I love to see my students reach musical maturity. Therefore, even, a beginner will sound musical after just a few lessons. I always remind them to push forward to higher levels. I always advise them that practise is the key and the more they practice the faster they advance. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

I use methods from the Berkeley School of Music and years of studying with private teachers. I will begin with the essentials of learning guitar, learn how to sit and hold the guitar, tune the guitar and play your first melodies! Learn how to read guitar tablature. learning to play single notes, beginner guitar chords, 4 essential strumming patterns, changing chords etc. After the basics are mastered we will move through playing lead guitar to improvising with C-A-G-E-D theory and playing advanced lead guitar licks.

My methods vary from student to student. I realize that some people learn in different ways and I do my best to accommodate my students. I'm a very pattern oriented person so if you prefer diagrams and visuals, I can definitely help you learn. I also have many different tricks and techniques to make something so complex seem much more simple. If need be, I will make personal Word documents for my students that I can email to them so my students have material study and work on even outside of the lesson. Read More

I have a variety of methods that I use to teach students. I have used many Hal Leonard's band and guitar books, I use a wide variety of materials so that the students can achieve their goals. There is always new material coming out and I will also write my own technical exercises if the student needs them. Beginning Classical Guitar by Hal Leonard is a specific example of one of the method books that I use for the Classical Method.I incorporate these methods on what the student wants to achieve.

No two students are alike. Because of this fact, no two learning plans are equal. While the easy answer is, "We'll begin with the fundamentals," the more puzzling question and answer is, "How can I apply fundamentals in a meaningful way to the student to ensure that they stay engaged, interested, and focused?" Some students perform well while having the book thrown at them; others do not. My method for beginning students is to pierce the veil of HOW they learn before moving on to which fundamentals to apply, and how to apply them. Read More

Venezuelan Musicians graduated in the University Institute of Musical Studies, in Caracas. I have done for more than 25 years studying music becoming this in my own lifestyle. In Music Teaching, I designed a learning system that has been for over 20 years, where my students ( children, youth and adults ) will learn as you go making music, faster and solid bases in understanding and implementation of the instrument. Currently I am dedicated to Christian Music and Worship, and Musical education in several instrument. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build it into a routine or schedule. (For example, always practice for the first thirty minutes following supper). Set a timer, don't look at the clock, and read the notes left by the teacher. I always give students a list of what I'm expecting them to practice, and part of the lesson is that I teach them how to practice what I've assigned.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Definitely a history teacher! History is my second love, and actually studying it is not that much different than studying musical styles. Both music and art reflect history almost more than a written record does! The world is full of rich cultures that I love to study, especially through music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is usually one of two reasons a student begins lessons, and each have a different answer.
First, a child wants to learn. Sometimes kids say they really want to learn an instrument, but don't understand the effort and diligence that it takes. While music is a gateway to train a child in effort, diligence, patience, and self-discipline, it's helpful if you notice these qualities in your child in every day instances before they begin. If a child has proven that he is willing to put work in for other things, chances are if he's wanting to learn an instrument, he'll put in the work in that area as well. Also, long-term interest is more likely to result in long-term commitment. How long have they been asking for lessons? A couple of weeks, a couple of months, or on and off for years? These answers can help determine how ready your child is.
Second, a parent is looking to expose their child to music education. In this case, it's likely that the initial desire to play the instrument is not had by the child, although they quite possibly are open to learning and often do eventually enjoy it. Because a main ingredient of success is motivation, the same qualities from the first reason above can be good indicators that your child is ready to add this commitment to their life. However, if your child has yet to learn diligence and self-control, especially while sitting for long periods of time (such as the length of a lesson or practice session), I would suggest that you introduce them to this quality first before putting them in lessons. A child that has to learn to sit still at a piano bench, in addition to all the skills the teacher is trying to introduce, is more distracted, and therefore will stay at a beginner's level longer to compensate.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, the instrument, and what you consider to be "results". If you consider a short melody played on the piano to be a result, the student will begin to learn these little "songs" by the second week of lessons. For violin students, you may not hear melodies that resemble recognizable songs for several weeks, although many notes and exercises are learned weekly.
