My Experience goes back to my early and young age. I started to take lessons with a private instructor called Manolo Parra, a wonderful flamenco and classical guitarist. After 3 years of taking classes with him I started to teach guitar and work as his teaching aid. At the same time I participated and helped in church choirs as member and choir director making arrangements for original compositions and others. Today I'm still composing, arranging and directing a musical group. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

At the very first lesson, I try to understand how far along in training the singer has come. From the very beginning we sing so I get to understand the singers voice. Their strengths and weaknesses.

I am trained in a European classical format as well as Broadway foundation that can help benefit any singer. Read More

My teaching style is very different depending on what works for each student so they can learn quick and easy and still make it fun for them.

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More
