Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private piano lessons part time 10 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that finding the genre the student likes can go a long way in helping them enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Music
Hello! I am a Colombian-American composer and flutist from the San Francisco Bay Area with a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition from San Jose State University. I have been working as a freelance musician for about 5 years. As a performer, I play just about anything and enjoy challenging myself with new repertoire, I particularly like playing Romantic or Modern music! I've had so many opportunities to perform with various chamber groups through an organization called Chamber Music Silicon Valley, and have traveled to many places in California and outside of the United States to perform and teach.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My primary goal as a teacher is to develop a love of music within the students. I'm more interested in developing Artists than I am developing "Performers". Perfection is not something that I aspire to as an Artist. Sometimes perfection, and striving for impeccable technique can become on of the biggest hinderances for a Musician to truly embody the stage, and show their passion. While I do have a focus on technique, I tend to find it within the student through their artistry, and I try to allow for that artistry to be the catalyst. Read More

I am a laid-back, patient, fun teacher, who is always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire her students. Before anything, I make sure my students are comfortable with me and relaxed. I am nurturing and creative in my lessons and aim to build my students' confidence and pride in their musical achievements while teaching self-discipline so that they will reach and celebrate many milestones. I love music, and I love helping spread that passion to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Keyboard
At the age of 23, I traveled to the U.S.A. and studied Afro-Beat rhythms along with other African beats. Back in Chile I became a member of many different bands such as Uruz, Trboles, Avioneta, The Zulus Casi Famosos, and began my career as a Musician, Event Producer. I develop a great interest in sounds and Synthesizers. In 2010 I starts Armando Jarana Production Company participating in more than 200 live shows. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents actually chose it for me. I had a lot of friends when I was young who played piano and my parents spoke with their parents and got me into piano lessons. It was my primary instrument through most of my life.
I do now consider myself more a vocalist than a pianist, and that switch started in high school, but I didn't solidify that change until my second year of college when I switched into a music major from a science major and realized that vocal performance was more of my calling than piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the tour I did in Italy. I was one of 10 performers chosen to perform at numerous concerts throughout the Marche region of Italy over 3 months. I also got to study with some former Met Opera performers while I was there.
The audition process was hard and I am still surprised to this day that I was chosen, but it was such an honor and an eye opening experience to the real world of performance. It was one of the coolest performances I have ever done and it rivals the accomplishment of getting my Master's Degree.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On piano, I think that the hardest thing to master is proper fingering and being able to match a composer's tempo. Often times practicing slower and building up to a faster tempo is necessary and that can be frustrating for a musician sometimes.
On voice, I think that the hardest thing is being able to keep consistent technique even through voice changes and developments. I think this along with vocal control in faster music is also a challenge. Making sure that the support is there without faltering.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I always use the Alfred series. I used them when I was starting, as did many of my friends who were studying piano and went on to be full time piano performers. Because of this, I stick to these books. They are easy to understand and follow a logical learning pattern that even non-musical parents can help their kids follow.
For voice, I use a combination of the English and Italian schools of vocal technique to teach. These are the most commonly accepted in the classical vocal world and can be modified for different styles of vocal music easily.
