Music Lessons San Mateo County, CA

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Music, Keyboard

My teaching centers on preparing students for successful musical performance. I do this by providing easily doable practice techniques and exercises that will advance their ability to perform the songs and pieces they are keen to learn and are practicing, as students are more likely to continue with music if they are having fun at it. Very often, notation for pop songs doesn't convey the actual recorded song, and many songs have never been notated. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Music, Electric Guitar

My teaching experience began when I was working on my Associate of Arts in music production and sound technology. Having been trained in music theory and classical guitar from the University of Chile for three years, by the time I started college, I was able to help many students. I mostly gave guitar and singing lessons, but also did tutoring in music theory. I have been teaching music ever since. Read More

My teaching philosophy is to always continue moving forward. Let's stay focused and do the best we can, but never dwell on one thing for too long! Success comes from a variety of avenues, notably discipline (scheduling your time) and passion (enjoying the process of learning!). Learning and performing music is inherently difficult, but I am here to help guide you so that the process is fun and manageable! As Bruce Lee once said, "It takes a lifetime to know one's self", so let's work hard to discover what we are capable of and enjoy the journey! Read More

Instruments: Voice, Music

When I work on songs with them, I help them improve their vocal technique by using any methods that they will understand for their own bodies. Because we can't simply touch and manipulate our vocal cords to make sound, my job is to help my students visualize how their body moves and feels when they make a healthy, beautiful sound. One of my favorite parts of the lesson process is when the songs are completely memorized and we can work on the emotional side of them. Read More

I have had classical training as well as jazz style training. I love both styles. In addition to teaching and playing piano, I also sing and teach voice classes. I actively sing on my Church worship Team. I also have weekly students that I teach piano to and do vocal coaching for. I am married and have 3 adult children and 6 amazing grandchildren. I love to hike, or hang out with my family in my spare time. Read More
