Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard
My work extends beyond the stage, as I've had the privilege of recording and composing for acclaimed series like HBO's "Hacks" and Netflix's "Insiders." Collaborating with industry veterans such as Rob Lewis, known for his work with artists like Christina Aguilera, Fifth Harmony, and the Backstreet Boys, has been an inspiring part of my journey. Additionally, I've had the incredible opportunity to perform as a soloist with the Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra, presenting my composition "Espirales" and my piece "Murmullos," both of which received awards and were showcased at the prestigious Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, thanks to the support of the Fundacin Sax Ensemble.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress and this makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the students, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Oboe
The methods that I choose to use with my students depends on what they want to learn. Some students want to just play classical music, some pop, some jazz, some marching band, etc. Therefore I do not use the same teaching methods for all students. With that being said, I do make certain that all of my srudents understand the basic elements of music, i.e., time and key signatures, note values, melody, rhythm, harmony, pitch, intonation (if a wind instrument), form, theme and variation, etc. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
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.

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!
