Instruments: Piano Voice
While the technique is the same, the approach can be very different for each student. I first work on breath, then warm up the voice with exercices and then we sing and have fun. I accompany my students on the piano and encourage them to perform at recitals if they feel up for it. Working with children is different: For piano only, I use the Faber+Faber material, it's a fun and easy approach and works very well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Mandolin Acoustic Guitar

Once I started studying at California Institute of the Arts in 2012, I begin teaching music lessons and working as a part-time performing arts teacher at the university while pursuing my degree. Now, I am a full-time teacher and performer, growing my student base in Santa Clarita Valley. I love to teach and help others discover new passions and reach their goals. As a versatile instructor, I teach all ages from 4 through 65+. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe the ultimate goal of teaching piano lessons should be to make the student independent of the teacher. This requires years of training, while the student learns how to listen to his or her playing and acquires a musical technique and the requisite skills.Focus on developing musical skills is essential to good piano teaching. Traditional methods immediately teach students to learn to read music, while other methods (such as Suzuki and piano-by-chords approaches) ignore music notation altogether, citing other advantages.

Since that point, I have had 20 students of ages ranging from 6-82 and it is has been wonderful to learn more about teaching and how each student really is a customized project in the making. Finding out what makes each student motivated is a joy that is unparalleled. If you are a student/parent wanting to be understood by your difficulties with the piano, I am the teacher who will understand. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Oboe
I truly believe that all learning, while serious in nature, should be fun and exciting in methodology. Living in the age of technology, there are so many ways to make learning fun and interesting for students. Whether it be sharing information from Youtube, educational sites such as The Teaching Channel, using digital music apps such as "Smart Music" for assessment, showing a student how to record themselves on their smartphones, all of these things can be brought in to the instructional experience.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Teaching varies from student to student because there are no two students alike.
For those who have no idea about anything to do with the guitar i start from scratch with the basics and i show them what every part of the guitar is called and why it is the way it is, also how to tune a guitar as well as learn the strings and notes.
For more advanced students i skip that jazz and i simply ask them if they want to learn more songs, notes, scales, chords, theory.
Whatever they are interested is what i focus the most on while throwing the rest in along side it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
i have no degree nor have i ever went to school for music though i would love to do so!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to preform is something i have been working on all my life.
its a working progress and i just let it come out when i comes out.
i hope it is well worth the wait!.
as far as cover songs, my favorite song to play would be the duel from the crossroads because i remember watching that as a child and i fell in love with the fast guitar leads after a whole movie of slow blues!
my favorite acoustic song to play is dust in the wind because its just so musch fun for me to play and i love having fun while playing!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If i was not a musician i would be trucking because my father was a trucker and i love traveling.
Music keeps me from being bored also
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
my Favorite style to play varies along with my mood but i love all music from latin to rock, blues to classical, jazz to oldies , classic country to folk and all in between.
i play alot if Spanish guitar on my classical because i fell in love with the sound when i was in Mexico.
i use to love to play heavy metal because my cousin played in a heavy metal band but i mellowed out as i grew older and now i love to play soft and slow just as much as fast and heavy.
i love a good blend of music.
Most of the songs i write are a blend of all styles that have influenced me and i would say i have a wide variety of sound in my style.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing trombone in 6th grade because the band teacher said they already had enough drummers.
i then started playing the guitar at 12 and by age 15 i was playing around with drums, flute, bass guitar, piano, harp, harmonica , bongos, ect.
i fell in love with music as a whole and didnt always have freinds to play music with so i started picking up different instruments to add into my songs that i started writing and recording.
i always go back to guitar though i try to play many other things.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs in my family on both sides.
On my mothers side there are a lot of rappers, accordionists, and my older cousin who inspired me is a guitar player.
On my dads side i know he played piano and guitar, his sister also played the piano.
My sister tried to play the guitar but she was never interested enough to stick with it.
my daughter has been in music classes since she was a baby and she loves to sing. she also plays the drums, ukulele, and guitar.
my sisters son also bands on the drums!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
i decided to become a professional musician after hearing many people tell me i was really good at playing guitar and they all asked me why i did not do it full time and make money doing it.
After working enough crummy jobs that i dreaded going to and not making very much money or not having much time to spend it if i did make decent money i decided it would be best to utilize my talents for whoever would like to enjoy it!
i love playing guitar more than anything in the world and i am happy to play for free but i am not opposed to making money doing something i love!
