I love seeing students develop a deep and lasting passion for the guitar! I want every student to feel at ease and comfortable while learning and help them set goals that push them to achieve whatever they set out to, while eager to learn more. My hope is to provide lessons in a clear and easy-to-follow to manner, so they can not only make progress in the lesson itself, but carry forward what they learn into their day-to-day practicing outside of the lessons and utilize the techniques effectively toward their progress on the guitar.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
In teaching my students, I prefer to teach them to "play by ear", because when they learn chords and songs, they are usually able to play a snog by memory after hearing it a time or two. I not only show them the chords, fret board, how to hold the guitar properly, how to tune the guitar; etc. but, I also issue them handouts of guitar chord illustrations, fret board charts, and chord changes with words to songs for them to practice on between lessons.

I am 23 and have been working in music since I was 11 when I started to learn mixing and DJ techniques through the internet. I did this until I was 13 and picked up guitar through my middle school's Mariachi program. I have been playing guitar now for 10 years and have played multiple genres from mariachi, punk, metal, indie, alternative, and I now record and produce music for my bands as well as others.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. As I previously mentioned, I've had several students go on to become music majors at college. Some making a living at music. And some winning their school's talent contest. I really enjoy my students playing a piece they have written. I encourage composition and teach how to compose, when the student is ready.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Correct fingering is quite important on piano, guitar and bass guitar. On piano, playing two different parts can be challenging. Reading two different clefs can be confusing and difficult to some students. Guitar and bass guitar are initially, painful to play. Hand muscles need to be trained and strengthened. Callouses need to develop.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very progressive but I teach to the individual student. All students, and people, are unique, and I customize my lessons to fit the students wants and needs and personality. Other considerations are the students time, and what their goals are with music. Cookie cutter methods don't work for me at all. I've taught several students with Autism, Asperger's, and various learning disabilities, with great success.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I teach my students to 1. Practice shortly after the lesson, so the student remembers the lesson. 2. If they have a problem with a measure or section, to stop, analyze, and fix the part. Break it in to small pieces, and figure it out, and once it is correct, play it over and over to get it in your muscle memory. 3. Just playing through a song, skipping over the mistakes, is NOT practicing or learning.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been fortunate enough to have toured the world, several times, with performers of all levels of success and popularity. I have worked, in the recording studio , doing countless recordings, with all types of artists. I've written, produced, and recorded commercial spots, for several large advertising agencies, through the years. I love performing and entertaining people. I also love teaching music. There is nothing like music. I feel that, us older, experienced players, have a duty to pass the torch.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was quite young, I would see an organ or piano, and they always fascinated me. I loved the sound and the fact that the instrument can act like an entire orchestra. I picked up guitar, in college, and then bass. Understanding keyboard and piano, which is music theory laid out in front of you, I was able to teach myself both guitar and bass.
