ABOUT
Degrees / Training / Special Info:

BA, Cals State Long Beach, Instrumental Music AA Cerritos College, Music

Overview:

I am a passionate and disciplined instructor that believes that students should enjoy music at all times. In 2010, I graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a Bachelor in Instrumental Music. One of the experiences that I always enjoy in music is performing. I am a Los Angeles based musician that has worked with different groups, styles and artist. Another skill that I have acquire during the course of my career is the ability to arrange and write music. I have been part of a few short film projects that were featured in a couple of film festivals. I also can teach in Spanish.

EXPERIENCE

My musical experience began back when I was 11 years old. I was introduced to music when I was a boy and from that point on my life changed. Through the course of my career I have played many genres of music such as Classical, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Rock, Blues, and Commercial Music. I graduated from the University Cal State Long Beach back in 2009 with and emphasis in instrumental music. During my college years I studied classical string bass and performed in different instrumental and vocal jazz ensembles. My primary instrument is the bass but I also play piano and guitar. I have been a musician for twenty five  years and a teacher for ten years. In the last three years I have been working as a music teacher in Los Angeles Unified District.

METHODS USED

For beginning students who are children, I usually start with technique exercises that will help develop the foundation of their playing. I do not introduce music notation usually until the fifth or sixth lesson. I believe that kids learn faster when they beginning learning by call and response or like many call imitation. By developing first the ability to listen and play by instinct a student can develop a stronger foundation in developing the beat and noticing high and low pitches. In my perspective music notation needs to be introduce later in the musical experience of a child.

LESSON STYLE

My teaching philosophy is pretty simple and I describe it with these three words clear, direct, and creative. I believe that when it comes to teaching a teacher must be creative, since not all students learn the same way. Also a teacher must be simple and direct in his teachings. A lot of the times teachers tend to give too much information that goes over the head of the students. Whenever I sit with a new student I study the way he or she behaves when we do music. The reason for this is because I believe that a teacher must customize a lesson according to needs of the student.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
