I have been teaching professionally for over 30 years now. As an intern in Cuba's conservatoires and privately as guitar teacher. Later in Jamaica at the Cultural arts center in Montego Bay where I became familiar with the system used by the associated board of the royal schools of music ABRSM, based in the UK but for sure the most used system in the world by a majority of countries around the world.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I believe that one of the most important and essential components of learning is "fun". I also believe that music requires great discipline. I've developed my teaching style around these two factors where I create lesson plans that include a variety of methods to provide a learning experience that is fun! I also teach and encourage students to use their expressive nature to ensure musicality. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Every student has a different learning style. It is my job as the instructor to figure out what that is. Typically, I learn where my students interests lie in order to better engage them. At the same time, I teach them the fundamentals of music, which play an equally important role in their education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
All teaching methods are different which is why I prefer to stay diverse and open to the preferences of the student. Being familiar with nearly every genre of music, I’m capable of teaching any style the student is interested in from movie scores, to broadway show tunes, to gospel, and modern, etc. Of course my favorite style and the one I recommend is the classical curriculum which I usually try to implement with each student as it has shown the best results in the past with students of all ages.

If a student finds they do not like the music we are studying, we can easily find something we like! I feel it is important to address a wide range of skills and abilities in private lesson setting. I believe that, regardless of background, experience, skill set, or talent, music is a fabulous setting for fostering teamwork. I strive to recognize the strengths whether this be performance, aural skills, or even music appreciation! Read More

My love and passion for teaching began when I was a teenager. As I mentioned, it was initially a way of earning extra spending money that led to a career. With so many years of teaching experience, I have developed a teaching method that is fun and proven to work. I have worked with students of all ages and ability levels, from children to adults, beginners to advance. I tailor the lessons to fit the students goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am deeply committed music educator who began teaching privately in 2002. I have taught in music elementary, middle school, and music high school as well as at the university being a teaching assistant at Florida International University and University of Miami. I have taught students of any ability or level, and it is always a pleasure to work with a new student, and to create and shape his or her musical personality. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Technique! That is the ability to play a note with the correct attack, duration, phrasing and dynamics that allow a note to sing. Knowing when to play and when not to play especially in jazz or improvised music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend practicing for 30 minutes a day. It is more effective for some people to practice at two 15 minutes intervals a day. It is my experience that it is more effective to practice everyday than to practice for hours to " cram" for the test.
When will I start to see results?
I've seen results within a few weeks. I've asked parents to hang in for 6 months gently encouraging the student. If the student continues to complain about lessons or refuses to practice it might be time to move on. As a caveat I've never heard anyone say they were happy about giving up lessons. I've heard people say they wish they continues or stayed with it.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always liked guitar. I played the piano and the idea of playing with 8 fingers and six strings with 23 frets was interesting to me. I thought electric guitars looked cool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the John Thompson series. The pages are not cluttered with superfluous pictures. I can expand on the lessons and use my own techniques and philosophy to teach.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Living off grid in the wilderness as a hermit growing my food and playing guitar on the porch. My wife has terms and conditions that prevent me from doing this so music it is.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have successful students. I would have to ask their permission to drop their names here. They have played with world renowned bands and become wanted side men.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not a teacher. Its a long story but I knew a guy about 15 years older than me who showed me how to play jazz chords. I thanked him until today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was always there. I wanted to play guitar, but Mom and Dad insisted on piano and I'm glad they did. Piano opens up all other instruments. I took up guitar as an adult. I have a friend who is a great guitar player, he says piano is order and guitar is chaos!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
writing and composing radio and TV jingles. I'm also proud of the students I've had that went on to be professionals. Playing with Bo Diddly was a kick.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I f they ask or respond to your question positively. I think 6 years old is a good time to start. I ask the parent if their child does well in school. Kids are funny I've seen excetions to all the rules!
