Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I usually see what level the student is on and we go from there. The age and interest of the students will also tell me which way to go in the lesson. Usually with beginner students the Hal Leonard book is a good place to start but I'm willing to start with any beginning book. If the students are just interested in one specific thing then we focus on that. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I teach theory and technique to my students by creating exercises tailored to their needs. Every student is unique, and my method reflects that. I also feel very strongly that music, and the piano in particular, is a subject that can be learned at any point in life. I have student of many different age groups, ranging from elementary school children to retirees looking to develop piano performance as a personal hobby. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person. I like to make sure that I am teaching both the ear to listen and the eye to read, so I make sure I can improve the development of both by providing effective sight=reading and aural exercises in every lesson.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I have taught many students about Music Theory, composition and the Saxophone, and have helped all of them reach new levels of fluidity on their instruments, gain deeper understanding of concepts, and develop more extensive knowledge of Theory, and how to apply it. It is a true pleasure to see my student succeed and have the Aha moment when a concept that they were struggling with, morphs into something they dont even need to think about. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
My musical experiences started at church in the 80's when I discovered that I could sing really high notes imitating Christian artists like Sandy Patty and the late puertorican soprano Yolanda Vadiz. Those experiences motivated me to consider studying music seriously not just like another hobby. I started studying voice techniques at the age of 20 at the Sacred Music Institute in the Methodist Church in Hato Rey, PR. There I took classes with tenor Jose Torres and baritone Rafael Cotto who prepared me for the audition at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I focus on indvidualizing the lesson to the student. Every student has different goals, dreams, and personalities. I typically use the Faber Books for piano, Hal Leonard for guitar and ukulele, and I work in sight-reading with my voice students. I also work in music theory when appropriate, and enjoy explaining the "why" behind how music works. I'm also a singer-songwriter and have tunes on Spotify Apple Music. I write and produce my own songs and have had my compositions performed frequently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
After that I received a bachelors degree in Jazz Studies from the University of North Texas and then a masters degree in trumpet performance from the University of Texas at Arlington. I keep a busy schedule as a freelance musician and perform regularly with the Dallas Jazz Orchestra. I also do the occasional the tour with different groups. One of the highlights of my career so far has been headlining with The Polyphonic Spree at the Marvin Festival in Mexico City in 2016! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing can be accomplished by being consistent. By simple practicing everyday things fall into place before we notice. Even if you practice 15 mins a day you're working things out. Just like with exercising playing an instrument is very similar. Golfers go to the driving range to practice their swing. The more they do it the more things fall into place and the swing gets more consistent and more accurate. A musician practices wide range of things in order to reach a high level of command on their instrument. The more you stay consistent with something, even if its short periods of time daily, cumulatively we continue to grow and become better!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My personal belief is a student is ready to learn music and start lessons as soon as they want. I started playing trumpet at the age of 6. My brother was a huge influence and showed me how to play. Once I started I couldn't put it down. If your child is curious at all about playing and instrument or singing or doing anything musical, get them started in lessons right away. It gives them positive 1 on 1 instruction to help them understand the process of learning and instrument and can easily progress faster with 1 on 1 instruction.
When will I start to see results?
The musical process is always in progress. It never stops. I've been playing for over 18 years now and I'm still learning. Results depend on consistent practicing as I mentioned before. My over all observation on results are they vary. Some results you'll see right away and others may take significant time to notice. It's always best to keep in mind there are "levels" of results. Concepts you practice may be really hard and only see a small result of your effort. That's OK! You're still getting a positive result. No matter how small or how big... any positive result equals progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my private teachers inspired me to continue with music. They gave me all the tools necessary to practice effectively, understand the level of playing I needed to get to in order to work as a professional. One specific teaching I spent over 6 years with worked very hard with me and worked through thousands of practice material and benefited greatly by practicing EVERYTHING. If it wasn't for his background and great teaching structure, I would not be where I am today in my own ability to teach and play.
