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

For beginners or people that are brand new to the guitar we typically break the lesson into halves. The first half is typically practicing pentatonic scales and basic finger exercises and maybe some rhythm drills before moving onto simplified versions of famous classic songs. The expectation is to play the scale at a certain tempo with a metronome, and be able to play along with the recording of whatever song we happen to be focusing on. Read More

I am very easy teacher to learn from. I understand that every student is different, and learns at his or her own pace. I will move you along as fast or slow as you like, depending on how much information you are retaining. We will be doing a lot of memorization work, and written music theory, while you develop the necessary hand strength to play the guitar properly. So, with plenty of time, patience, and above all, PRACTICE, you will be well on your way to playing your favorite songs, and TEACHING YOURSELF new songs. Read More

I use a very concise methodology in my instruction. I evaluate the students level, from there I make a step by step guide (of selected piece and etudes) to show the student their progress into the next level. I also encorperate ideas in theory, history, and ear training. Also if the student has yet to learn how to read musical notation. that will be taught along side with regular instrumental lessons.

My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Deciding to become a professional musician has been a gradual decision for me. Music has always been my greatest passion in life, but because I have far reaching interests in other subjects, it took me several years following high school to decide to pursue music teaching and music performance as my main career. Deciding to follow the thing I love most has been the best decision of my life!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I think I would still be doing some kind of art. I have always felt extremely connected to creativity and using that to connect with the world and my community!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love so many different styles of music, so it's hard to choose which is my favorite to play. One of my top choices is old-time fiddle music, because it's a very inclusive and community based style of music. Everyone learns the same fiddle tunes which have been passed on for generations, and you can sit down with a group of new friends and play a song together on the spot! Most old-time players know many of the same tunes, and this makes it a great way to generate community. Everyone plays together as a group, so I have never felt like I was "put on the spot" or nervous to play this style of music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on the violin at age 5, and soon after, decided to take piano lessons at age 7. Taking piano was a mutual idea between my parents and I, because I wanted to take an instrument that would supplement my study of the violin. Taking piano gave me a deeper understanding of chord progressions, note reading, and improved my motor skills. Later in life, I chose to pick up the guitar. I chose to start this instrument because I wanted to write songs and needed a way to back up my voice. I have found that with each additional instrument, learning becomes easier and easier. Though every instrument is different, I can transfer skills from one to the other, like finger dexterity, note reading, scales, etc.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely runs in my family! My dad plays various instruments, and I grew up inspired by his fiddle playing in a gypsy jazz band called The Gadjo Playboys. When I was 4 I said- "I want to play the violin so I can fiddle like my dad!" I also have 3 older siblings who all preceded me playing the piano, violin, and cello. As a family, we grew up attending old time music festivals where we would jam on fiddle tunes together, and today, my oldest sister Maya is a professional musician who most recently was in the band The Stray Birds. My parents love to sing songs together, and when we're all home for the holidays, we book family gigs at local venues. Music is the glue in our home!
