Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I really love seeing my students come into their musicianship and artistry! I know that, it is really important that each student flourishes at his or her own pace. I believe setting realistic goals keeps both myself and the students engaged throughout the experience. I want to celebrate the wins we come across as much as possible as I know that inspires a lot of people to continue. I like to tailor everything to the students needs and desires while also giving them a broad knowledge to build from. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have taught private lessons with the guitar, piano, didgeridoo, ukulele. I usually try to find out where the student is at and their goals and try to build off of that giving them tools to keep them going and to inspire and create insight. Each lesson I give them a focal point like learning a scale and get them to focus different musical aspects such working on fingering, rhythm, tone, loudness or softness, phrasing. Read More

As I mention in the paragraph before, my approach to teaching is based on the value of Your personal, unique voice. My main goal as instructor is way more important than teach you the usual, obsolete repertoire that most of the teacher use since the beginning of times, it is instead working on making the student a unique, unparalleled music individual, through the stimulation of improvisation, instinct, composition and having a great time jamming.

I work to determine how best you learn, and then we move in your direction. I am left-handed and have learned to accommodate as well as individuate. My idea about life is that anything a person wants to learn CAN be taught. What is required? A deep desire and patience. But there is nothing as exciting as playing an instrument! Or learning to sing, and feeling the power that comes when you express yourself. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums
I have been a very active performing drummer for the past 20 years. I recorded three albums that were released worldwide with my band Scelerata. I did five Brazilian tours (50+ shows) as Paul DiAnno’s (former Iron Maiden’s lead singer) official drummer, from 2009 to 2014. In the summer of 2017, I recorded Rage In My Eyes’ first album in Los Angeles. In March 2018, I performed with America’s Got Talent winner Bianca Ryan. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice in small bits. Once you start overthinking or forgetting stuff you have to take a break. Studies prove for any topic you retain information for up to 20 minutes.
I highly recommend to practice effectively for a short time. It doesn't matter if your schedule is tight either going to school or working. You can sort out the most important things you want to have down and be able to improve.
Repetition is good as well. Those two will get you results.
For example, learning a song try starting with couple measures (small bits) and repeat them until you have them down, then move forward to the next parts.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone is ready to start lessons at anytime. Music will develop different skills and will bring joy to anybody.
Having the desire of learning is the best thing to encounter in a student.
I personally wanted to learn music when I was 6 years old but my parents thought it was not the best time or that I'd quit for being too young. Later on they realized I was focused on nothing else but music to a point of graduating College and moving out of the country I was raised.
I want to give anybody the opportunity of helping them to do and learn what they want.
When will I start to see results?
Results are subjective to anybody's opinion and needs.
Results depend on the teacher and also the student. The teacher can give the material to the student but if the student shows no interest on keeping up, then the pace would be slower.
I'd rather focus on what the student wants to learn and start from there; Therefore, as a teacher, I can keep the student interest and will to keep learning and improving.
My interest is to show the students their own improvements from the first day to few lessons later.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think there is never enough things to learn, practice and improve. We always have something to learn as musicians.
We have theory and rules to follow, but there is always something new to do or deviate from the music theory that ends up being a hit on billboard every day.
The hardest thing to master is to know you have to keep practicing no matter how good you think you are.
It's challenging getting out of the comfort zone once you identified what you want or what you're good at on your instrument. Techniques and styles will always come and go.
