Instruments: Piano Violin
Most students were sometimes getting good but sometimes they have a hard time playing with difficult notes that I teach. Some students were getting good on the beginning methods and understanding what the music book is going to read and learn about. I encourage the students to practice the beginning methods seriously for about 30 minutes. If the student is getting a little hard, she can take a break for 10 minutes and go back to the homework.

Instruments: Piano Violin
Each student is different. At first I try to see what's their passion, how much farther they want to learn, what style would they prefer, and more things about their preferences. For the beginners it's very important to learn step by step. But at the same time I always find out a unique way to entertain by performing a peace for them, and/or play along with them or play an accompaniment for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I love to teach cause I loved the teachers I had. What they played, what they taught me and what they said. And that's my approach. Music is not just notes. Music is an experience, a fun one. Technique, styles, reading, rudiments, playing with the click, tempo exercises, coordination,...All ages and specific inquires are welcome! My goal is you to have good times playing! Both piano and drums students I offer the possibility of playing along with the student to make it a lot of fun and richer! Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I am very familiar with all of the standard piano methods, and will evaluate the student in the first few lessons to choose a method that they will be the most comfortable with. I supplement all lessons with music theory and outside repertoire, allowing the students to choose from their favorite genres/artists. For theatre, musical theatre, and vocal coaching, I also employ Linklater and Alexander techniques. I also really enjoy exposing students to styles, genres or artists that they might not be familiar with along with the history behind the music they're learning! 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!
