Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been teaching music for a little over 5 years (2014). I have started many kids who don't know if they would rather learn guitar, drums, or piano. So I give them a tour of all three and show them the basics before they decide their favorite. I encourage consistent practice and practice methods that ensure that the students always feel a sense of improvement without frustration. Personally I've felt the sense of improvement after practicing but was still more agitated, but that was college, before I started teaching. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I try to get my students to develop a passion for music. My style and curriculum tend to have my students progressing quickly, but attention to detail is very important to me as well as a great sound on the instrument. For me the sound is number 1, then working on time is number 2. The notes will come. I try to make realistic goals for my students. We can achieve anything as long as we put the effort in. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone
I want my students to be inspired and enjoy practicing music. Nothing for me beats the thrill of performing live and knowing that you did everything to prepare for a show, and that's what motivates me to get better. I hope for my students to discover what motivates them and use that to practice. I encourage practicing consistently, but I also understand when students are not able to reach an assignment; Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
First and foremost, I believe in HONESTY and RESPONSIBILITY to my students. I remember when I took private lessons many years ago with various teachers and thought that I was pretty good at playing saxophone. It was not until I studied under Dr. Keith Bohm that I realized how horrible those previous teachers were. They were negligent and was not able to provide the essential fundamentals for me as a young musician and thus, I developed many, many, MANY bad habits. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
I am an enthusiastic instructor who likes to share the joy and dedication that is required to play music with students of differents ages and levels. I am a native from Cuba but have been living in San Francisco Bay Area for more than 10 years, which has given me the opportunity to participate in artistic events from diverse cultures. I had participated in several events and festivals not only related to music but also to dance, such as the San Francsico Carnaval with the Brazilian Ensemble BATALA, the CUBA CARIBE Festival, and this year I will participate in the Ethnic Dance Festival with the Afro- Peruvian "PROYECTO LANDO".

Instruments: Trumpet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather taught me how to play trumpet when I was eight years old. And then I didn’t play again until high school. Since my middle school didn’t have band, I was highly discouraged from playing my trumpet - the only times I played were the super easy solos from Disney movies for my sister. Once I started high school, I realized I didn’t learn much at all from when I was initially taught how to play. During high school I started to actually learn how to play well and work on exercises; but even then I wasn’t aware of any lessons teachers in my area so I didn’t really care about trumpet that much. A new band director came to my school my senior year and had jazz band, which I really enjoyed but I still gave up on trumpet after high school because I was too afraid to perform. Once I got into college, I was pretty much forced to perform, which made me realize my fear was so easy to overcome! It was then that I realized I was so lucky to have my grandfather give me a trumpet that started a spark in my life; even though it was a little delayed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My proudest moment was my senior recital. I organized the entire performance with trumpet literature, some unconvential trumpet literature (Rikai by Adam Cuthbert), vocal jazz, and classical opera. Everything I did in college all came together, and it felt like the culmination of all the hard work I did. Playing in Carnegie Hall was a wonderful experience, just being in the hall was incredible as much it was beautiful; it was an amazing opportunity and a life-changer. I also had the amazing opportunity to tour with the tarleton jazz band in Italy on trumpet and vocals! Another proud moment was playing with the trumpet ensemble at the national trumpet competition. Going there with my friends with whom I worked so hard with was fantastic and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My university gave me a lot of amazing opportunities and I am so grateful.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students advanced to area, and then state in her solo literature! I taught her from day one, when she couldn’t buzz in a mouthpiece. Watching her grow is one of the best and proudest feelings that I’ve ever felt. She had a lot of obstacles and didn’t practice very much in the beginning, but with some hard work and motivation, we made trumpet a priority for her. She was my very first student; and my guinea pig. I grew just as much as she did, me as a teacher, and her as a trumpet player. I love watching my students grow and fall in love with music, and I cant wait to teach more students.
