In 1998 I became Musical Director of the group Los Tigres, with which I began to develop my compositional and arranging skills.. In 2001 I founded the group SonEra, now performing only my own compositions and arrangements. During this period of time I also developed my teaching career, working as a drum, percussion and piano teacher at Rinkeby Music School, Kulturama and at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. I also presented Cuban music workshops all over Sweden. Read More

I typically teach with method books as references for younger students, occasionally using printouts to give to students to take home and study in order to have a better undertanding of what was gone over in class. As students become more proficient in music reading and theory understanding, we develop an understanding of what the student would prefer to learn in regards to genre and focus on that, and the technical aspects of playing that lead to proficiency in that genre and style.

I'm mostly focused on keeping my students engaged with music. Some decide it can be a lifetime career, while others simply want to enjoy all the benefits that come from learning an instrument.

Seeing a student take on a challenging piece is more rewarding to me than anything. When I see a student struggling, I will offer the techniques that I would typically use, however there is no ONE right way to do everything.

This will result in repeating lessons, which I avoid at all costs. Read More
