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.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching method begins with fundamentals. First, I teach about the piano itself. Second, I teach the notes. Third, I teach tones and steps. Fourth, I teach about major and minor scales. After I lay that foundation for the student I continue with theory and note identification. The student is ready to take off from there. I usually at this point let them select a song to play as well as I assign music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Keyboard
I use Suziki Violin Method, Bastian for piano. I have also been developing my own method, and it's dependant in the students agenda. I encourage the building of reperatore early on. I have also used Liytle Einstein piano method and varies products produced by Hal Leonard. I find the students goals are very formative to the approach I choose to take. Sole students are doing the study for sheer personal enjoyment others are more serious and want to make a career out kf mus8c as they mature. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music
I have been teaching clarinet and piano since 2019. For each student, I focus on developing healthy practice habits (physically mentally) that allow them to be efficient and rewarded by their time spent with the instrument. I help students build a strong foundation of fundamentals so they are able to be successful working on more advanced literature. I'm always excited to help students at any level explore music as a means of learning about and expressing themselves, while gaining and improving upon this new skill. 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 Trumpet
I understand how hard it is to learn a new instrument. Music is just like a language - because it is one! My approach to learning music is, like learning a new language, immersion in the basics and linking concepts from playing to listening. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I am willing to take great lengths in making sure the student is enjoying the experience as well as learning the importance of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion Music Keyboard
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.
