Concept teaching is the most effective for advancing the musicians development. Teaching specific details and then showing how they can be moved and manipulated for a greater concept theme will give the students confidence that they actually understand what is happening musically from plenty angles and the ability to maneuver through the music and instrument as seamless as possible. Taking it bit by bit will allow for laying foundational bricks that will be an anchor for concept building. Read More

I have taught dozens students from over 20 countries about songwriting, guitar playing, singing, lyric writing, piano, ukulele and more. Since 2011 I have played in over 1000 stages, starting in my hometown of Corrientes, Argentina, at first playing on the streets for tips and later moving onto bars, later theaters, and now touring full time. Teaching has always been something I have gravitated towards, specially after several requests from my listeners. I have ample examples of frustrated or disillusioned kids and adults that left my classes with their heads held high, because they finally felt they were moving another more step towards their musical goals.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own place. I encourage this by setting goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's 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

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
When I am teaching, I learn my students. I understand who they are, what they need to know and am constantly evolving my practice in order to help my students grow. I am especially good at pinpointing what my students are doing well, creating engaging lessons, and helping them leave knowing what they need to do for the week in order to improve. I like to nest the learning of scales, chords, and techniques within the music that my students are learning. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have won auditions for their regionals orchestra and also their all-state orchestra.
I have another student who is principal of her section in a music minor orchestra at her university.
Preparing for an audition will help the student even if they don't win it. The key is starting early enough before the deadline, having a game plan of how much to practice and then focusing in on the specific problems early on.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Break the problem down into small chunks. 1 to 2 measures of music. Work on it for 5-10 minutes and then move on. Practice your bow arm and left hand separately and then combine them later. Use a metronome! If you can't feel the pulse of the music you can't play it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For students under the age of 11 or so, are you as the parent able to encourage them to practice? And is the student not only interested but willing to commit 15-20 minutes 5-6 days per week to practice? If not, they will not make progress.
When will I start to see results?
Assuming the teacher is giving guidance and the student is receptive, results will be directly correlated to the amount of time and effort the student puts into it.
This is also greatly dependent on the age of the student and if they have had music lessons or are taking orchestra class in school or other musical activities.
I'd say after 1-2 months of practicing 5-6 days per week you should start to see and hear progress. If you are consistent with practicing, progress will be steady.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
In the 4th grade at my school students could start to learn a string instrument. I originally chose cello but had a bad experience with a teacher so then I switched to viola because a friend was doing it. I won a playing competition in the 4th grade playing Kookaburra and that was an encouragement to me to stick with it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All my teachers have inspired me with their high level of playing and their knowledge as well as their passion for teaching. They have helped me learn how to teach myself as I've gotten older which is an invaluable skill.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud that I've played principal viola in many orchestras, including the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic and a music festival orchestra in Germany. I'm also proud of my students and my growth as a teacher. It is a great feeling when a student says they understand a concept, and when I hear them making progress in their playing!
