique repertoire study, memorization, performance practice, theory/ear, music history
Voice: breath work, resonance (chest, head , falsetto), IPA/diction, repertoire, theory/ear, music history, performance
Violin: technique, bowing, repertoire, theory/ear music history performance practice.
Theory/Comp: All aspects of theory, classical and jazz theory, form and analysis, 4 part choral dictation, 20th century techniques, counterpoint, arranging, orchestration, modes etc.
Lessons are tailored to the goals and needs of each student.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I decided to pursue several degrees as I have varied specializations within the arts. I have Master of Music and Bachelor of Music degrees with double emphasis on piano and vocal performance. This allowed me to study all classical jazz piano repertoire, master harpsichord and organ for keyboard, perform concerti with orchestras, solo repertoire and chamber music. For voice I studied classical art song, opera, and have extensive background in musical theatre, Great American Songbook/jazz and pop-rock and Country stylings.
I also have extensive background in musicology and have a Fellowship from London College of Music. I have published several books and tend to write materials on mid century jazz/lounge/cocktail music.
I also have a degree in clinical hypnotherapy/music therapy and work with clients on the health of the body in prep for performance careers including breathwork, diet, yoga and techniques such as EFT, Feldenkreis, Alexander Technique and Reflexology. I work emotionally on programming the mind for success and have great experience in eliminating stage fright, test anxiety and low self esteem for my students.

I am interested in learning to play piano. I have no musical experience at all which makes me somewhat apprehensive about it, but I really would like to learn.
