Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My first experiences with teaching music were at the same time that I began to learn to play my main instrument, the guitar. This goes back to my childhood, because at that moment my teacher realized the facilities that I had not only to learn quickly but also to help my classmates who for different circumstances were not so much facilitated. From there I was always interested in learning and, whenever I could, teach also the satisfaction of being able to transmit knowledge of art as beautiful as music is absolutely comforting. Read More

I grew up overseas in several countries, exposed to several types of music, and have played guitar for over 20 years. Although my education was focused on the sciences, I did take music classes as electives while studying. I have an acoustic (with a jack) and electric guitar, as well as an Amplifier should you not have access to a guitar or amplifier. I play mostly classic rock and rhythm and blues as well as some lead guitar. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone

Music has always been at the center of my life and has given me so much. My saxophone teacher in high school was an inspiration to me and propelled me into music in college. In college I learned more and more about classical saxophone, and it became my dream to make that my living. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Commercial Music from Florida State University, then continued my education locally at Florida International University to earn my Master of Music degree in Saxophone Performance.

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 15 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 10 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical, gospel, christian, jazz and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.

It is important for students to progress at their own pace. Every student is different and some will be willing to practice for hours every day to get to where they want to be, and others are more casual and may practice less than 20 minutes a day. The important thing to know is no matter what you are doing it is okay, as long as you are having fun or you're doing what you want, or what will make you happy. Read More
