I'm a motivated music teacher who loves teaching and working with students who have a desire to learn more about the piano and teach vocal technique. In 2005, I earned my music degree from Cal State Los Angeles University,California. I had a opportunity to study under the great Gerald Wiggins,the renowned jazz pianist, in the Santa Monica College Music Mentor Program. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that it is very important for any singer to have a music theory background, so I make sure to include in any of my vocal lessons basic keyboard knowledge. Further, I have found that it is important to incorporate all types of music in lessons. Learning all sorts of style in music is crucial to continue growing as a performer. Finally, it is important for a student to enjoy their lessons and find passion in their own music. Read More

My music is an explorative collage of rhythm and harmony that incites emotion, creating a wild and memorable experience for listeners. I source inspiration from an array of influences, ranging from Miles Davis, to The Beatles. My musical pieces are born during a 3–4 hour session at the piano, and refined through excessive scribbling, and endless rehearsing. In the past year, I have expanded my professional development to work as an educator, and a scholar of music. Read More

For my younger to play games with them that teaches them the fundamentals of music theory while also having fun during the lesson. For my older students I like to see what gets them excited during the lesson and move forward accordingly. That can be extremely different from Student to Student but I do like to stay involved with the process and positive throughout. It doesnt necessarily matter how experience they all as my usual students get up to speed within the space of a month, if not shorter. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have 10 years of experience teaching voice. My mother is an opera singer and highly successful voice coach in Vienna, Austria and she not only was the best voice teacher I ever had, but also taught me to teach. Sharing my passion with other people has turned out to be one of the most rewarding things in my life. The joy, fun and often surprised looks on my student's faces when all of a sudden a beautiful tone comes out of their mouths, is just priceless! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Aside from Faber and Alfred, I also have Bastien method books that I have taught from during my decade of piano teaching experience. Of course, these aren't the only method books I have come to uncover. As for voice, I have a set of vocal warm up scales from major and minor scales and patterns that my own former voice teacher has provided me. I am very familiar with all the warm up techniques as well as breathing and how warming up techniques need to closely connect with the breathing. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play Rodrigoś Concierto de Aranjuez. It is a three movement piece and resonates the passion and beauty of Spanish music. It is difficult to play but beautiful.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first start off with a easy, slow piece. This helps as a warm up but also as an enjoyable start. I then proceed to right hand techniques followed by scales and arpeggios. I will play/learn 2-3 studies and the same for pieces. I choose 2-3 because it keeps each practice interesting and eliminates redundancy.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the guitar. My guitar professor from the Mozarteum called the guitar an ënsemble instrument." The classical guitar in particular demands a versatile approach that goes above and beyond strumming chords. I still remain in awe of what the guitar is able to produce for the willing student!!!!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was invited by the Estado Amazonas Govenor of Venezuela to perform for him and other dignitaries. The concert was televised and played on the radio. This was a great honor for me to showcase my talents!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like using Hal Leonard and the Christopher Parkening technique. Hal Leonard teaches a variety of styles while the Parkening technique offers great classical techniques with a fantastic practice approach and pedagogy.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging aspect of the guitar is for the student to bring out his/her passion through the guitar. This must be done utilizing all of the techniques of the guitar. The guitar will sound your passion if you let it. That is the real challenge for any instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely! My first teacher taught me folk and doo wop from the 50s. He was very patient and exuded a love for the guitar and music in general. His teaching style was spot on and his passion was very contagious!
When will I start to see results?
This is up to the student. With daily, focused practice, students can achieve advancement quickly. Also, review of content and pieces is vital.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on how interested the child is. Does the child listen to a particular instrument and inquire about the styles of music played on that instrument? Is the child agreeing to work at practicing daily or when able to?
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over quanity. One can put 5 hours of practice into 3. Being focused and realistic with time is key. Look at time management. How many hours can I realistically practice? Practicing everyday is very important even if that means 15 minutes a day!
