Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
If you are interested in taking piano/keyboard, guitar or voice lessons...I would really like to be your music instructor! I will travel to your home, hoping to make it more convenient for those students that would like their lesson after school hours. You are also welcomed to my home music studio each week for your lesson, conveniently located in Anaheim. To tell you a little about myself, I was raised in a musical family introduced to music at a very young age. Read More

It is not easy but I promise, in the end, it is truly worth it. The times you put in to practicing, there truly is a reward at the end of it all. Your hard work will pay off. Read More

I hope to be a teacher that is loving and kind while also teaching great techniques and theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been a working music teacher and professional musician since 2003. My work has taken me all over the world, from exotic, global itineraries on board 5-star cruise ships, to the some of the top music venues in New York City, as well as the homes and classrooms of many satisfied students. I graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, with a B.M. in Jazz Performance (saxophone). I also hold a Certificate of Eligibility in K-12 Music from the New Jersey Department of Education, as well as a Substitute Teaching Certificate (specializing in music) for Sussex County school districts in New Jersey.

I am a professional saxophonist, composer and instructor who loves to share my knowledge with my students. In 2009, I graduated Berklee College of Music with honors with a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Composition, Saxophone performance and Orchestral Conducting. I have had the chance to perform in different parts of the world with some of the greatest Jazz and Latin Jazz musicians in the scene such as Arturo Sandoval, Alex Acuna, Ramon Stagnaro, Hector Martignon, Roberto Quintero, among many others.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I use various methods and books depending on the style, age, ability etc. I always keep my eye out for new books and open to suggestions. A few examples. With classical guitar students who are over 10 yo I prefer to use Christopher Parkening Guitar Method and Frederick Noad "Solo Guitar Playing" The latter suits more mature (both mentally and physically) students. With younger guitar students , 6-9 yo, I usually start by using basic guitar methods such as Hal Leonard Essential elements or "Everybody's Guitar Method" and my own easy arrangements of popular songs before shifting to Parkening.

When will I start to see results?
I can site results immediately. The best way to determine if your are making progress is to record oneself on a daily or weekly basis. Then go back to listen to the musical performance. I do this in my studio every day with several instruments I play and music I'm comping. Recording is the best mirror. As a teacher I can provide a perspective to a student, but the best answer is what your ears hear.
I notice results in my progress, by developing calluses on my fingers while playing guitar or strengthening my embouchure while playing Trumpet or Tenor sax. A small amount of muscular pain is a good thing. As long as you do not stress out the muscles the feeling of progress can be noticed through the repetition playing a musical instrument requires.
Perhaps the best way to notice results is how much one hears after a period of time. If you remember what you could grasp a year prior to the moment you realize your ability to hear music has grown, believe me it will be noticed.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have seen music help children who are unable to concentrate and focus. If a child is filled with energy music can be one of the best sedatives. If a child shows an interest in music I highly recommend encouraging this. Learning how to read music has been a great asset for many in terms of learning other important life skills. If a person does not go onto a professional career in music, the time one spends with music will aid one in all kinds of situations. I wrote music for a documentary where children of low soci- economic means used drum circles to calm their pain. Many of these children has seen and suffered things most children never experience. The transformation was magical. Just beating on a drum for 30 minutes a day had very positive results.
For that experince alone I say your child should do music just as they do athletics. It is the proper balance in life.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Use whatever inspires one to spend the time alone that it takes to achieve their goal. Start off crawling before you walk and finally learn to run. Practicing something fast and making mistakes will result in playing those same mistakes forever.
Patience. Transcribing music from any place you hear it is best . Singing the melodies is even better.
Some students need a rigid routine, others are inspired by changing their routines. It does not matter. Getting into your space to practice is all that matters. Finding a place to focus and do the hard exercises over and over again will pay off.
