Instruments: Piano
I began teaching in college and was a graduate assistant at the University of Oklahoma. I taught private lessons in my professor's home studio, group lessons for undergraduate courses, and private lessons in our pedagogy teaching lab at OU. I've also taught private piano lessons at North Central College, Naperville, IL, Harper Community College in IL and Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. Throughout the years I've held positions in the Cary-Apex Piano Teachers Association and the Raleigh Piano Teachers Association. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion
In college have had the opportunity to work as a music instructor to a studio with over 20 students on a weekly basis. The students ranged in age from 5 to 70. This gave me a good perspective on how to directly connect with each student to ensure that we are exploring the best concept of learning for the individual. Drum set lessons are always more groove oriented first and I do encourage becoming comfortable learning from an aural perspective before tackling reading music and understanding theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Every student is a snowflake, meaning everyone has their own unique preferences and dislikes. I customize my teaching style depending on the student and allow them to progress at their own pace. I like to first introduce students to basics and learn their tastes so I can modify their teaching regimen. I assign students "homework" or practice songs each week to ensure they are maintaining their routine, and if they deviate from this for some reason for more than two weeks, I immediately tune my teaching style to best motivate my students to want to practice.

I began giving guitar lessons to students six years ago. I have a lot of patience and go a long way to make sure my students are learning as well as having fun! I have been told I am very encouraging and kind. I'm looking for students of all ages and skill level! I have developed many different strategies that allow me to teach a diverse range personalities and music styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I believe my role as a teacher is to help students improve their musical abilities in a holistic manner. This means in addition to talking about technique, we will discuss theory and history related to the instrument and repertoire (depending on level of the student) as well as healthy and productive practice habits. I will help students to set realistic weekly goals so each student is improving consistently and feeling satisfied with his/her accomplishments each week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I believe the best teaching method is one that focuses on the accomplishments of each student. I have several different rewards systems that I will use to motivate students to practice at home. Part of this system is encouraging my students to set their own realistic goals and walking them through how to reach them. Additionally, I am a big believer in affirmation and will do my best to encourage each student throughout the lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin
Drawing upon my education and experiences as both performer and teacher, I strive to relate my musical background to my students' learning experiences and progress. As each student comes with his or her individual musical wants and interests, student lessons are designed to meet these needs of a particular student. I have young students of ages 5 to 14 as well as students of upper ages. According to a student's level of musicianship (beginner, advanced or in between), students are taught how to read music, music theory in relation to their progress, chords, scales and how to write/compose their own songs.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I created a children's choir with 300 singers of different ages in 5 months in a public school for a Christmas concert with the Orchestra. We did not have any musical rehearsal with the orchestra and the choir together but the concert was perfect.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was by accident. My uncle had a drum in his house. It was a birthday present because he wanted to learn how to play that instrument but he never did. As a result, he kept the drum as a memory of his wish to decorate the house. I used to visit him and play his instrument just for fun. Eventually, my anxiety as a teenager decreased and I could stay focused easily. It was the moment when I decided to focus in the drum as my main Instrument. 6 years later, I started my proper preparation as a drummer
When will I start to see results?
It is different for each student. You can see little results in one month if you study intensely but typically it can be noticed after 3 or 4 month.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, he was the principal of the elementary school where I was studying in. He applied the Mozart effect with the students of that school by inserting baroque and classical music during the activities. Personally, I improved my concentration and my passion for learning new things grew. Eventually, I started listening this music at home, as a result, I became in a music lover and joined the choir of the school. Then, one day when I was in high school I discovered he was a singer and a choir conductor with no proper training. His passion conducting Inspired me to study music properly.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
You have to watch and listen what you are doing. More than just practicing, make sure that you are using a proper technique when you are playing. A minimum of one hour of practice everyday is fundamental to success.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It is important to start the soon as possible. The younger you start, the better you will be. However, the "recommendable" age to start is 4-5 years old because their automotive capabilities are sufficiently developed with their understanding to star in the music world. The child can start before this age if he/she shows a complete mastery of the language, otherwise, the classes will be just training or preparation to the real music classes.
