Instruments: Drums
It is very important to make each student progress at his or her own pace. This is done by setting realistic goals for each student at each lesson, keeping them inspired and interested in learning more. When you acknowledge students based on their accomplishments, it helps to fuel them a desire to progress and make them interested in learning more. Finding out what are his/her inspirations it makes it easier to fit my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums
My teaching experience dates back to the 1980's where I have taught Music Classes involving singing of worship music in religious elementary schools as well as teaching music theory, and music history. I was also a preschool teacher and taught preschool music enrichment classes. After school hours I enjoy teaching in my own home music studio, but due to pandemic have now switched to online music lessons. Teaching the guitar or drums to my students is very rewarding for it allows me to share my passion for music, keep music alive where as sometimes music is not present enough in this world, and to see my students progress and shine as they smile when they achieve a new musical goal!

Instruments: Piano Cello Drums Orchestral Percussion
For every student, I first find out their personal interests in music as well as outside the music to develop a personal agenda for them. This personal agenda consists of different basic training, exercises, and repertoire that are designed to make them a better overall musician all the while becoming more skilled at the type of genre they wish to learn. On top of that, we spend a small portion of our lesson just listening and analyzing music. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I'm very passionate about music and sharing the knowledge I know to students. I was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and started playing the drums when I was 8. I started out playing rock/pop and then slowly went into jazz. Now I am interested in playing a wide array of genres. I graduated from the Manhattan School of Music with a Bachelor's in Jazz Performance. I have traveled to many places across the world to play music: such as China, Mexico, Hawaii, and here in New York. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music
I like giving my students the right tools,lesson by lesson,enabling them to proceed through the learning process.I usually start observing what the student come up with,wether on drums or piano and then I use their natural talent or inspiration to connect to my teaching path .This way I'm able to really engage with them,keeping them on that inspiration that brought them to me.I always try to adapt my style to the student inclinations since some of them are more for instinctive learning others more for academic learning.

When will I start to see results?
Do anything long enough and you will see results but it's focus and consistency in your practice with a combination of patience that will produce results. You can see results every week with daily practice, this does not need to be an hour every day, 10 to 20 minutes and you will start to make progress!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to slow down and focus on everything you are doing. I always wanted to play faster and better but it wasn't until I slowed myself down and learned to focus on the little details that I started to hear myself better and sound better.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I actually wanted to play Saxophone but my parents could not find me a suitable teacher at the time so I picked the drums and I'm so glad I did! Rhythm came very naturally to me and I loved the look of a drum set with a band. I still love the saxophone but I can't play a single note on it but that's okay, there are so many great ones to listen too.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are asking for lessons themselves! I recommend to parents that they not push or force their child to play a particular instrument, usually the one they are interested in the most is the one they should start with. Now this does have some caveats as certain instruments like voice, woodwinds, or brass are better started after the age of 7 or 8 but there are ways to encourage them at home. Also, if a student is starting on piano but understands they can move onto their desired instrument as they get older, it will make it feel less like they are being kept from that instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key! I always recommend to my students to set a timer and allow themselves a set amount of time to devote to practicing without interruption. This could be 5, 10, 15 or minutes or more depending on how much time you want to give to practicing. After the timer goes off, allow yourself to make the choice whether to continue or pick it up the next day. This way you have given yourself the time to improve but it doesn't feel like you have lost a whole chunk of your day. With daily practice it will become a habit and start to feel fun as you see yourself making progress!
