Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a dedicated and passionate musician who loves spreading the knowledge of music to students of all ages. I have been playing guitar for twelve years and got my bachelors degree in music at Dominican University of California. Over these years, I have studied various styles of music such as rock, metal, prog, jazz, blues, and classical. I have harnessed numerous techniques and concepts over the years that I hope to share with all of my students. Read More

For voice, I will typically start with technique and breath. The first lesson is heavy in feeling the anatomy of the body to cultivate a coordinated breath for the most optimal and healthy singing. From there, we move into warm-ups, and will adjust vowels to find resonant spaces. Generally, with the voice, after the initial work with anatomy there is an improvisatory style of teaching that I develop, catered to the individual. Read More

I have worked for many years teaching, counseling and assisting students with their love and joy of music. During my teaching career I have also helped students with conflict resolution, coping skills, issues with and surrounding pride and culture, college selection, application processes, financing and preparation for college. I have taught a very diverse group of students, which has allowed me to learn various approaches to communicating and working with students from all walks of life. Read More

All of my lessons are built around songs to teach technique and I add materials to teach theory and musicianship if the student wants and needs it. I always interview each student to find out their interests and desires and and build a custom curriculum eight lessons at a time to insure satisfaction and success on the students terms. I have student assessments at the end of each eight lessons block to make sure that the student knows how they have improved and where they need more work. Read More

I've been teaching private lessons in music since I was in high school and have always enjoyed sharing and mentoring younger students and professionals whenever my guidance or council has been sought. I've crossed pollinated my teaching methods over the years with my experiences working in a variety of environments from Universities, Opera Houses, Concert Venues, Theatres, and dojos. I like to emphasize the consistency of practice and finding the enjoyment in each session of practice and play. Read More
Instruments: Voice
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Please understand that, for seriously practicing voice, there is a minimum age, typically. Too many parents push their very young child to get lessons early, so they can get a head start. However, a child below the age of twelve has a developing instrument, and the strain of seriously practicing professional vocal technique can cause harm, ESPECIALLY if this is a child trying imitate the low belting of pop singers or the big tone of opera singers.
That being said, on more than one occasion, I have provided voice lessons to very young singers, who have been gifted with powerful voices. But the reason was to save their instruments before they hurt themselves. I taught them how to sing beautiful music like a child, waiting for their instrument to mature, while also teaching them how to read music and understand more complicated musical techniques. So these students are "ahead" where it counts.
Serious vocal technique can begin after the voice change. This can happen as early as ten for girls, and as late as fourteen for boys. If you feel that your child has achieved their voice change, I can quickly assess that through a preliminary lesson.
Please be safe. Your child's voice is a delicate instrument and it can be harmed.
When will I start to see results?
There are no shortcuts if you truly wish to learn how to master the voice. It took me six years of study before I was able to perform at a semi-professional level, starting at the age of fifteen. It takes time for you to train the muscles in your body to react the way you want to on an instinctive level.
That being said, the effects of true vocal technique will start to improve your singing extremely quickly. Within the first two months, you will feel a difference in your posture, confidence, lung capacity, tone, volume, and agility. Students are encouraged to sing during the learning process. It is through repetition and practice that the muscles in our body learn how to act when we sing.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
There are books that exist for voice, though you won't find nearly as many, and they don't agree. This is because the human voice is the only natural instrument, and it isn't mechanical. You have to learn how to make your body do what you want it to do through trial and error, with a teacher who can hear what's happening on the inside.
Most of the materials I will use in our lessons will come from my own collection, which have been tried and true for decades, in not centuries. I have resources for learning how to read music, learning how to hear music, learning how to sing music in multiple languages, and learning how to maximize your range.
Depending on your needs, I may ask you to purchase some books. One of the best books for beginning students with a serious passion for professional singing is: Practical Method of Italian Singing - Vaccai.
