Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I believe in teaching foundational skills or concepts in a way that allows students to use their individual preferred genres of music as the subject of study. I also like to use technology interactively to teach less-engaging concepts. Any form of progress is acknowledged and used as a stepping stone to the next level. Rapid changes in technology have caused a great impact in the effective delivery of teaching and training methods for learners and students of different learning styles. Read More

For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 1997, I graduated from Westmar University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Percussion Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play in New York, as well as touring all over the world. I was fortunate to record with Mr. Read More

For beginners, which is mainly what I've taught so far, I try and see what their goals are and teach them accordingly. Both students I've taught have had entirely different goals, one just trying to learn drumset and the other wanting to learn a song for his talent show. The first, I taught using my own books that I have learned from, and the second I taught by just going through the song slowly, taking it apart, and learning it section by section. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated music teacher who loves introducing young children to the wondrous world of music. I come from a very musical family as my father instilled in me a great love of piano and I have in turn inspired my nephew who is also a musician. I graduated from Southwestern University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education. I have always had a good rapport with my students and I get great satisfaction watching my students advance in their musical proficiency. Read More
Instruments: Piano
With the younger beginners (elementary school), I’m very, very energetic! I do my best to break it balanced; however, I strive to make the environment as fun and warm and welcoming as they would like. I pride myself on leaving every child eager to learn more! With the older beginners (middle school and high school), I keep in mind their personalities and methods of learning and processing the material, so the lesson is still warm, but more balanced in nature.

Instruments: Trumpet
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This would depend a lot on what I may have coming up. If I am preparing for a show, then I will probably practice a couple times a day in segments. One part, just getting back to fundamentals (breath control, range fluidity from low to high, stamina)... and then, of course, work on the show material - if available. If it's a show I don't have the music to, I still might work on other saved show material, as actual musical preparation.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
This isn't going to be something different than a musician... but much of my earlier lift (thru 30) was also spent as a vocalist. Life and opportunities had me gravitate more towards trumpet and less (to none) with voice. I still love singing and would be enjoy doing more.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
As what's known as a commercial trumpet player, I have to be able to play all styles, at any given moment. Think about many Broadway musicals. There can be everything from classical, jazz, swing, latin, cartoony, lyrical ballad, marches, and on and on...all with just ONE piece in the show! I have to be ready to convincingly cover anything that's put in front of me!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I do play percussion, as well as a little bit of piano. Percussion started when I was very young, as my father wanted me to learn rhythms, first...as a foundation. (good plan!) Piano....well, that developed as I began writing original music and arrangements. I'm not very good at piano...haha...but I can get the job done and it's been very helpful with writing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
As stated before, my father was a lifelong music educator (band/orchestra director), clinician and player. My mother was a wonderful singer (as are my entire family), though she had nerves issues! My sister was a very good flute player and sang in choirs,etc. My brother is a fine guitar/bass player...a wonderful singer and a really good writer.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My defining moment was winning a spot on a month long entertainers camp, hosted by John Davidson in California. We had our own arrangers and performed every weekend at the Avalon Bowl on Catalina Island. We were taught by industry professionals, actors, dance instructors and many famous artists and composers. I knew this is what I wanted to do, then and there.
