What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

I began teaching since I was 14 years old, I used to prepared young children to take a test to enter an artistic institution in which I studied from age 9 to 17. I then realized how satisfying was to share this knowledge I had and always hoped to trigger in them the same enthusiasm I have for music. It's been over 15 years now and I have taught in many conservatories and academies in Costa Rica And Miami, in which the many experiences have helped to enrich my teaching. Read More

I use Beyer's Elementary Instruction tutor for beginners, another extensively used tutor that is inexpensive and pretty thorough. Bayer is all classicist but very easy to follow. It has technique and repertoire that is priceless for any beginner and for a good refresher too. Together with Bayer I introduce the student to an array of other books in order to spice up the course. "Harmony at the Keyboard" by R.O.Morris, where you learn harmony playing the piano and end up playing Bach's Chorales and composing melodies and harmonies to thorough basses from some of the best classical composers, a discipline that is key to arrangement and composition.

I usually start with a beginners book for children or adults.  We go through the lessons at their own speed.  As for practicing the scales, I do not introduce them until the students is thoroughly familiar with the keys (the alphabet of the keys.)  For adults I introduce the scales and arpeggios much earlier. I work with the students at their own speed. They like my style of teaching. Lessons with me do not seem like a chore because I am a teacher who does not get upset with the students . Read More

Helping Singers realize their "Dream" is my passion. I gained international recognition as a vocal performer of note, having performed on the stages of Acapulco, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Aruba, Curacao and Buenos Aires, to name a few, as well as major U. S. cities. To date, I have two albums to my credit, "Time Wounds All Heels" and "The 23rd Psalm", the latter containing the highly acclaimed title song that while being performed at the 1984 National Baptist Convention musical in Los Angeles, received a standing ovation by some 6,000 listeners.
