Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
With more advanced students, furthering a students development and introducing more challenging concepts is what I focus on teaching. With drumming, I like to incorporate concepts such as polyrhythms, an understanding of different genres, improvisation, and ear training. For students that are preparing to pursue a degree in music, I can help them prepare for an audition because of my experience of being a college music student in the past. Read More

I first began teaching at the age of sixteen. I was hired to work at Berkshire Summer Music, a music camp for talented young children. I worked as a violin and viola instructor, teaching children of all ages, assisting with their technique and helped develop good practicing habits. Since then, I have worked at a variety of music camps, where I have taught bass, guitar, songwriting, and led a variety of ensembles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Lute Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have taught dozens students from over 20 countries about songwriting, guitar playing, singing, lyric writing, piano, ukulele and more. Since 2011 I have played in over 1000 stages, starting in my hometown of Corrientes, Argentina, at first playing on the streets for tips and later moving onto bars, later theaters, and now touring full time. Teaching has always been something I have gravitated towards, specially after several requests from my listeners. I have ample examples of frustrated or disillusioned kids and adults that left my classes with their heads held high, because they finally felt they were moving another more step towards their musical goals.

Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

Teaching has always been apart of my career whether on the bandstand, the studio or in the classroom. When i graduated from Grambling State in 2013, i was hired as band director at MLK Jr High School in Ouachita Parish as well as two feeder elementary schools. I've learned that relating to the kids own musical experiences will help me expose them to detailed principles that they experience every time they listen to their favorite songs or watching their favorite movies.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music Keyboard
In the first lesson beginner students get an overview of the piano, learn their first warmups, get an idea of what they should do outside of our lessons to see the most progress, and discuss their goals as a musician and pianist/clarinetist. I mostly teach from Alfred's Basic Piano Library All-In-One Book series for students of all ages and supplement with other materials as needed. I usually am willing to work with any books students already have as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I always try to get information about each students favorite kind of music. Music lessons are for learning but for also getting inspired. Each student is different and I always keep that in mind. I always teach at a pace comfortable to the student. My goal for my students to learn at least one new thing every lesson. I also make sure to give my students time to ask questions. Read More

When will I start to see results?
The more consistently you practice, the quicker the results will be. But the key is to have patience! It will take time. Anything good takes time and is worth waiting for. The beauty of music is that there is always more to learn and even when you get to the skill level of a professional musician or a college graduate of music school, you will still want more results. So enjoy the process! But as I said before, 5 minutes of focused practice a day will go miles farther than an hour or two here and another hour later in the week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child can talk or walk, they can play an instrument! It is never to early to start learning. Some of the best musicians in the world started playing music around the time they started talking. If anything, just put an instrument in their hands and let them get used to the feel of it, or let them enjoy making the sounds of it. In one of my favorite books on music education, Effortless Mastery, Kenny Werner often talks of letting go of the need to sound good and going back to the state of mind of a child first playing an instrument. I think that could be the most valuable time in learning music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, enjoy it. It should not be a chore. If it is, find a way to make it fun (ex. practice to fun backing tracks instead of a click metronome).
Second, 5 minutes a day of focused practice is better than 2 hours of unfocused frustrated practice. Set a 5 minute goal each day, and when the timer goes off, if you're still enjoying it, keep practicing. If not, put it away until tomorrow!
Third, don't move on until you have the material you are working on truly mastered. Trust me, you will enjoy playing it much more once you have mastered it!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Right now I try to put in at least 20-30 minutes a day doing warmups on the upright bass, and often that's all I do! My warmups generally include playing slow scales bowed with a tuner or a drone and some metronome practice (walking a fast bass line with the metronome only on beat 4, or a really slow bass line and trying to keep the time on my own). I also spend a lot of time gigging and going to jam sessions, which I consider practice as well. If I have extra solo practice time, I generally spend it learning new tunes (there are ALWAYS more to learn!) or transcribing bass lines or solos.
