Although it is important that my students progress at their own pace, I suggest practicing as many 20 minute sessions possible daily, for research has shown that the mind can concentrate most clearly for that length of time. My lessons include Music Theory, Ear Training and Rhythmic Studies in order to save lots of time, by nurturing excellent Musicianship, in addition to learning the instrument, through practicing correctly. I am also an expert at introducing correct playing habits, by instructing students with regards to proper embouchure, breathing and Circular Breathing techniques, as necessary. Read More

Hello, there! I'm Ken and I've been a professional actor for over a decade. I've performed on Broadway, television, film (indie and studio), and on stages across the country. I believe everybody can sing and with the right technique and the right mental approach, you can have a wonderfully rewarding journey as a singer. While I have a bachelor's in music performance, I've spent my life as a professional storyteller. Read More

My favorite piano method book for children is the Bastien Piano Basics Series. Alternately, I sometimes use the Faber & Faber Piano Adventures. For very young children (3-6) "My First Piano Adventure," a Faber publication, is my book of choice. For adults, I usually use Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, though sometimes I skip method books and play pieces picked by the student. When teaching drums/percussion, my method books of choice are Standard of Excellence and Winning Rhythms. Read More

My teaching style involves setting realistic goals and making sure the environment is fun and invigorating. I always like to make sure I am teaching my students what they want to learn, but I do occasionally challenge them by assigning more advanced material that I envision them performing or think would be beneficial to them. I celebrate all of my students' achievements and always remind them of how far they have come, especially when they get to more difficult material that may test them. Read More

For piano beginners, I generally start with the Faber method books, but I always supplement with other books or pieces that are tailored to the students abilities and interests. There will be short pieces to practice at home which can be mastered in a week or two, and frequently there will be longer challenge pieces that will be worked on for several weeks with the goal of giving the student a piece they will enjoy playing for themselves or for friends and family.

Beginning students who are children are introduced to the joy of music not just by singing songs, but in a course that teaches music literacy, vocal technique, and ear training as well. Most importantly, we are having fun while taking this journey. As for older teens and adults, I discover what interests the student and guide my instruction accordingly. We typically spend the first 30 minutes working technique exercises; this includes focusing on body awareness, the movement of breath, and core of the sound. Read More

I've performed in many musicals, operas, and cabaret shows throughout high school and college, and have been in a number of pop/rock bands from 2010 to the present. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage everyday practice to achieve proper awareness of the technique. I always ask students to be able to feel more than think, because music is more a related to emotions than thoughts. I recommend to set up a practice time everyday, at an hour that is more comfortable for the student. Before start practicing, I advice to set up goals for that practice, meaning, what do you wanna accomplish during that session. This can be simple as "I wanna feel my breath." This goals have to being positive and directed to your main goal. Be able to recreate the feeling felt during the lesson and not the sound that was created. I recommend to record in a notebook what felt good about rhe practice session and what went wrong and did not feel good.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I come from a music family based of ear musicians. Everyone in my family plays the guitar and sings. At every family party, there is always the time to play the guitar and sing traditional Ecuadorian music. I decided to study voice when I was 13 years old, even though I had being studing music since I was 4 years old. I felt in love with the art of singing and performing in front of a big audience. I always wanted to communicate with people through music and with my singing I am able to transport people into a different place where a story is being told and is based on their own imagination.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I come from a music family so music was always around me when I was growing up. Everyone in my father's side of thr family are musicians and they all sing and play the guitar but none of them are professional musicians. My parents saw that I had music attitudes since I was little so they put me into a conservatory and see if I'll develop this passion. I loved music and the experience that I acquired at the conservatory was amazing. I was able to connect with people in different levels and have fun makong music. I decided to continue my career as a professional musician when I was 15 years old. Since that year I decided to be more serious about it and study hard to accomplish more goals and objectives. My decision hasn't change since then and I'm proud to say that I chose the best profession because is who I am.
