Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been playing, singing and performing more than 10 years. I honestly feel there is a lot for me to learn too, but also have a trustworthy experience on this, reason why I'm able to share a lot of knowledge with my students not only about music but life too since after all they are really close to each other. I currently play at the UNM top jazz big band, and in a few jazz combos within ABQ. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
The methods through which I choose to teach vary based on each student and instrument. The individual student's age and purpose for study (what they want to get out of the lessons) also plays into any chosen methodology. What I am certain of and what I am consistant in teaching all of my students is a mastery of performance fundamentals as well as at least a rudimentary understanding of music theory. Read More

Depending on the level of the student and instrument, I incorporate a mixture of theory, aural skills, technique, and repertoire. All of my piano students play Hannon exercises to build up their finger strength and dexterity as well as scales. Vocal students and guitar students likewise learn scales and exercises for the sake of technique. All students start each lesson by practicing reading rhythms at varying complexities, then creating their rhythmic patterns. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
They both correlate with each other. The piano and guitar have melody and chord function and it's relativity have made my decisions to make these as professional instruments.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Both my father and uncles played as professional musicians. To me it's genetic and always have applied the disciplines and open-mindedness along with creativity as they had.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Being a golf professional both either touring or a teaching pro. My passion for that is great but Musuic always came first. I have coached golf while teaching High School Sports.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a masters Degree in Music Education/ Performance. I have taught Music History, Theory, Creative Writing , Composition, various Ensembles. Extensive private and group teaching knowledge.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Reading violin studies on the guitar. On Piano, Playing Brandenburg Concerto number 5, also Oscar Peterson's selections.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I wrote my own Guitar book plus Mel Bay Revised, Sal Salvadore's String Studies. Sal Salvador's Chord Book, plus many options in music studios. Much of what I teach fits the needs of my students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have two recording artists and 4 band directors that currently are active. Many of my students have excelled to be Music Teachers in some capacity. Both in performance, teaching, and arranging.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved guitar and piano as my primary instruments because of my passion for listening to various artists and going to Concerts.
When will I start to see results?
Week to Week a student will see results in taking (baby steps) to accomplishment. an accelerated method and proper assessment will be monitored fully by me. Seeing results is a week to week experience.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a great guitar and piano teacher John Rook and Danny Romo on Guitar. Later in College, Guitarists, Larry Coryell and Sal Salvador was inspirational. David Barnett and John Mohegan were also inspirational. As a Band Director, Orlando Vitello
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The interest is from listening music and the desire the students have to explore and find an instrument that will be conducive to facilitate and have success. Usually a student on the instruments here could start at age 6 for me through Seniors at all levels. Just to recommend any child before the age of six should experiment with a mini xylophone which I can also teach.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Bringing my Marching Band to All City scoring number 1 in 10 bands leading the competition,. I also played in California and Felix Cavaliers band for a east coast tour. Also playing in a musical pit band for West Side Story.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always pick out a common time each day to practice. Learn with instructor to breakdown difficult passages and scales and gradually increase speed if necessary. In separate manuscript book, read and apply extra techniques written
