Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
A great deal of music around the world is based off of the notion of a particular set of spirits or a set of emotions that human beings experience. This is a highly anthropomorphized approach to composition, which has been important in the establishment of human beings in the world today. I feel as though the world is saturated with compositions in this style and there is technology available today that allows performers and composers to engage in their environment in a more direct way involving statistics, information, and original sound synthesis from the occurrence of natural phenomenon.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I first began teaching in Highschool but recieved most of my formal experience during the four years of my undergrad education. During the past five years I have taught for UCLA, Mt. San Antonio College, Gymboree Play Music and in my own private studio. These past years I have taught a wide array of individuals which has taught me and allowed me to grow into an educator that I can be proud of. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard
In my teaching approach, I've discovered that blending classical and contemporary music can be highly effective in engaging students and motivating them to practice. Ensuring that my students enjoy their lessons is paramount because if they're not having fun, I consider it a missed opportunity. My goal is to make music lessons an enjoyable and enriching experience. Encouraging my students to participate in competitions and recitals is a significant part of their musical journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I'm a fun, enthusiastic music teacher who enjoys teaching students of all ages. With a degree in music performance from the Cincinnati Conservatory and in acting from the LA City College Theatre Academy, I bring a special skill set and experience level to my lessons. I've been teaching private lessons in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years. My passion is finding a way for each individual student to want to get the most out of their musical education. Sharing the love of music is a vocation that I take very seriously! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I started teaching in 2011 back home in Peru, where I had the chance to share the knowledge I adquire at Berklee with students that didn't have the same opportunity as me. Later on, in 2013, I started a workshop series where I had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills privately, and with big groups. I have developed my own methods of teaching Jazz Harmony, Improvisation, saxophone sound and technique, piano for beguinners, etc. Read More

I encourage my students to get actively involved with joing group and stuff and put together a recital to show off their talents.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I'm an extremely dedicated and passionate performing artist, composer, and instructor with a BM in Jazz Studies from the USC Thornton School of Music. I love all aspects of playing, teaching, and writing music, but my favorite part is sharing my passion with others and watching a similar passion grow in themselves. I have been playing saxophone for about 12 years, flute and clarinet for 7, and drums and piano for the past 3 years (so I can only accept beginning drum and piano students.) I love all types of music and will work with you on any genre you want to work on while improving your overall facility on your instrument! Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes! I've had a number of students awards and honors. Those include: San Diego Honor Band, New Mexico All State, New Mexico All State Jazz, and received top marks for the Associated British Royal Schools of Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most challenging things to master on saxophone (and many instruments) is consistent control and and sound quality throughout the range of the horn. Every note has a slightly different character, and I believe the difference between a student and a master is the ability to hear those differences and start to create more cohesive and unified sound, no matter where you are on the instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Really important question. If anyone over the age of 8 states, "I want to learn the _____," then they're ready. Some teachers are willing to start younger. I've found that I'm a more effective teacher for students that are 8 or older
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, I can trace my musicality through my family. My mom was an avid amateur musician, and her mother (my grandmother) was actually a song writer who wrote under the pen name Edith Fields!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Great question! I actually am engaged in several activities outside of music: I train and perform partner acrobatics and other circus arts, and am an Executive Assistant for business professionals.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
It depends on the student. As a foundation, I like to use the "Rubank Method" and the "Standard of Excellence" books. After we get through those, I start to introduce standard pieces within the classical repertoire, or, if the student has a specific interest, start to work on other styles of music (Jazz, Funk, etc).
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session generally looks like scale practice, range exploration, crack downs (an exercise I got from a past teacher that I LOVE), altissimo practice, classical practice, improvisation, and sometimes tune learning, depending on what's coming up
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Do a little bit everyday. Music is a language, and the more regular exposure you have to creating it, the better. A 15-30 minute session every day is FAR more valuable than an hour+ session once a week. When you practice anything, you create pathways in your mind. The more you practice, the more efficient these pathways become. After six month of regular practice, that pathway might look like a well manicured forest trail. After six year, you might have something like a two or four lane roadway (or bigger if you practice everyday!). After 15+ years of REGULAR practice, you can bet there are some super highways related to music making and expression that have developed. Do a little bit everyday.
When will I start to see results?
I believe that teachers are guides; it is our job to continuously point the way and correct the students course, much like a sailor corrects the course of their ship. If a student incorporates my guidance and practices daily, then they will see results within 48 hours of our first lesson. If my suggestions and guidance are not heeded, progress will be MUCH slower. The number one thing is daily practice. Music is a language, and one needs constant exposure to see any improvement. This includes both music making and listening. Practice, practice, practice!
