My 5 years of teaching experience, and 20+ years of performing experience has helped me gain a storehouse of helpful knowledge, wisdom and methods. Having worked with all voice types, I have learned that each voice is unique and should be treated as such. I have always allowed my students to work at their own pace, but I have also learned when it is more beneficial to help push my students. As a performer, I have been commended for my artistry.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I have had the passion of teaching piano since I started building experience through further studying Piano Pedagogy. The courses I was honored to take were extremely valuable for the piano teaching jobs I was able to find for the next decade. My most rewarding experience was when my long-term student of 5 years won first place in her first "Battle of the Bands" for playing Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are". Read More

For children who are just starting, I use Bastien Piano Basics Primer Level-Level 2. From here, students graduate to selections primarily from Bach, Chopin and Beethoven. For adults I use Alfred's beginner adult course. I also supplement these books with several books that I have in my personal library, such as Keith's Snell's Essential Piano Repertoire. For scales I use Keith Snell's series and for technique I use Schaum's Fingerpower series. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of is my ability to make people turn their heads and focus on me when I start surfing on the neck. Time, trials and experience allowed me to build a musical intuitive fluidity where I handle the instrument beyond mere notes. The guitar is here to tell a story, to smile, scream and cry. This moves people in various ways which I am most grateful for.
I am glad that I never ever gave up on the guitar, on practicing and taking it to the next level. And this, despite difficult times at various stages in my life. The Doors' "Music is your only friend" anthem resonates with those who it profoundly affects inside their heart.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar as my primary instrument because it is the most versatile instrument by a large measure:
- The greatest reason by a large measure is that the guitar allows for all musical scopes: chords, arpeggios, solos. This allows the musician to become a 1-man band as needed in a variety of contexts: karaoke, live performances, jams, etc.
- In addition, the guitar has an incredible array of sound-altering techniques: bends, slides, hammer/pull-offs, tapping, sweeps, harmonics. All this arsenal contributes to making the instrumental the musician's natural hand extension and a redoutable musical weapon when the right skill mastery is reached.
The guitar also has several pros to be taken into consideration:
- Easily affordable
- Convivial transportation
- Low and simple maintenance (cleaning and changing strings)
- Very large string family (bass, lute, mandolin, ukulele, etc)
- Wide worldwide acceptance: guitar can be used to play literally every single genre in the world and still feel genuine
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was a student of world-wide renowned Moroccan-Canadian guitar professor Saïd Laghzaoui. While my standing with him was mostly focused on classical music, he did instill the desire of learning the instrument by understanding it in and out, by taking every musical measure as an entire fragment to be practiced until perfection. Most importantly, he stressed the importance of being self-reliant. This was the main source of inspiration to build my ear training, which then allowed me to learn all the songs on the fly now with little assistance.
Here are some excerpts of him:
