My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that every student has the potential to learn and grow, and it is my job as a teacher to help them reach their full potential. I strive to create a safe and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and exploring new ideas. I believe in using a variety of teaching strategies, such as hands-on activities, group work, and individual instruction, to engage students in meaningful learning experiences. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I've been teaching piano for 13 years, and was trained to do so by a woman who is skilled in the art of pedagogy. That was my first job, and later on I opened my own private studio. At one point I've had up to 45 students, and I've enjoyed working with all of them. I give recitals 4 times a year which helps me see progress in my students. We've tried all kinds of performances, some with themes. The last one I did was a recital with only 70's pop and rock songs. They really enjoyed that one! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like using the Faber books for children and supplement with classical pieces from Snell. For adults, I see where they are and use adult beginning books or other appropriate material depending on their interests. I usually start each student learning their major chords through the keys as soon as they are physically able, because once you learn your chords, sight reading and other playing becomes much easier. i also teach scales because if you can play your scales you can learn to play in all different keys.

I am a musician in many aspects...mainly as a music teacher in Albuquerque Public Schools, and also my job in the Army as a member of the 44th Army Band. I also teach private lessons at a local studio, and I can be found in Old Town on Wednesday and sometimes Saturday nights jamming with the Jazz musicians of this wonderful city. I have taught choir and band from the 5th grade level all the way up through high school including subjects like music theory, jazz band, treble choir, marching band, and percussion ensemble.

Instruments: Flute
I always aim to create an environment that leads students to discover their own passion for music! I provide constructive feedback which always focuses on the positive so the student learns to pay attention to what they are doing right. Setting reachable goals every lesson helps a student feel like they are in control of their own success and builds their motivation to succeed. I believe it is important that the student learn to recognize their own accomplishments so that as they are practicing, they can begin to become the best judges of their own progress and get the most out of their lessons.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my father was my teacher for the most part because we learned how to play guitar together but he already knew the basics like chords and notes.
he inspired me a lot and i can never see myself stop playing guitar.
i love it with all my heart and soul and with his help i have been able to do what i have done.
i do not think i would have stuck it out the 1st month if he didn't make it fun for me and i tank him for that.
i also took lessons from a fellow student in high school i looked up to because he was older and already in an established band.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
i chose the guitar after watching the Beatles "a hard day night" movie.
I fell in love with the looks of the bass and asked my dad for a guitar on my 12th birthday hoping i would get one like that but instead he busted out an old silvertone guitar his parents ordered out of the sears catalog for him as a kid but he never learn it until we learn together so that was wonderful!
i love playing many instruments but guitar is my main instrument by choice because i have a passion that comes out when i play it and i wouldn't trade that for the world
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My most musical accomplishment of all time would be when my old band opened up for TESTAMENT who was all of our idols and they liked our music so we got to hangout with them afterwards.
I always wanted to make a sound of my own and when i was playing a gig somewhere another musician told me if there was an award for the most unique sound i would have it hands down and i was happy because since i was about 14 or 15 i always wanted to create my own genre of music.
i am also very happy to see my students progress!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students all win awards by me but only won has went out and won actual awards for playing proficient in his band class!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
the hardest thing to master on the guitar i think is theory and sweep picking.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
i use a variety of books from Wolf Marshall which is what i started out using to the world wide web
