Instruments: Drums
Upon meeting a new student, my first step is to assess where their abilities, experience and interests are. I may recognize they need extra focus on hand technique, posture or dynamic control, to name a few. I always inquire if there is something specific the student wants to get out of the lessons, whether it be focusing on a particular style, band or drummer. If they are open to anything, I begin by giving them a broad overview of styles, history of the instrument, different kinds of drums, etc. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's 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 makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More
Instruments: Drums Conga Djembe
Although i have taught many students the way i learned which was only on one drum for the first few months to focus on rudiments (the fundamentals of drumming) as well as the skills of reading music and the various parts that make up good technique. A couple of my tried and true favorite books to teach from are: Beginner: Haskell Harr Drum Method and Alfred's Drum Method Intermediate: New Breed by Gary Chester, Stick Control, and the classic Progressive Steps to Syncopation by Ted Reed Advanced: Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham, Patterns by Gary Chaffee and Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin Read More
Instruments: Drums
I realize that every student learns at their own pace. I have a relaxed, patient style to fit any students' needs. I encourage daily practice, yet I understand that this may not always be possible. I never force a student to learn what they don't like and always ask what they would like to get out of learning the drums. I know how to get results and with a little faith, I will help the student achieve their goals. Read More

Recently, my guitar program has created a huge buzz throughout the local communities as well. Hence, my impact on the local music scene has been a tremendous one. I'm educated in all styles of music, and my teaching program has been admired and awarded by producing students who now teach and perform professionally. In addition, I managed every music studio I taught at until I opened up my own where I managed and taught for 7 years before relocating to Las Vegas. Read More
Instruments: Flute Drums
For those of you who are just picking up an instrument, I begin things by pointing out the parts of your instrument and how to maintain, assemble, repair, and clean your instrument. The next step is creating a pleasant sound on your instrument. After a sound can be played on the students instrument, I will use beginning books that I will provide the students, and my own music to help a student learn notes and rhythms. Read More
Instruments: Drums
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play some guitar and I can move around a piano. The reason is that, when you get passionate about music, you want to try and make more music, understand it better.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience, discipline and the mechanical aspect of the drumset. Once the mechanical aspect (how and what to do) is solve, then you have taken a big step on your instruement.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's Degree on Arts, Perfomance Drum Set and a Minor in Latin Studies and Performance. I always love to play music and I wanted to get better at it. Play different styles and learn from amazing professors.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It started with the visual aspect. Seeing a drummer play seen a lot of fun. When I sat down and play the drum set for the first time, I was struck by the sound and vibration. It pulled me right away.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I got to study at Berklee College of Music and play with musicians from all over the world. Met amazing people and learn from teachers and other students. I was the president of a student group called Rhythm Club were we hosted clinics and had the chance to met percussionist from all over the world. I started my own project as band leader with profesional musicians. I also had the oportunity to tour and perform on 12 different states.
I have given clinics and in and outside the United States.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was not a teacher per se. I always loved music and the visual of drums and the drummer playing caught my attention. I had teachers who inspired me to play more and better and still, I get inspired when I hear someone play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific answer but rather different opinions. In my opinion, when the child has a sense of discipline then that is a good sign. Having a lesson requieres the student to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Patience from the teacher is a must but the willingness of the student must be there as well.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how well the student have manage to understand the information given plus the time invested on practicing. Setting short and long term goals helps the student see the results of his dedication.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice random things, avoid distractions, take brakes from your practice session, and set short and long term goals. Everytime you sit down and focus when you practice, you are becoming mor efficient in this process. Consistency is the key.
