Instruments: Piano
Both, Music performance and music education have always been my passion. I began to teach piano at the young age of 19 years old at the Alejandro Garcia Caturla Conservatory of Music in Havana, Cuba. Attending Master Clases and Concerts helped me achieve a maturity level of teaching piano throughout my years in Cuba, Poland and The United States. I encourage anyone who feels a desire to learn piano to follow their heart and go for it no matter their age. Read More

It's all about the student's interests. I first gauge what styles they are interested in performing, and then implement the proper methods of teaching those styles. Depending on their ability level, I will simultaneously implement necessary techniques while generating the repertoire so that when it comes time for a recital, they will be ready. Lessons will generally begin with warmups, followed by choosing pieces to perform or developing pieces that have already been chosen. Read More

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Having a proper ability of bringing out variety of sound and color, of understanding and obeying the original style regarding how to appropriately interpret pieces under composers' expectation. What makes it very hard is the mastery of voicing, ability for the tone quality control, and the ability to manage multiple lines at one time without disturbing the structure and texture simultaneously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Have been mentioned in "My Methods" section.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a multi-layered voicing instrument, the harmony can be created on this instrument nor on other single melody instruments. I enjoy the sound of the piano and the touching of the keyboard. Piano is the only instrument that I have played for almost 20 years. Addition to the fact, I never learned other instruments beside piano, which I would have hoped to attempt learning a secondary instrument. I like that piano can possibly accompany many other instruments and singers. Range of dynamic and sonority are wide, which gives an unique character to create beautiful sound via such percussive-oriented instrument.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While I was teaching in Gainesville, Florida, I have two students awarded with prizes in competitions. One was for Pre-College Piano Ensemble Competition sponsored by FSMTA and another went to the Young Artist Concerto Competition in Jacksonville. These two girls aged 16 and 17 years old respectively. Both of them are eager to play piano, and they're hard workers. In high school age, they squeezed times to have as much as practicing hours possible beyond their intensive academic studies in school. I set the goal for them and choose the competitions based on the categories of divergent sorts. During the preparing process, I worked hard with them for strategizing the effective approaches as to help them fix the problems.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of myself that have been involving in music profession since my undergraduate study. I'm proud of myself to keep the perseverance as being a pianist, and actively play the recitals in different cities, venues, and for different audiences. By staying in the musical profession as a pianist, it requires many demanding things, such as adequate practicing hours, ability to prepare repertoires for upcoming recitals quickly, to read music fast and done the polish sooner than later, and so on. It also requires a great coping skills while on stage if neither of your physical or psychological condition is good.
