Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I teach a predominantly Suzuki as I learned with the Suzuki method and I am trained as a Suzuki instructor. I don't completely immerse my students with the Suzuki method and while learning how to play by ear, I teach students how to read music so that they are able to compose their own music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I believe in meeting students where they are and catering lessons to their specific learning styles. Not everyone learns everything in the exact same way. While I do teach using standard, classical repertoire more often than not, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop a deep love and passion for music; hence, I often find it incredibly helpful to branch out into other genres! I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I began teaching while I was still a student at the Conservatory of Music in the 1990's I was Voice Teacher at the Intermezzo Music School in Guaynabo, PR. I taught all ages from 7 - 69. I stayed there for 7 years. I also gave private singing lessons to students at my own home in Carolina, PR. And then, I proceded to give voice lessons at different churches like the Methodist Church (where I also founded and directed the choir), Evangelical Church (where I gave voice lessons at the Biblical Institute to prospect Worship Leaders).

I take a physiological approach to singing...after all it is a physical endeavor. The voice or larynx, despite all it complexities, is just another set of muscles that can be trained to reach its fullest potential. The method I teach, “The Franco/Italian Bel Canto Method” has been taught in Europe for more than 200 years and has produced the world’s greatest classical singers. Now, having said that let me assure you that studying this method doesn’t mean you have to become a classical singer. The techniques used are designed to strengthen and improve the quality of the human voice and can be applied to any genre whether your goal is “Broadway,” “American Idol” or you simply want to improve your voice for your own personal satisfaction. The method also addresses all things associated with singing, such as breathing, posture and stage presence. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I'm a dedicated music educator that wants to help students bring out their full potential on their instrument. In 2018, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music Education. While at Baylor, I was a member of the trombone studio under Brent Phillips. I played in all the instrumental ensembles avaliable to play in as a trombonist. I also studied piano as my secondary instrument in college. Because of playing musical instruments, I have had the opportunity to play in numerous of band and orchestra concerts, marching shows, and sporting events. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My voice was my first musical instrument technically although I didn't actually start studying voice until my adult years. I began playing guitar because I had access to a guitar which initially belonged to my brother. When he switched to bass I began trying to teach myself guitar. Luckily, I loved punk rock music which I was able to play. After years of playing guitar I attended a party on the beach. I brought my guitar to jam. There were several ukulele players at the party. After trading to a ukulele I found that it was a fun and easy instrument to play. I got hooked on the ukulele and often bring a ukulele with me when I go to the beach.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Although my parents were not professional musicians both of them loved music. Both my parents were born in New Orleans and understood the value of music. My Mother played piano, but she didn't have a lot of time to play because she worked full time and had four children. However, when she did play we were always surprised by her ability. Although she was not a professional singer people always asked her to sing. She had a great voice and was never shy about singing. My father exposed us to a huge variety of music from his extensive record collection. Everything from Neville Brothers to Earth Wind and Fire.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I don't remember one particular moment when I decided I wanted to become a musician. However, I do remember having a conversation with my high school guidance counselor about my interest in the psychology of music. At that time I did not consider myself a musician but more of a music enthusiast. During my high school years I was not considered a great singer. I didn't learn to play guitar until after i graduated from high school. I just love music and over the years i have gained the knowledge and skills to be a professional musician.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
i grew up listening to a variety of musical genres such as jazz, rock, soul, funk, blues, R&B, reggae and Afro-Cuban music. I can honestly say that I do not have a favorite style to play because it changes with my mood. I really enjoy playing blues but there are other times when I feel strongly about playing reggae. I really enjoy playing classic jazz tunes by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. There are other times when I enjoy rocking out playing songs by Jimmy Hendrix or the Beatles.
I currently play in a jazz act, classic rock band, and an acoustic rock/reggae duo.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If a hadn't become a musician and music therapist I probably would have pursued a career as a mental health practitioner such as a psychotherapist, grief counselor or rehab counselor. Initially I majored in psychology when I first pursued higher education. However as I studied psychology I became more aware of how music could be used in therapy to help individuals gain insight into self. I began to read about music therapy and realized the power of music. If I had become a psychotherapist or grief counselor I would have used music as a therapeutic tool.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Although difficult to narrow down to one piece, at this time one song pops into mind.
"Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. When I sing this song I feel like I am the strongest, most powerful woman in the world. I am empowered by the reality that I can make a positive impact on the world by using my voice and guitar. I am reminded of the spiritual beauty of nature and being part of nature. I am a song writer and feel strongly about performing my original songs. However when I sing "Feeling Good" I express myself so thoroughly that I feel like I wrote the song myself.
