Instruments: Piano Voice
I create a custom lesson plan for each student, as every voice is different, and everyone comes with a different set of goals in mind. Every student can expect to be asked what their goals are, whether they are just to have fun and sing, work towards competing in local competitions, or to audition for a choir or show, and lessons and repetoire will be based on those goals. Every student can also expect to do do basic vocal exercises at every lesson to warm up their voice, and to more effectively teach technique and gauge progress. Read More

Each student interested in expanding their knowledge and abilities in voice, piano/keyboard or guitar will be introduced to reading music and asked to practice the lesson plan each week at home. With practice, you will see your abilities grow stronger and stronger, and you will be able to play and sing along to music with ease. We will be working from lesson books specifically designed for you, and each weekly lesson will be documented in a notebook as a daily practice reference guide. 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!
