Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

My career spanned working with Wesley Stromberg (AGT winner), and Paxton Ingram (The Voice Top 10), MacKenzie Bourg (American Idol), and Andrew Foy (100+ MM on YouTube). I served as the lead project manager at Gramophone Media in Manhattan, where during my time Gramophone signed K-pop acts BTS, Tiffany Young, and Monsta X. I have taught musicians of all levels for nearly a decade, and have helped clients win auditions, gain millions of streams, and find joy in music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a student cultivate a genuine love for music. Hence, I prioritize enabling every student to advance according to their individual pace. I foster this by establishing achievable objectives during each lesson, recognizing their achievements to ignite their motivation to excel and further their learning enthusiasm. By identifying their sources of inspiration, I adeptly customize my instruction to cater to their preferences and necessities. I believe that every student possesses infinite potential, and I aspire to nurture their individual talents. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I teach music to students who want to learn music. I can teach different styles of music, includingclassical and popular. Sight reading and ear training are very important elements that I also teach. However, if students only wish to learn one type of music, I willhonor their preference. My training includes a BA degree in Music, and a MA degree in Administration. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar
For my students, I like to see what type of music they are interested in and listen to a few of their favorite songs. From there we can learn chords (guitar, piano) and melodies for vocal lines. We could go the route of learning scales and theory, but since I didn't grow up learning that way, I'd prefer to go the more modern way by learning strumming patterns, chords, inversions, melodies and harmonies, and teach dynamics to make a song come together.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am a driven and passionate educator with a background in youth arts mentorship for voice, piano, and dance. I position my work as an arts professional to motivate students through pursuit of excellence, to transfer practical skills, and to achieve lasting impact. I graduated from New York University in 2020 with a BA in Music, and a minor in French Language Studies. I have had the opportunity to provide musical and artistic direction for groups and soloists at the high school and college level, with the Anaheim Union High School District and NYU. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For students with previous piano experience, I first assess knowledge and ability in order to assign the proper level of either Bastien's Piano Basics or other solo repertoire. For voice students, I conduct an assessment of their individual range and skills in order to find classical or musical theatre repertoire that encourages development of proper vocal technique. I also work with each student to find modern music that they love and will help target their specific singing goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Mandolin Keyboard
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There are too many to list:
For solo classical repertoire: I love The French: Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Milhaud. I tend to favor impressionists too like Cyril Scott and have recorded a great amount of repertoire all ready.
For concerti I haven't yet performed: I would love to play the Leroy Anderson Concerto in C, The Leith Steven's Night Song Concerto, John Ireland's Piano Concerto and more Mozart.
For musical theatre: I love all the standard repertoire and love to perform them all
I also love to record my own original piano works.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have great background in art as well and film history.
I have taught film noir, Pre-Code and MGM cinema courses which I love. I'm a huge classic movie buff.
I love visual art and have background in sketching and coloring.
I love yoga and veganism and have written already 2 books on vegan cooking.
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and love working with clients in regressive sessions and teaching seminars.
I enjoy metaphysical studies and have background as a psychic/tarot reader and astrologer and find this fascinating.
I'm a computer web designer and I also design websites for my clients.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz Piano: 1950s LA cool Jazz standards, 1930s stride, ragtime, coastal smooth jazz bossa nova, and romantic Liberace-esque piano
Classical Piano: MOZART, and the Impressionists and French Composers
Harpsichord: Scarlatti, French Baroque, and 20th century works such as the concerti by De Falla and Poulenc.
Voice: Great American Songbook Standards, Mozart and Operatic REpertoire
Violin: Celtic fiddle
My expertise is vast and would take to long to cover here. I love all music with maybe the exception of Heavy Metal rock and rap.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I come from a musical family and thus it was required to be versatile. As a child I studied piano, harpsichord, electric keyboard/synthesizer, organ, violin, viola, mandolin, as well as ballroom dancing, ballet, acting and musical theatre and operatic voice.
My main love is piano and voice but I'm also passionate about harpsichord though I don't currently own one. I enjoy fiddle as well. I would love to learn classical harp someday if time and money permits.
I believe that most musicians eventually study many areas of the arts.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I come from a long famous line of musicians.
My great great maternal grandfather Canuto Berea Rodriguez was a famous Galician Spanish composer who wrote symphonies, operas, piano music and song cycles. He was also the mayor of La Caruna, Spain, and owned a family music publishing house.
My mother is a noted opera singer from New York and my dad a country western performer. I have 5 siblings that are all musical and many nieces and nephews that are all prodigies in the arts.
My nephew Matthew is a concert pianist who has already played Chopin and Beethoven standards by age 10 and is working on Rhapsody in Blue.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew since I was 3 I would always make a career in the arts. I prefer however to be self employed. I like to teach with my own methods I know work and set my own hours and decide whom I work on.
I didn't like teaching college/university due to the strict regulations, red tape of the California School systems, budgets cuts etc. In fact I worked 60 hour weeks and was stressed and exhausted. Ironically owning my own business I make the same salary for 20 hours a week and have a lot of free time to concertize, record albums and write books.
