Music has been the most important part of my life since day one. I am enthusiastic about sharing and instilling this same love of music in the next generation of musicians. As a performer with over 10 years of experience in a variety of genres, the most important thing Ive learned is there is no one path or right way to be a musician. My studies and performances have led me all over the world; from India to china, Spain, and all across the United States. Read More

I always try to make my classes fun and engaging. I manage a very particular teaching method based on how I have learned from my mentors. On the first class I ask what the student's interest is and what would make him/her happy to learn, how the student imagines playing and what styles of music are the favorites ones. If the student is beginner, I like to start teaching basic knowledge of instrument technique accompanied by easy rhythms so that the student feels motivated. Read More

My favorite statement to my students is, Be good with the weird. I say this because often times we make crazy sounds and do strange exercises in the learning process, but I promise it pays offplus, Ill do the weird with you! Regardless of what you need help with, we will build on where youre currently at and find specified ways to work on your needs. Its so important to remember that we only have a limited time together - so my goal is to give you the tools and get you feeling comfortable to follow through with the techniques to work on them in your own time (in between our lessons).

I believe that everyone of all ages can benefit from music lessons. Learning an instrument relieves stress and promotes optimal health. I believe that we are all creative being and music is a creative outlet. Researchers have found the acedemic potential of the student is increased by taking lessons for several years. I love helping others finding their own personal voice and helping them to get on their feet as an artist. Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the students, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
