My loveof music began at a young age through playing piano, percussion, and guitarand continued to grow throughout my years of schooling. I graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver in May of 2013 with my Bachelor of Music degree with a Concentration in Music Composition. I have since been spreading my knowledge of music throughoutmy local community through teaching, playing, and composition. I have released twomusic albums, one in 2011 andthe other in 2013,in which Iplayed percussion, drum set, guitar, bass guitar,keyboard, and sang while also recording, electronically programming,composing, and producing the albums myself.I have been building my studiofor over eight years and have acquired many pieces of equipment that help me teach, compose, play, and produce music.

I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar

I've been playing bass for 13yrs and guitar for about 9yrs. I started out learning to play bass in the church and took lessons from the Pastor's son for a few months. Eventually became self-taught and learned from bassists that I admired and formed my own style of playing. I went on to teach friends, family, and church folk what I know about bass and music. I have played in a few church bands as well as rock and punk bands in the Southern California area. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

Initially, the traditional school of classical Spanish and Cuban guitar has as a methodology to begin the process of construction of future instrument teachers, where students from 2 years of career should learn the teaching method and start the search for their Own students. This is how my music teaching process begins. Time later I started to give chair of classical guitar in the conservatory of music Pedro Morales Pino, in the city of Cartago - Colombia. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice equals regular practice. Take the stress off of thinking about how often you practice and create a simple practice habit complete with a trigger, action, reward, and belief. I am addicted to coffee. I will not drink a cup of coffee unless I have practiced. Every day when I wake up, I start the coffee maker, which takes about 20 minutes to brew. During that brew time, I practice string bass. Now that my practice has been made more regular, I have gotten much better, and I have been able to recognize greater rewards beyond a cup of joe. These include, feeling great, sounding great, and greater opportunities. Some days though I really, really, really, don't want to practice. On those days I have to remember WHY I decided to practice in the first place. I love helping people. I support my family, friends, and my musical peers with my consistency on the string bass. When I take days off of practice, I believe that it directly hurts them and I don't want that! So, why do you want to practice?

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child was born, your family did not give them the silent treatment until they were deemed "ready" for speech did they? Who would ever do that?? Instead they were exposed to numerous native speakers on a daily basis until they said their first word. (Mine was "light") Even now, your child receives languages lessons of the highest caliber from people all around them. Music is similar to language in that kids learn quickly at a young age. That is why singing nursery rhymes with your child was so important! (Way to go!) . Now, if your child is experiencing less opportunity to make music, or if they need extra support with expressing themselves creatively, music lessons are a fantastic option. Aside from all of the neurological benefits music provides children, it is a great way to have fun and make friends. If your child is ready for that, then they are probably ready for music lessons!

When will I start to see results?
Your instructor is responsible for guiding you to the results that you are hoping for, but if your idea of results is headlining at Red Rocks and you just learned how to tune your instrument, you may be waiting for a while. On the other hand, highlighting results like knowing how to breathe properly, can be super boring and uninspiring. Here are some results that I like to see in my own musical life : not getting lost in a song, listening to others while I play, playing for somebody sick, playing an old song for a memory patient, having fun while practicing, making a friend who plays my instrument, playing a recital, not losing focus while practicing, creating something, being comfortable with playing... Having an instructor is a great way to help you stay motivated and focus on what is really important along every step of your musical journey. Go get some results!

...is the diminished chord. Go back to your C minor chord. You should get C-Eb-G. Lower the G to a Gb and you’ll get a C diminished chord. The formula of a diminished chord is root, minor 3rd and Tritone (a Tritone is six half steps away from the root). &nbsp; &nbsp; These basic chords are the foundation of nearly every style of music you can think of. We’ve used the example of a keyboard to show you what chords are and how to build them, but chords can be played on many pitched instruments. If you’re learning basic music theory on... Read More

To start, try singing an ascending 5-note chromatic scale on any single vowel in the middle vocal range. Once the singer is able to sing the 5-note scale without hesitation, try continuing the chromaticism (half steps) up to make an 8-note scale: 5-note scale: E4 – F – F# – G – G# – G – F# – F – E (Do Ra Re Me Mi Me Re Ra Do) &nbsp; 8-note scale: E4 – F ...

Then, move up the scale by half step (for example, the next round of the exercise would start on B?) until you’ve reached your break.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
