Instruments: Piano
For the past 30 years, I have been teaching students of all ages in my home and in their homes. I have had funny twin boys, serious adults who don't really care much for theory and teenage girls. I even was lucky enough to have as a student a young lady who was crowned Miss Colorado. When I began teaching, students always came to my home. There was a time I was teaching 50 students and had to have two separate recitals-it was great! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
My style of teaching is personal and caring. Whether my students develop a desire to pursue music beyond our lessons, I care about their happiness and personal success in life. I develop a relationship with my students and I really enjoy it when I hear that they used a concept I taught them in our music lessons for something beyond music. I at least hope to instill a strong understanding and enjoyment of music in each of my students which they can share with the people in their life. Read More

Initially, the traditional school of classical Spanish and Cuban guitar has as a methodology to begin the process of construction of future instrument teachers, where students from 2 years of career should learn the teaching method and start the search for their Own students. This is how my music teaching process begins. Time later I started to give chair of classical guitar in the conservatory of music Pedro Morales Pino, in the city of Cartago - Colombia. Read More

Instruments: Flute
My "teaching style" has evolved over the many years that I have been working with flute students. I am very relaxed. I want you to look forward to and have a good time in our lessons! In that way I know you are enjoying your music. I observe and listen to understand the complete child/young adult before me. I expect regular practice on lesson material, but I also understand the occasional week when other aspects of your life have interfered. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello
I look at a students ability to read music first to determine what kind of music they should be working on. I teach students on an individual basis in order to quickly help them improve. I expected online students to bring up information about their playing experiences so that can best accommodate them as their online private teacher. During quarantine, I was able to teach 100 students how to play an orchestra instrument and it has a lot to do with showing and explaining live during those lessons. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Take what i know from all the instruments i know at that time and tie that to the new instrument I'm trying to learn. From there you play to what the instrument is meant for and what purpose it serves in certain genres of music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Perfect Pillow by the band Chon. It's extremely difficult peice and uses all the guitar techniques that i love in Prog music. It's such a beautiful piece.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue. Maybe something with Film?
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Every genre and style of music has something i can appreciate and take from. Its too hard to find a favorite. However prog and jazz and high up on the list.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The only guarentreed book i use with my students is the Guitar Grimoire series of books. I choose these because there is a book on every topic a guitar player needs to learn to become a successful guitar player. From scales to chord to improvisation. They have it all. Every book is dense with information. Like an encyclopedia for guitar.
The only other books i use are books that i have personal experience with. I typically use these books when a student has a specific need or request that the Guitar Grimoire series can not help.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the guitar is mastering how to play the guitar.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The people who play the guitar and the music they made always looked and sounded so cool.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Not giving up half way through a difficult piece in front of an audience of people.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every single musician i have seen or talked to on earth has inspired my musicality and life as a musician in some way. Good or bad, teacher or student, you can always learn to be inspired by somebody.
When will I start to see results?
If you pay close attention to your playing and progress you will see results with in the first 10 minutes of playing an instrument. Small or big.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are willing to learn and practice what they learn then they are ready for lessons. Almost any age is the right age for anybody to learn an instrument but over the years I have noticed that around the age of 6-8 is the best time to get a child into lessons. This is where I see that they learn to have the most fun with the instrument and tend to be the most interested. Not to say that this does not exist younger or older the 6-8.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick the things that you struggle with and make a "plan of attack" on how you will practice them. For instance, If you are struggling with chord changes, soloing, and arpeggios then you should make a practice schedule that encompasses about one hour every 2 to 3 days. Spend about 10 minutes on chord changes you would like to know like a 2-5-1. Then take that chord progression and try to solo over it for 15 minutes to improve your understanding of soloing and the chord changes. Then spend the remainder of the time trying to insert arpeggios into your solos. This was you are practicing all the elements you are struggling with while combining your understanding of them individually into one practice session.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When everyone in my life started to tell me i would be an idiot if i didn't do something with my talents in music. They were right!
