My teaching style begins with my assessment of each student's abilities, physical, mental, and emotional. By this method I am able to design a realistic program for each student. Patience and encouragement go hand in hand, acknowledging their accomplishments all along the way. Once some fundamentals are established, I add pieces that the student has an interest in learning. In preparing for recitals I often accompany students which adds not only enjoyment for them but encouragement for them to overcome hesitancy to perform publicly. Read More

I'm a professional guitarist with over ten years of experience teaching music to students of all ages. My goal is always to help my students to bring out the music within them in a fun way. I like to focus in very small theoretical and very big practical components to get the most out of every single bit of information delivered. My experience as a performing musician is very vast and covers a very wide range of styles, such as Blues, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Latin, Brazilian, Country, Funk and Fusion. Read More

Lessons need to be fun but at the same time the student needs to feel like they're making real progress. What I do is slow down whatever we're working on to a manageable pace for the student then slowly speed things up in a way that is comfortable for the student while at the same time providing new challenges and goals for the student to work toward. If the student is willing I also give the student the opportunity to perform live in front of their friends and family in real shows at real venues around town. Read More

My favorite memories as a child were of my Mother cooking and singing along to every spanish song that came on the radio. Growing up, I would imitate voices from diffrent cultures from cuban music, mexican and other spanish styles. After introducing myself to a guitar, I realized I was also teaching others how to speak a diffrent language through music. Recently I have become a father, and my love for teaching has never been stronger. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I had an older cousin that I looked up to who played and had an extra one for me to borrow at age eleven. Originally, my school was not offering saxophone to 6th grade students but my mother insisted that I play and somehow convinced the band director to allow it. I also remember listening to an album of my dads with some very different saxophone sounds. One was jazz and the other, funk. This made me really consider the versatility of the horn and how I could use it to express my voice in a unique manner.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of the blue ribbons I was awarded in solo and ensemble during grade school. I performed solo pieces with piano accompaniment and in saxophone quartets with my friends. During senior year of college, I received a few thousand dollars worth of scholarship money for university. During my sophomore year of college, I was awarded a scholarship in honor of my professor of saxophone who had been retiring after 39 years of teaching. Another accomplishment I'm proud of is passing the rigorous audition process for working on a cruise line.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students have won blue ribbons in competition and been honored first chair for their instrument category. I've helped kids achieve passing grades for playing tests and succeed in chair tests. I've taught a couple of students the techniques of college audition preparation, which I'm very proud of. One of my girls even went on a scholarship to the University I attended. I haven't yet had the opportunity to teach a kid long enough for them to move from middle school to high school but I'm hoping the day in near!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is altissimo because in order to master that, you first need to master the overtone series. The overtone series consists of "hidden" high notes within the low register of the horn. You can exploit these notes by overblowing on your mouthpiece, tightening your jaw and opening your throat wide as if you were yawning. This is the most difficult exercise for your embouchure but it can really strengthen those muscles and take your playing to the next level.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard has amazing transcription books that are very useful for sight reading for beginners. They also produce a great deal of beginner books with CD play alongs that make it easier for a new student to pick things up faster. One good one for the intermediate player would be the Ferling etudes for woodwinds. These are excellent scalar pieces written for oboe that make great exercises no matter what instrument you play. There is great content in all professional publishing companies so there's really no bad choice!
