Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I began teaching drums private lessons 6 years ago in Spain, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio since I moved, 2 years ago, to L.A. All ages and inquires are welcome. It's all about finding the passion for music and having fun with it. Every homework can be a lot of fun and that's what we will look into. Lessons can be in English or Spanish. In piano, I began teaching 3 years ago for beginners that also needed the basic of music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My 5 years of teaching experience, and 20+ years of performing experience has helped me gain a storehouse of helpful knowledge, wisdom and methods. Having worked with all voice types, I have learned that each voice is unique and should be treated as such. I have always allowed my students to work at their own pace, but I have also learned when it is more beneficial to help push my students. As a performer, I have been commended for my artistry.

Instruments: Piano
When I were young, my father was a my great teacher, always encouraging and instilling in me the value of music as a spiritual value. That helps me develop both mentally and physically, so I also wish to impart my knowledge to students. Teaching music is an art of communication in which I hope to convey excitement and complete each task well. On stage, I evaluate each student individually and most of them try to perform well and after performing they always look towards me as if proud of having complete their duty with a happy smile.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I can't describe how rewarding teaching can be. As a parent myself I know how amazing it is to see my kids learning and feeling pride in their achievements. I help my students to set goals that are achievable. I believe a little practice each day is one of the most useful tools to give to a learner. The best way I've found to work with young learners is with play-based approaches. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am organized with a good sense of time management able to handle the multiple tasks of a teacher including grading classroom management and lesson planning. My knowledge of music is extensive and I am a skilled teacher who brings concepts to life in creative ways. My student teaching supervisor and professor both commended me on my ability to pass my genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter onto the children. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Accordion
I have been playing cello for 20 or so years. I have studied at CSUN classical cello performance. I have been teaching for about 10 years. I have brought many students from complete beginners all the way up to concierto level playing. I have played for and with many very successful bands over the years including Chelsea Wolfe, No Age, Saint Motel, Tes Elations. I have also played in many orchestras and chamber groups. I also do session recording and I can teach you any genre of music you'd like to learn. Read More
Instruments: Cello Music
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Masters Degree in Cello performance and a Bachelor's Degree in Cello Performance. Both these degrees focused on the study of playing the advanced-professional cello. I picked the cello out when I was 10 and ever since then, I never looked back because this is the instrument for me.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There is a beautiful piece composed Ernest Bloch entitled "The Prayer", absolutely beautiful. This piece is gorgeous on the cello and after learning it several years ago, I would love to perform it at some time. I might have an opportunity to play this piece this year.
This piece depicts the calm and quietness of the Jewish people. He wrote this piece for Hans Kindler, with the intent to capture the Jewish spirit and soul.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Assuming this question is truly about practicing and not a lesson. Then practicing should involve slow and thorough practicing by reading the correct notes, knowing which finger needs to be associated with the note. This should be done every day in order to learn each note. then on the 3rd day playing the entire piece. At this point, if you have some errors, isolate what is the problem, fix that problem after 5 times. Then back up one measure and try playing two measures together. If your problem is fixed then you practiced correctly. After this point, start from the beginning and your problem should have been resolved.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes I use String Builder by Applebaum. This book is very helpful because it is a step by step method, that way there is a logical order in which the student learns. There are other books such as Alfred, Hal Leonard, or Suzuki, but I am very happy with the String Builder.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the technique of learning how to vibrato is the toughest part of the learning process. It requires a lot of patience and due diligence of practicing. The process is slow and ugly sounding, but if done right it sounds great.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have two high school students who have won scholarships from Music Teachers Association where each received $300 towards private lessons. These same students are now in their 1st year of college and continue to play at the community level. In addition, one of my students played a solo piece with my orchestra 2 years ago when she was only 15.
