Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching career began in high school where I was giving private guitar lessons to other students and peers. Soon after, I co-founded an NGO called "Music for Change" in which I was giving group lessons to underprivileged children and refugees in the Middle East while raising money for beginner level instruments through various fundraisers. These group lessons gave me a lot of insight into dealing with children under the age of 10 and pushed me to find new and creative ways to convey information in a simple and fun manner. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
< My teaching experience includes public school, private schools, homeschool groups, and individual studio instruction. Most recently, I am an undergraduate music instructor. I love performing but more that that I love to see my students embrace a lifelong love of music. I employ a variety of hands-on techniques that engage students and use incentives to help them achieve success. In a collaboration with parents, I seek to know the student and set up a positive reinforcement dynamic. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard
My teaching style is well rounded approach. I teach not only music performance which includes technique, memorization, practice techniques, body mechanics and health, and memorization but also theory, ear training, music history, performance and music business. All my students have opportunity to perform, learn how to audition for local musical theatre productions, how to record and how to prepare for careers in the arts (if they choose). Many of my students are composers/songwriters, produce albums, perform with local companies, Disney performers or are actors in theatre, television and motion picture. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
It is always important to set goals in a given time, regardless of age. Typically this means a performance which the student can work towards. For beginners it is important to spark the interest in the beauty of music, which brings a natural motivation a student needs to work on his own. Basic sheet reading and developing rhythm is a must and will be focused on. It is also important to note, that these skills will be learnt by applying them to songs carefully chosen together with the student. Read More
Instruments: Voice
My experience as a teacher dates back to my community college years, as I began teaching privately in 2013. Something I have learned over the years is that regular and consistent practice time is our best friend as musicians. Singing is a form of exercise and the more we repeat healthy vocal habits, the better we will sing. This is why I encourage all of my students to set some time aside to work on their voice and music.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Aside from Faber and Alfred, I also have Bastien method books that I have taught from during my decade of piano teaching experience. Of course, these aren't the only method books I have come to uncover. As for voice, I have a set of vocal warm up scales from major and minor scales and patterns that my own former voice teacher has provided me. I am very familiar with all the warm up techniques as well as breathing and how warming up techniques need to closely connect with the breathing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been a professional musician since I ws 14 years old. I enjoying accompanying and have played many musical theatre productions, recitals, church services, and choral concerts. I have taught privately and in public schools since the late 1970's. My greatest thrill is working with students who are eager to learn, willing to practice at their craft, and willing to laugh and have a good time. Sharing musical talent is so easy and so rewarding.

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I decided to learn how to play Timbales when I caught myself learning Latin Jazz patterns and variations on a drum kit a number of years ago. I quickly realized that Timbales have a different function than drums. A different sound, and decided to buy a set of latin percussion instruments and learned how to play them with YouTube, and of course also learned by ear listening to a lot of latin jazz. Later on, I performed live countless times playing the instrument
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I truly love Latin Music. It's very diverse and challenging to play. I always listen to and practice Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Latin Jazz, Reggeaton, etc. Latin Styles are always super tasty. After that, I really enjoy playing European Metal, very beautiful as well
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be an army member, I am planning to join the army to continue my education and keep growing as a musician as well. I would definitely be serving the US nation in the army. Will do in the future :)
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform and here's why, every style is unique and you can make the most out of any combination of sounds and times, serving any song in any genre. I think it's important to have goals, but not a specific song as a climax of what drumming is
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I stretch, warm up and go back to basics practicing rudiments every time. Then I develop patters and start to experiment with different patterns and sounds. Always with principle and relaxing to the fullest when praticing, to later perform how I practiced :)
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Drum Method by Haskell W. Harr as well as Funk Drumming by Jim Payne. I decide to teach with those two because it almost any level of drumming and really make it easy for the student to progress efficiently
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Music Theory and Studying charts is probably the most challenging part about playing the drums, since it's a lot of memorizing and practice at first, also it sort of takes the "feel" aspect away of making music a lot of times
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No, not yet :) I look forward to prepare students of all ages to be proficient and succesfully develop their talents winning school awards and having their hard wrok be rewarded
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Proud of being hired by local bands in Bolivia, because I played latin jazz and and afro-latin percussion instruments and music. As well as playing for a entire stadium with my church once, they gave us 30 min, and we made the most out of it.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because I alwyays had interest in playing the drums, since I was 3, playing with a toy drum set and my grandmothers house. I was always driven by beat of any song and would learn how to play it by ear before learning how to play the instrument
When will I start to see results?
It depends on the student, but I would think that within the first month you'll be developing consisting skill and results will start to show. Remember, consistensy is key :)
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher that inspired me with every lesson, gave me always good advice and expanded my creativity by teaching me how to play different styles of music and embodying the way other musicians play
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he speaks his native language and understands it, then he is old enough :) Music is a language, you learn to understand it and to speak it
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key. Practice always at your level, concentrating on technique and what it all comes own to in the end, making music. Being yourself and developing your own artistic expression is always the goal
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No, it dosen't. In my family, my mom is an HR Manager, my father is a criminal lawyer and my brother is a boxer. I'm the only musician in the family thus far :)
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision, I decided to continue my journey as a musician just for the love of it. I was practicing 2 hours a day so it was inevitable
