I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class. No two people are the same and so they should not be taught the same exact way. For ex. Some students are very driven and need to learn control- to slow down and learn awareness, rhythmic sensitivity. Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More

Growing up in Las Vegas, I was steeped in my hometown's tradition of artcentric style and bustling entertainment industry. My love of practice and performance was sparked by playing viola in the public school system and city youth orchestra. When I picked up bass guitar as a teenager, I quickly became immersed into the music scene. Gigging with local heavy metal acts inspired me to begin my music education at AIMM, where I studied Music Production and Bass Performance. Read More

I have been teaching music for 8 years, starting while in college. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching students from ages 4 to 20 to sing and play instruments because if you're not having fun when you're doing music, you're not doing it right. I love getting to see my students have breakthroughs as they develop their own musical personalities. I have also enjoyed my work with school and church ensembles ranging from ages 13 to 85 and can help my students have success at any level. Read More

I encourage my students to have notebooks, recorders, and to learn basic accompaniment via keyboard or guitar. This will help them to expand on their practices at home and feel empowered to create music on their own. I like to keep track of my students accomplishments and enjoy encouraging them along their musical journey. Each student comes with their own unique abilities, talents and training and I believe it is my duty to meet my students where they are at and gradually bring them towards where they desire to be and where I also see their greatest potential.

My number one goal is to help my students accomplish their musical dreams, whether that be a classical pianist, a pop singer, the front person for a rock band, write songs or compose music for film, or just sing their favorite song of all time, whatever it takes, I will make sure that we get to the musical destination. It's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I always ask my students for one long term goal and one short term goal so that we can cast vision for where we are headed, map out the challenges along the way, but also celebrate the goals that we accomplish especially in the short term.

I started teaching guitar lessons privately when I was 16 years old and, since I tested out of my first year of Music College in Argentina, I was able to receive my first music degree at age 19. Shortly thereafter, I started teaching elementary school music and symphonic band at a private school until I was offered a scholarship to be an exchange student in the U.S., and then offered two scholarships (Tiger Scholar and LMA) to transfer to LSU (Geaux Tigers!) to finish my studies there.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
First of all, my 'normal' practice session has changed over time. It is not the same today as it was when I was 10, 15, or 20. These days, I practice a lot of difficult classical repertoire, so much of my time is spent on those pieces. I start by picking the hardest spots and working on those, then perhaps I will play through the whole piece to measure my progress and to maintain the easier parts as well. I also spend a lot of time practicing sight reading, since my professional work requires a high level of accurate reading. I will choose a different composer or genre every day for reading, which helps keep things fun and new!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
While piano is my primary instrument, I also play trumpet. I wanted to be in band in school, so when we started in 6th grade I gave trumpet a shot and liked it! I practiced both instruments nearly every day throughout middle and high school before I decided to focus more on piano in college.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music is a family activity for me, and one that constantly brings us together. In fact, my brothers and I just recorded a cover of The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" for my mother, complete with new lyrics about her and three-part vocal harmonies to boot. All five of us play and we love to talk about it and play together!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was a funny combination of gradual and also at a defining moment. I have played and practiced my whole life, and it was always my top extra-curricular activity. I always loved it and at various points tried to envision a life as a professional musician. It seemed, in many ways, like an obvious choice. However, when I went to college, I started a dual-degree program in music and my other passion, computer programming. The program was structured such that I completed my music studies first, then switched to computers. But when it came time to switch, I had already found work playing professionally and I realized that my interest in computers as a career had waned. Even knowing that a career in computer programming would be stable and lucrative, I decided to leave it behind and go full force into building a music career. And I have never looked back! It would have been easier to follow the computer path, since it is a path well-traveled. But forging my own path and being able to keep music in the foreground of my life is far more rewarding!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is my primary instrument, and I chose it for several reasons. It is one of the most versatile instruments on the planet - every dance hall, theater, school, church, and even many homes have pianos in them, and they can be used in nearly any style or ensemble. It is the instrument of composers and conductors as well because it allows them to hear a piece holistically. But most importantly, I found piano to be the most fun and challenging. I never get bored! When you find the instrument that does that for you, stick with it.
When will I start to see results?
It varies. The more frequent, consistent, and methodical your practicing is, the more quickly you will see results. Patience is a virtue! Some areas of musicianship may take longer to show results than others. Additionally, some results are harder to see than others. For example, progress in scales or a difficult passage are more obvious than progress in sightreading.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I usually don't begin lessons with young children until they can read. Learning to read music is very much like learning to read text, so having that baseline is extremely helpful. The ability to sit and follow directions for 30 minutes is also very helpful!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't just start at the beginning of a piece and struggle your way through it. To practice effectively, zoom in on the spots that give you the most trouble. It is far easier to master one or two measures at a time than to tackle the whole piece at once. And once you can play that spot correctly, repeat repeat repeat! Don't practice until you get it right; practice until you can't get it wrong.
