Nothing is more rewarding then passing your love for music on to a student. Each person learns at there own pace and skill level. With each lesson we will set small reachable and realistic goals. These goals will fit in with your larger overall goals. My teaching style is different then others as I'm able to tailor each lesson to fit your needs rather then go through a strict regiment.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Each student is different. At first I try to see what's their passion, how much farther they want to learn, what style would they prefer, and more things about their preferences. For the beginners it's very important to learn step by step. But at the same time I always find out a unique way to entertain by performing a peace for them, and/or play along with them or play an accompaniment for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a very relaxed teacher - I know that we do our best musical work when we are free from the constraints of judgment. So, I work very hard to create an environment of free artistic expression for my students, where they can feel at liberty to take chances in their music and know that I will be there to encourage them and help them find their way to what it is they aim to achieve musically.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I am educated in vocal pedagogy and teach the Richard Miller method of vocal health. I teach all ages and have experience teaching children of any age. I do encorage my voice and piano students Only if they express interest. What does happen often is that as a student absorbs the approach, it affects their life to some extent they naturally start slowing down and appreciating details in their lives too; they relax and become more aware of whats around them because their minds have been trained somewhat through practicing music that way.

My love for music started at the age of 7 when my mom enrolled me in a piano lesson. I continuously played the piano and there was a point that I also studied the organ to be able to play as an organist in our church. When I was in high school, my interest shifted towards guitar because of the surge of battle of the bands and I luckily became part of our high school band as a lead guitarist. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with blend of methods based on the game form of learning, in which all the appropriate to the child's age skills are acquired through the fun techniques and songs. For piano lessons I prefer use the Alfred's piano books or Hal Leonard's books, for voice lessons I use the methods of classical singing school, Set Riggs method and pop & jazz techniques, it depends on the style, that student prefers to learn.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes I use all kinds of specific methods as books. I have all kind of influences. I went to a lot of schools and had all kinds of private teachers. Everything that can work for a student can be brought to the table to study. Everything can be good. A video, a Book or just an exercise that the student wrote down in his notebook. I have plenty of books from different editors and authors. The reason that I collected them is because they are very special well known studding materials as books, Cds, play alongs, videos, training machines.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
In a calm clean and ordered room. With the proper tools, instruments and specific topics to learn. It has to be quality time. To be aware to identify all the elements on the sound and recognize good postures and relax interpretations. Quality time means to be very focus for an intensified learning. It also means that the session has to be joyful. That the people involved in the process finish happy because they really they learn a new inspiring skill. Also not all the practice sessions are the same. Depends with the moods of the students we always find interesting and fun ways of doing things.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance in Guitar and Voice. I think those 2 instruments are more attach to me. Guitar for being my first and old instrument and Voice because was the instrument I learned after guitar and is so intimate to me. AS my dad thought me guitar influenced me a lot. I wasn't expose to all the instruments. Guitar was in my life and I grabbed and loved. Before I went to voice school or have any voice teacher, I started singing by my self in my room. My voice was bad at the beginning but my guitar helped me to tune better. Till I was already singing good and people accepting my voice sounded good.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
As I have a lot of different influences of styles and instruments. My dream peace could be different ones. Every style can be so special and have its own qualities. One song or melody can be so special for a certain type of instrument. An instrument that bring the music up while others just complement in the background. I like to learn songs in all the instruments by memorie can be easier than reading the music in all different keys and transposing it to a new instrument. A dream piece to perform can be Concierto de Aranjuez from Joaquîn Rodrigo o la Partita de John Sebastian Bach to name a few. The reason is because is very deep music that touch hearts.
