Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Oboe
The methods that I choose to use with my students depends on what they want to learn. Some students want to just play classical music, some pop, some jazz, some marching band, etc. Therefore I do not use the same teaching methods for all students. With that being said, I do make certain that all of my srudents understand the basic elements of music, i.e., time and key signatures, note values, melody, rhythm, harmony, pitch, intonation (if a wind instrument), form, theme and variation, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin
When my students first start I start them on the Suzuki method until they get to book 4. While they are learning from that certain method I do encourage students to tell me what songs they enjoy listening to and we will choose easy versions of the song that keeps them motivated and excited. Once my students pass book 4 of Suzuki we start getting advanced music including scale books, etudes, and concertos. Read More

I treat each student individually. Everyone has their own pace of learning and their own capabilities. I cater my lessons towards their needs. It is important as so they can have a successful learning experience and development. I also like to learn about what kind of music they like and I find the music they want to learn at their skill level. I usually incorporate several different genres into the lessons that they desire to learn, including Pop, Musical Theatre, Film Music, and even world music. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes I use all kinds of specific methods as books. I have all kind of influences. I went to a lot of schools and had all kinds of private teachers. Everything that can work for a student can be brought to the table to study. Everything can be good. A video, a Book or just an exercise that the student wrote down in his notebook. I have plenty of books from different editors and authors. The reason that I collected them is because they are very special well known studding materials as books, Cds, play alongs, videos, training machines.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
In a calm clean and ordered room. With the proper tools, instruments and specific topics to learn. It has to be quality time. To be aware to identify all the elements on the sound and recognize good postures and relax interpretations. Quality time means to be very focus for an intensified learning. It also means that the session has to be joyful. That the people involved in the process finish happy because they really they learn a new inspiring skill. Also not all the practice sessions are the same. Depends with the moods of the students we always find interesting and fun ways of doing things.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance in Guitar and Voice. I think those 2 instruments are more attach to me. Guitar for being my first and old instrument and Voice because was the instrument I learned after guitar and is so intimate to me. AS my dad thought me guitar influenced me a lot. I wasn't expose to all the instruments. Guitar was in my life and I grabbed and loved. Before I went to voice school or have any voice teacher, I started singing by my self in my room. My voice was bad at the beginning but my guitar helped me to tune better. Till I was already singing good and people accepting my voice sounded good.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As I have a lot of different influences of styles and instruments. My dream peace could be different ones. Every style can be so special and have its own qualities. One song or melody can be so special for a certain type of instrument. An instrument that bring the music up while others just complement in the background. I like to learn songs in all the instruments by memorie can be easier than reading the music in all different keys and transposing it to a new instrument. A dream piece to perform can be Concierto de Aranjuez from Joaquîn Rodrigo o la Partita de John Sebastian Bach to name a few. The reason is because is very deep music that touch hearts.
