Instruments: Piano Voice
I am deeply committed music educator who began teaching privately in 2002. I have taught in music elementary, middle school, and music high school as well as at the university being a teaching assistant at Florida International University and University of Miami. I have taught students of any ability or level, and it is always a pleasure to work with a new student, and to create and shape his or her musical personality. Read More

I make the lessons as inspiring and motivational as possible. I encourage my students to practice and set goals at each lesson. It it truly an amazing feeling when a student accomplishes a goal and the smile I get when they do. Music is such a blessing and being able to express yourself through it is an incredible gift.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
My teaching originated in high school when I taught a few beginners the wonderful basics of the cello. I've now taught for over 15 years and have brought all students of all levels to new heights. When teaching, I explain what it is that I do when I play and how to learn this. Just performing would not allow me to share my insights from years of my musical journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I always like to know what is the goal of each of my students. What style or genre they like as well as if they are aiming to be a solo performer or part of a band or ensemble. I like to start students on method books such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, this will teach students basic music theory as well as how to read on a staff. If also like contemporary music, I will teach them how to read chords letters, so to play styles such as jazz, pop, rock and contemporary gospel music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Harp Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My focus is on Technique, Warm ups, and Injury Prevention on each instrument. I like to give precise instructions on how to build up discipline and practice regimens. The key to mastering any instrument is consistency. I believe it's important to get to know each students interest and goals in order to create a customized plan. I try to make each lesson, fun and inspirational. Each person learns differently. This is known as "modality" Auditory By ear, or tonal instruction Kinesthetic By feel, learns from physically being shown, a hands-on learner Visual By sight, by fret board position memory and shape.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My experience goes back over ten years. I have taught students privately and also from teaching services. Presently, I am teaching piano at a school here in the Miami area. In additionn to that, I have several private students that I teach at my home studio. My students are encouraged to practice everyday. If they are taking lessons because they are interested, it is easier to teach them. If they are coming because their parents want to learn, they are not as inclined to enjoy their lessons. Read More

I first began teaching when I was appointed by my professor to be the tutor for music theory and beginning guitar class at the college I was attending. From 2011 until spring of 2014 I worked as the music director for an elementary school. I taught all music classes for pre-K to 8th grade, taught private lessons and directed after school bands and choirs.Here I also gained experience teaching autistic and special needs children.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing material that is both inspiring and challenging allows for growth and motivation in the student. Repetition is key to retention. The student who practices 15 minutes a day will see more progress than the student who practices an hour once a week. This is due to the fact that more frequent playing allows for information retention at a much higher rate. That way, once it is time for a weekly lesson, not only will you play better, but you will feel better as well. Being able to see your own growth is the best motivator to continue to improve in your ability.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I feel guitarists face an interesting phenomenon. As guitar was the focal point in numerous bands of the past decades, many players took up all the space in the song. As guitarists grow in their ability, there is a tendency to play as fast, loud, and wild as possible. However, this is not conducive to a well balanced style. The hardest concept to understand and master for guitar, from my experience, is space. Intentionally playing in a sparse style, allowing the song to breathe, and being fully intentional with your note selection is a concept that takes many guitarists years to learn. However, once these concepts are understood, the ability of the guitarist increases exponentially.
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 degree in Music Industry Studies with a focus in Recording and Production. While this degree is focused primarily on studio work, the Hayes School of Music requires all students to try out on an instrument and participate in ensembles, theory classes, and lessons. Pursuing this degree specifically not only provided me with working knowledge for recording studios, but also for playing in studio sessions, interacting with professionals in the industry, legal and marketing knowledge, and skills both collaborative and communicative. This knowledge is not only incredibly helpful for musicians looking to create their music, but also for those looking to enter a competitive and complex industry.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
In high school, I was playing in a metal band with some friends. While our loose, dirty style was appropriate for live shows, it didn't transfer well to a studio setting when we went to record our debut EP. Due to this fact, I was tasked with writing and performing not only the guitar parts, but the bass and drums as well. After writing and recording all of those parts, I had a few more instruments under my belt. It wasn't until my junior year of college that I started learning jazz piano. This semester long class not only made piano much easier to understand, the visual layout of the theory on the keyboard allowed me to understand theory on a deeper level on all of my instruments.
