Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I love teaching students how to read the music. It really makes my day when they can play a piece and enjoy the music. I want them to then go forth and share the joy with others. Usually I play a piece over and over until I get it, then I have a little fun with it.I enjoy teaching music as a substitute teacher. I currently play piano or organ at 3 different congregations.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I, above all, want students to develop their own love and appreciation for music. I have high expectations in y studio, but I make it clear that students will progress at different speeds and that’s okay. Every week I give a set of warm-ups and exercises to focus on and expect students to practice so we can hone them when we’re together, but I’ll never ask a student to do something they’re not comfortable or familiar with - if ever there’s a question I’m there to answer or demonstrate.

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My method of teaching is that I always start from the theoretical part of every instrument or skill I teach because if they don’t have the background understanding they will be limited in their performances. I motivate by telling them my story how I started with no instrument I used borrow a two octaves keyboard from a choir member just to learn the piano my self I had no internet and no money so if I was able to learn in that condition they can do better.I teach the secrets of becoming a professional musician or music producer which one of them is consistency.

Instruments: Piano
One thing I really enjoy about teaching is seeing my students find their love for music. This is why it is important for each student to feel accomplished at each lesson. This can be done by helping the student make and meet realistic goals that helps them see their progress and feel like they are continually moving forward. I always make a point to acknowledge and explain what specific things the students do right. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The economy is rough. Your child still deserves to learn music. Growing up, it was not always easy for my parents to afford piano lessons. Despite that difficulty, I developed a love for music, (and particularly the piano) that has lasted throughout my life. I have played the piano for twelve years, and continue work to improve myself as a pianist every day. I was lucky enough to receive lessons from a woman who had her Master's Degree in Piano Performance from BYU, and my teaching methods mirror hers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I began teaching lessons at age 14 to young neighborhood beginners. As I progressed through the years, I expanded my range of student ability from beginner to upper intermediate, and from ages 6 to... well, older than me and I'm now 60! I have taught hundreds of students and enjoyed every one of them. I find that the more effort, especially in consistent and efficient practice (to be explained and demonstrated by me), that my students put in, the more pleasure and satisfaction they get out of it!

Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My biggest tip is SLOW DOWN! if you can’t play the pattern/groove correctly up to speed then you need to lower the tempo and start at a tempo that feels comfortable to you. No matter how advanced a piece of music is, you can always lower the tempo and practice bringing it up until you are up to the tempo of the song. Also another tip ALWAYS practice to a metronome, it doesn’t matter which exercise you’re doing, you have to make sure that you are playing in time. As a drummer our number one job is to be in time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Personally as a drummer myself I feel you should communicate with your child first if they even want to take lessons. Music is universal and can definitely be a hobby, but if you are willing to pay to see them progress I would hope that they have a good mindset about it. Especially if the student is eager to learn this will make him/her start to progress even more quickly. A student that just plain isn’t interested will not see as much progress as a student that is clearly engaged and has an itch to play.
When will I start to see results?
I feel if your student is starting as ground zero you will immediately see results after the first lesson. The basic “Money Beat” is a drum beat that really is the basis for everything on drums. Once the student starts to develop an understanding and is familiar playing the “Money Beat” you will see progress start to sky rocket. With this beat under your belt you will immediately be able to play along to songs by some of the biggest artists in the music industry. With enough patience and determination results will be further from what you could have ever expected.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Both of my Uncles grew up playing drums in the 1980s and ever since I was born in 1997 I was told specifically by them that I would be able to play drums like them. I had always been banging on my Uncle’s drums on weekends until I was 10 years old I got my first drum set. Ever since then I have been playing almost everyday and I still enjoy every second of it. Since graduating high school I realized I needed to get more serious about music and moved to Hollywood to study at Musicians Institute and later receive an associate’s degree.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music is Rock and Roll. Ever since I was a kid my uncle’s have always been showing me new rock bands from the 1980s that I had never heard of and to me it was the best thing I had ever heard. I immedietly grew biased to rock music as a child until I started to develop my craft and grow a love for all styles of music. I definitely am a Rock guy at heart, but I am more than experienced enough to teach all styles of music. Since moving to LA and going to college I have learned more about music than I would have ever thought.
