If the students already had books from prior music instructor, we pick up from the last lessons after answering questions to make sure the students thoroughly understand the previous lessons from the previous chapters. For beginning students, I've used the Mel Bay's modern bass and guitar methods, James Bastien piano library, Essential Elements for wind instruments, Advanced Rock drumming and Master theory books by Charles S. Peters and Paul Yoder or any music books and online documents download by the the student. Read More

I am a very patient and understanding person teaching all ages, learning styles/abilities and cultures. What the students love is crucial in order to capture that magic to incorporate into the weekly lesson plans. I also specialize in have following extra areas: Special needs (creative music art), "Princess/Pirate Music" (youngsters), Coach Music as a natural form of alleviating some social emotional problems for some students...in other words making daily stresses seem not so big after a refreshing music class for most, lol!

I started teaching during my days at the Conservatory, as it was required in the study program. I graduated as a performer and educator in classical and Afro-Cuban percussion, with the piano as a complementary instrument. Teaching has always been an important and constant part of my career, since I have always viewed teaching as a learning tool. I came to realize that the process of constantly finding new ways to make the students understand and interiorize something, was of great benefit to myself. Read More

I began performing solo and touring around Europe with a Jazz-Funk band, The Freeks. At the same time I began studying at the Grazyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz Academy of Music in Lodz, Poland to finally move to Miami and graduate from Florida International Univeristy with BA in Music. I performed for Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line for 5 years, which included teaching piano classes for the Royal Caribbean Academy. I am a session studio musician and during the summertime I teach music production at one of the studios in Miami. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage my students by setting realistic goals and proving homework after each lesson to perfect for the next lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the students, I can successfully tailor my instruction to his or her learning style. Read More

i always love to see my students reach a goals on the lessons and i don't believe in "i can't do it", if you can dream it, you can see it, and if you can see it you can do it!. i always believe that the everybody can play an instrument if you say that is not for you, that is just a sign that you just need more practice that other people , i already teach a kid to play violin and also a grandma to sing and play guitar at the same time i think everything is posible you jus need practice over and over again until you make it.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Engage the child. Help them find what they like best. And most importantly parent encouragement. The best students I had were those whose parents were most active in their learning. For children this applies. For adults: MAKE THE TIME. If you don’t practice you are wasting your time and money and most importantly you’re missing out on a beautiful, enriching experience. They say it takes about 27 days to develop a habit so practice for at least 30min-1hour a day for 27 days and then you’ve got it!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Usually school age children who can read and write are preferred. Music not only consists of playing your instrument but of reading sheet music which is difficult or near impossible if the student can’t read. Also in my experience, the younger the child, the shorter the attention span. I once had a 5 year old student who upon first glance, was definitely not prepared for music (he could not sit still or concentrate or control his fingers). However with his mother’s persistence and discipline and much hard work he began on a slow and steady learning path. Not ideal but definitely a personal choice.
When will I start to see results?
This is truly every student (or parent’s) main question. And the answer is simple: it depends on you. I had one student for an entire year who did not even progress past one lesson book because of her lack of practice and her mother’s lack of discipline. Adversely, I also had a student younger than the previous student who excelled through three books in two months because of his motivation and his mother’s strong encouragement. Results are in the hands of the student. Practice often, pay attention at lessons and you will go very far very quick. You might even be playing an entire classical piece at the end of 8 months.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I’ve had multiple teachers who were renowned in the state but the one who truly left an impact on me was Mr. Lawrence (the Houston music Theorist). Unlike other music professors, he didn’t only instruct me in the ways of my instrument. He opened my mind to the beauty of music and the aesthetic structure behind it. He made me realize how much more there was to understanding music and truly mastering your instrument. I learned to read into the history and emotions of composers, solve the math behind theory and appreciate the deep beauty hidden in every piece. I hope to share that with each student I take so that they may also be inspired by this.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are many difficulties with the piano. Mastering left hand seems to be a typical hurtle for those who are starting. However as long as you practice your left hand more than your right, you can easily overcome this. Also pedaling is very difficult it seems. If you can imagine: you’re already playing two different lines with both hands just to introduce a pedal that must be played at certain times all on its own. And last but not least, posture! You’d never think but yes, almost all my students have trouble sitting correctly and placing their hands correctly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The two main book lesson series that I use are Faber and Alfred’s. For beginners who go at a normal or slow pace in learning, Faber has always been my go-to. It has many songs at easy levels to master and gives you time before learning new objectives. Alfred’s however, I tend to use for older/more advanced students, as it is more fast-paced than Faber. I try to start each student on some sort of series however but at the same time giving additional songs and exercises as well as letting them pick their own songs to practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music definitely tends to run in my family, particularly from my father’s side. He started playing classical guitar when he was very young and quickly became a prodigy of his professors (who happened to be a famous musician). He would go to concerts and rich peoples homes to perform, and was his professor’s star pupil. I believe he passed his passion for music to me and my sister who is a violist married to a violinist and together they teach music as well privately and at a school. I remember many nights where I’d play my dad’s favorite song (Moonlight Sonata) to him and then other nights where he would play me beautiful Brazilian lullabies.

I would like to start either group lessons or private lessons in cello. I have absolutely no background in music but will be very committed to learning. Thank you.
Rory
I'd like to take beginner lessons on piano/keyboard. I do not currently own a piano or keyboard so lessons could be taken at studio or instructor's residence.
Shelah
Please email me the information and wait for me to call you. My child and I are interested in piano lessons but do not have a piano in the home. Do you have other options?
