My teaching method varies depending on their age. From 4 years to 8 years i use an advance learning method, which consists of developing reading and playing based on color coding music notes. For people 9 and up the method i use is the traditional method from the Cuban and Spaniard school. This consists of developing the three characteristics of a musician. The first characteristic called Theory consists of the learning everything concerning music theory and the instrument. Read More

I have been teaching in and out of the classroom for the last five years. I am currently employed as a Substitute Teacher with Brevard Public Schools. As a music education student, I have regularly taught lessons, coached small ensembles, and led full-class rehearsals for years. I have also been hired to work as a marching band staff member for Sebastian River High School, Eau Gallie High School, and Vero Beach High School. Read More

In college I began as the Music Departments tutor, and after graduating started teaching private lessons which I have continued for 4 years. In my experience both as a teacher and as a student I have learned that people progress through lessons much quicker if they are having fun. My first guitar teacher never made me feel like I was "practicing," as much as learning new songs I loved and discovering bands I had never heard. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I began teaching guitar lessons while in college. I taught to friends and family of friends who were interested in learning music, but too nervous to reach out to a teacher that they were not comfortable with. This experience really allowed me to hone my ability to teach students who had an interest in music, but lacked the experience level and confidence to step out of their comfort zone. This was a huge breakthrough for me, I really enjoyed the feeling of helping these people achieve their goals that may have otherwise been unrealized. Read More

I had my first student when I was in middle school (around 1993). Jumping forward a few years later, I started teaching again around 1998 while attending Bekrlee College of Music. At that time I was only teaching partime but quickly escalated to fulltime once I graduated in 2001. At my peak, I was teaching between 40-45 students weekly. I currently have 30 students of all ages and levels. I cover several styles depending on the students interests. Read More

Instruments: Drums

Really, it just depends on what works. I will model each teaching style around each student. I am not a fascist when it comes to learning every single note of a drum fill or playing something exactly the same as someone else. Every professional drummer I have ever seen has learned to internalize and approximate the feeling of a decade of drumming, a style of drumming, or the attitude of a style of music. Read More

I started teaching in 2008 when I started college. I started couple of young students who were very beginners which was very fun! I love how creative young kids are. I learned a lot from my students. I also taught in music academy for a long time and it was totally different experience than private students teaching. I learned a lot about how to manage/teach many students in short amount of time.
