For beginning students (regardless of age instrument) I try to simplify the approach and work on a set of warm ups/exercises coupled with a performance piece or song that they can feel good about and lots of fun listening assignments. From there I have a few options of instruction methods that I tailor to the individual student. More intermediate/advanced students will not escape from some of the basics (metronome, scales, rudiments etc.) but will be met with many more choices of performance material based more on their individual goals.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Preschool students: I use everything in my hands to help them to love music and enjoy it. We dance, we jump, sometimes we color ... anything that helps them learn. My class basically consists in developing in the little ones curiosity and musical taste. Through musical games and songs, the students will understand the basics of music theory, tone and rhythm. Also, some musical games that we will be doing will help each kid to improve his reading, writing, mathematical and other academic skills, as well as his ability to remember and memorize. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began while studying piano performance at SFA! At first, I was a little concerned with how I would manage as a student teacher; however, as the semesters went by, I fell in love with the process. I’ve grown to learn how each student is different, not only in their personalities, but the way they process what’s in front of them. The time they take to learn their material is very important to me, and the more I see them grow, the more accomplished and proud I feel as a teacher! Read More
Instruments: Piano
There is nothing is more gratifying to me than seeing my students cultivate a passion for music. It is imperative that each student advance at their own rate. I will help each student set realistic goals for themselves. Acknowledging their accomplishments and encouraging their individual musical interests helps further fuel the students desire to succeed.

Instruments: Piano
For beginning students between ages 3 and 6 I use Progressive Piano Method for the young beginner. Older beginners are given options based on their age, ability and goals. I have testing materials available for those who are interested. When I taught international students at Brook Mays, I learned many different techniques for young beginners. Most of my students start at around 3 or 4 and stay with me all the way through advanced Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, etc. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session would be one which you are ready to concentrate and able to focus. Ideally, you would work on one concept at a time and not try to do too much at once. For example, if you are working on straight bow, I would focus on that concept and just concentrate on making sure the bow consistently stays straight and does not go off course.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Essential Elements books for very beginning students since this book is very good at helping students learn how to read notes, and it has easy exercises which gradually become more difficult as you progress to later pages in the book. I believe that the Essential Elements books helps students learn at their own pace and does not rush to teach them concepts in which they are not yet ready to learn. After they finish the Essential Elements book, I highly encourage them to play exercises in Suzuki since they have the foundation to read the notes of the Suzuki exercises. The Suzuki book does not teach students how to read notes since it is more of a book for ear training. If students are at an intermediate or advanced level, I allow them to bring in music which they need the most help and/or are preparing for a specific purpose (audition, competition, etc.)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Three of my students auditioned for region orchestra and were selected to be part of it. Additionally, another student which I taught at a public high school made a second division in the state competition and got a silver medal for this placement. Also, one of my private students placed highly in the orchestra which he had hoped he would make as part of the Youth Orchestras of San Antonio summer orchestra camp.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think that the hardest thing to master on an instrument is the technical work (position, straight bow, blowing right amount of air on recorder, left hand position, etc.). I believe this is the hardest since many people are not able to learn it correctly on their own nor in a group class. Many students who develop bad habits in this area really struggle playing music they are assigned since they play in such a way that makes it harder for them to reach the notes and create a good sound.
