For beginning students I combine solfege, breathing exercises and methods that fits the student's goals. Once the students not only progress, but also tailor the path that want to follow, I will adjust every single aspect to help you get to your goals in a smart way. The most important thing is to always find ways to have fun and always avoid frustration and avoid to create bad habits that could be developed with careless instruction. Read More

Having patience is the greatest way to be successful! Whatever goal you are looking for, being patient about your progress is the most important aspect when starting out in music or pursuing a career. In a world where everything is going by so quickly, we tend to forget and appreciate some of the things happening in the background. We will set realistic goals and create mini-goals to hit those marks. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I guess my love for playing/teaching music outweighed my desire for an extra paycheck at the time, which I was making playing bars and weddings on the weekend. Despite the fact that I wasn't charging for my lessons, I noticed the "students" were coming back for a different reason. It was because they were having fun. They were learning fast because I showed them ways to enjoy the beginning stages where, let's face it, nobody's good. Read More
Instruments: Piano
One on one and individualized instruction. I also demonstrate and perform the songs to my students so that they can have an idea on how to go about playing the song. I teach by rote, demonstration and give them a step by step explanation on how to play the song or music. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
From a young age, I've been interested in music, and I would often tap around on my grandma's piano, but alas I went toward brass instruments. I started playing trumpet in middle school around the age of 11, and I've been playing trumpet for about 11 years. I played for 3 years in my high school's marching band, winning state championship's one year, and 3rd the other years. I've played in jazz bands, concert bands, and I've participated in MPA.

Instruments: Violin Viola Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The defining moment was in 5th grade after I won my first solo audition for the Koger Center; I'd been playing for less than a year. I played in front of thousands of people and there was a thrilling sensation I felt, knowing that I was able to touch the lives of so many people with sound. That's when I knew then that music would be a part of me for the rest of my life. Music heals, when words cannot.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Majority of my family members (aunts and cousins) are singers, my dad played the keyboard and organ by ear and my mother is completely tone deaf.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano after I started playing violin. It made it easier to see the intervals vs having to feel them on the violin.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Essential Elements (shows the beginning basics of the violin/viola).
Suzuki (to focus on memorization)
Carl Flesch (Scales-which improve intonation)
Kreuzer (Etudes-to focus on various techniques)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have auditioned for Region and All-State Orchestra, each one of them have successfully made it, not because of me, but because of their dedication and willingness to work hard.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation is definitely the hardest thing to master on the violin or viola. Simply because you can't see where to put your fingers (like a guitar or piano). With time and consistent practice the student will build muscle memory and intonation will no longer be an issue.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Majority of my older cousins were playing violin in their school orchestras. I went to a couple of their concerts when I was younger and I haven't looked back since.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't feel bad if you didn't achieve your goal in your current practice session. Re-evaluate the way you're practicing. Take it one measure at a time, if you need to, take it one beat at a time and repeat it for 5 mins. Play it slowly with a metronome and build it up to the performance tempo.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they're willing to focus for at least 30 minutes straight, they're ready. Typically a child is ready if they're constantly asking or obsessing over music. Don't worry about them being bored in their lessons, it's my job to make the lessons fun :)
When will I start to see results?
If the student follows the practice structure given at their first lesson, you'll see results within the first week. It's extremely important that the student practices consistently, this will show the best results.
