I started giving Music lessons 20 years ago. I began giving private lessons and group lessons part time in the afternoons after I finish school in the mornings. Young students come to me asking me for lessons after a Gig or performance. I found very interesting and exiting to see the progress of the students with my own personal methods. We follow a process with disciple but we also have fun and we go to the direction that the student feels more attracted. Read More
Instruments: Piano
With beginners, I provide material that teaches about finger numbers, rhythm, note learning, and basic material. As the student progresses, I asses their learning style and provide the necessary material and suggestions as to what books and miscellaneous learning tools the student will need. My preferred method of teaching is through the book, Piano Adventures by Faber Faber. These books are divided into a lesson book, theory book, and performance book with the levels increasing from 1 to 2A to 2B and so forth. Read More

My lesson style is customized to each student. I use whatever is in my power and abilities to teach. It's about passion and letting go. Most importantly, it has to be rewarding and fun. And it always is! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I generally use different methods with different students. Since I expect excellence, I tend to treat students as professional colleagues, expecting them to work as hard and effectively as I do. I tend to develop my own methods as we progress, encouraging introspection by the student and developing a sense of musical independence. Success is subjective; enjoying one's journey is not. If a student is not enjoying the process then what's the use? Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello
Creative lesson planing, student motivation and individualized approach are the most notable characteristics of my teaching style. I always try to find out what inspire my students and what they love and enjoy about music. I think the most important for the teacher is to develop a passion for music in his students. Read More

I began my vocal studies in North Carolina State University with Elvira Green, who was one of the first black Sopranos at The Metropolitan Opera. I continued at Boyer College of Music under the tutelage of an internationally acclaimed jazz singer Joanna Pascale. After moving to Los Angeles, I began a mentorship with Tamara Beatty, who has been a vocal coach on The Voice for 10+ years. After college, I worked as a full-time talent manager in New York City and Los Angeles. Read More

When will I start to see results?
I can site results immediately. The best way to determine if your are making progress is to record oneself on a daily or weekly basis. Then go back to listen to the musical performance. I do this in my studio every day with several instruments I play and music I'm comping. Recording is the best mirror. As a teacher I can provide a perspective to a student, but the best answer is what your ears hear.
I notice results in my progress, by developing calluses on my fingers while playing guitar or strengthening my embouchure while playing Trumpet or Tenor sax. A small amount of muscular pain is a good thing. As long as you do not stress out the muscles the feeling of progress can be noticed through the repetition playing a musical instrument requires.
Perhaps the best way to notice results is how much one hears after a period of time. If you remember what you could grasp a year prior to the moment you realize your ability to hear music has grown, believe me it will be noticed.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have seen music help children who are unable to concentrate and focus. If a child is filled with energy music can be one of the best sedatives. If a child shows an interest in music I highly recommend encouraging this. Learning how to read music has been a great asset for many in terms of learning other important life skills. If a person does not go onto a professional career in music, the time one spends with music will aid one in all kinds of situations. I wrote music for a documentary where children of low soci- economic means used drum circles to calm their pain. Many of these children has seen and suffered things most children never experience. The transformation was magical. Just beating on a drum for 30 minutes a day had very positive results.
For that experince alone I say your child should do music just as they do athletics. It is the proper balance in life.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Use whatever inspires one to spend the time alone that it takes to achieve their goal. Start off crawling before you walk and finally learn to run. Practicing something fast and making mistakes will result in playing those same mistakes forever.
Patience. Transcribing music from any place you hear it is best . Singing the melodies is even better.
Some students need a rigid routine, others are inspired by changing their routines. It does not matter. Getting into your space to practice is all that matters. Finding a place to focus and do the hard exercises over and over again will pay off.
