Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe
My approach to learning an instruments is to have the students learn to play by ear first before they can start learning to read music. I find that most students are able to progress quickly because it frees them to focus on the playing the instruments rather than reading notes. I consider reading music like different subject that they learn later. Learning music is like learning to speak. First we learn to talk and then we learn to read and write. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I love teaching; it is my passion! But most of all, I get great satisfaction in sharing the love of music with my students. Seeing the accomplishments, achievements, an growth of my students is the thing that continues to inspire and drive me. I encourage my students to have fun and have a say in the music selection process, because I want them to feel like they too get to choose the music that they want to learn and play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
For students earlier in their journeys, I do believe a practical understanding of music and basic theory is fundamental to unlock both the art and the science of performing. After warm up exercises that help acquire the vocabulary and sonic principles of agile musicianship, I would immediately dive into material that the student finds engaging and personal! I am an advocate for storytelling in the arts first, with mechanical technique and instruction used as vehicles to empower the pure love of expression! Read More

Hello, I began teaching professionally 9 years ago in my home studio. I first started with guitar lessons. I am very passionate about aiding and supporting the growth of students. I provide students with the skills needed for the complete understanding of the language of music. This equips the student to learn any kind of music that is desired. Students are then able to learn classical, jazz, blues, rock, and popular music. Read More

As of now, I have a business degree with an emphasis on entertainment and hospitality and have been playing guitar professionally for 15 years and bass guitar for 12 years. Some of the things I do professionally range from studio production/recording sessions to live performances (either with my own band or other peoples' groups or bands) and touring. I'm very grateful and blessed to be able to experience everything that I have up to this point at my still young age and nothing makes me more happier than to also be able to share that joy, passion, and experience with other people in the hopes that it might change their lives as well.

Instruments: Piano
I am organized with a good sense of time management able to handle the multiple tasks of a teacher including grading classroom management and lesson planning. My knowledge of music is extensive and I am a skilled teacher who brings concepts to life in creative ways. My student teaching supervisor and professor both commended me on my ability to pass my genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter onto the children. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For children beginners, I usually start with either Faber & Faber Piano Adventure or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. When the students have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will start introducing solo repertoire to get them ready for their first recital performance. For adult students, I guide my instruction accordingly after finding out what the student is interested in to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I like to use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements books. Intermediate students will practice their technique with Clarke's technical studies and some of Arban's beginning lessons. For the more advanced players, I will give them the more challenging lessons of Arban's and the beginning lessons of Claude Gordon's book if they have not played it before. Essential Elements 2000 is a book that provides a step by step guide for the beginner students, it also comes along with a CD with all the songs that are in the book. The Clarke and Arban's books are two of the most popular and respected books that trumpet players from all levels use. These are two books that even professional and successful players still use everyday.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The control of the sound throughout the entire register of the instrument is the most difficult thing to achieve. Even the most successful and experienced trumpeters can still struggle with this and still practice every day to improve. When bad habits and techniques are acquired on the trumpet, they can be very difficult to change and at the same time it greatly effects the endurance. For this reason, I spend a lot of time getting my students to play as relaxed as possible, even if it means that they cannot get a sound right away, creating a relaxed feeling will help them overcome the challenges that will be presented when they begin to take on more difficult music.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Throughout my musical career, I have been lucky enough to play with many different professional classical and jazz orchestras outside and in the United States. I am also proud of being a part of different jazz festivals in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Knoxville, and Cuba. Personally, Christmas concerts are my favorite venues because the audience knows all the music and everyone is happy and excited to celebrate the holidays with our music. While working at a music school in my home country Venezuela, I had the opportunity to inspire and teach a large number of students who did not have previous musical experiences.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I was watching a cartoon on the television. At the end of the episode, the three little pigs began to play jazz and the bad wolf was playing the trumpet with them. This music and the trumpet caught my attention and I asked my parents what kind of music this was. They replied, this is jazz. I then found out about a famous jazz trumpeter named Louis Armstrong and would listen to his music everyday while riding the bus to school. After a few months, I asked my parents if I could have a trumpet and begin to take trumpet lessons.
