Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin
My first contact with music was during my early childhood, when I took piano, guitar and violin lessons. Growing up, I was always active playing with several youth orchestras and various ensembles, ranging from classical to popular and folk music. I studied piano and composition at the California State University, Sacramento, where I had the opportunity to study with world class musicians and be part of cutting edge orchestras and choirs; during my college years I went on several tours with a choir, performing in venues such as Carnegie Hall, N.Y I currently perform as pianist and accompanist with Opera singers from the area, and also compose upon comissions.

Instruments: Piano
When I was six I decided that I wanted to play the piano. Since I was very young, I always enjoyed listening to my mother play Classical Music, that was the moment when I developed my passion for playing the piano. I come from a very musical and artistic family. I am most passionate about Classical Music, and have always wanted to share my passion to others. My mother has not only been the root of my inspiration but also always been my instructor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
At the very first lesson, I try to understand how far along in training the singer has come. From the very beginning we sing so I get to understand the singers voice. Their strengths and weaknesses. I then build lessons around each singers individual vocal journey to get them to their goals which we will discuss in the first lesson as well. I am trained in a European classical format as well as Broadway foundation that can help benefit any singer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums
Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I am currently working on an BM in Guitar Performance at the University of Texas at El Paso where I have been taking lessons from Hiram Rodriguez. I first started playing guitar 10 years ago learning rock songs and things of that nature and about 6 years ago I started learning classical guitar. I have taken lessons with John Siqueiros for a short time as well as a master student from the University of Texas at El Paso Edgar Camargo and I took some jazz lessons from Mr. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching for over ten years and received private instruction myself growing up. Teaching music I'd an important part of my life. Learning music has the power to form many connections in the brain that can increase academic performance in school as well as develop a sense of expressivity. This is a concept I have kept constantly in mind throughout my teaching career. In addition to teaching, I have performed in both solo recitals and with ensembles. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing can be a real drag. I myself, have moments or days where I do not feel I want to even look at my instruments. It takes a lot of self determination, motivation, and discipline to play an instrument or sing well. To this I say, make it fun. First, you should choose a piece of music you are motivated to learn and really enjoy playing. Second, repetition is key. I use between 5-10 objects and play the same passages that I am struggling with over and over moving the objects when I play the passage correctly. It makes repetition practice like a game. Third, you should listen to someone performing the piece you want to play, then play it for your self while recording it. Listen to your recording and think about how you want to play the piece. This can be very enlightening and motivating.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any age child can start, but the parent must be willing to work with the child depending upon the age to assist their focus on the task. Obviously, the younger the child is, the more challenging it will be for them to focus for longer periods of time. Nothing is impossible with parental support. I personally prefer my students to have the ability to read. This helps them to read notes on a page, and usually by this time the child also has a little more maturity to deal with a one-on-one lesson.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the student and their interest. If a student takes what they learned in the lesson and practices at home then results will be immediate. If the student has trouble practicing at home, results my take longer to notice.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have worked with the Alfred series for piano. I find them leveled really well and they also include a bit of music theory which really develops music understanding.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I first always start with warm-ups. I believe warm-ups really are the building blocks of technique which is vital to learning piano, voice or any instrument under the sun.
Next we look at the level or etude book if we are working with piano or instruments. These songs are short and have a mini lesson/technique hidden in them. These further build the students' ability to play more difficult pieces later.
Last, I always wish that the student choose a piece of music that they are passionate about. This takes all the previous things we have worked on and uses them more authentically. They get a chance to see all their hard work on technique combined to produce something that they are truly interested in.
