Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates back to 8/2015. It was a friend through my father's. Since then, I have been consistently teaching in my home studio for 2 years now. Encouraging regular practice is important to produce consistent results. Although I am classically-inclined, contemporary (modern) music goes a long way in helping students to continue enjoying and learning the piano. Students will also participate in Student Day, and the National Guild of Piano Teachers, etc. Read More

In 1998 I became Musical Director of the group Los Tigres, with which I began to develop my compositional and arranging skills.. In 2001 I founded the group SonEra, now performing only my own compositions and arrangements. During this period of time I also developed my teaching career, working as a drum, percussion and piano teacher at Rinkeby Music School, Kulturama and at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. I also presented Cuban music workshops all over Sweden. 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 this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone
My music experience dates back to playing in the Jazz band in grade school, where I learned the foundational knowledge all music students should have. At Suffolk College, I played saxophone, which lead to starting a rb band with some of my fellow musicians on campus. Traveling through the northeast, we played weddings, corporate functions, and clubs. The experience I gained throughout this time is invaluable and really brought my skill to the next level.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I like working with songs that students will enjoy playing or singing. I use songs as tools that include new information; so, with each piece, student learns something new with the joy of "just" learning a song. I create lesson plans that allow students to learn one step at a time. I use variety of methods that help students to focus and/or refocus on the concepts they are learning. Read More

I love the teaching profession and the process of instilling musical knowledge and passion in others. I first started learning music in middle school when I was a part of the concert band. I later went on to high school where I took piano classes and became my main instrument. I eventually graduated from Miami Dade College with an Associates in Arts degree in music education. I'm a musician with eleven years of playing experience. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Technique! That is the ability to play a note with the correct attack, duration, phrasing and dynamics that allow a note to sing. Knowing when to play and when not to play especially in jazz or improvised music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend practicing for 30 minutes a day. It is more effective for some people to practice at two 15 minutes intervals a day. It is my experience that it is more effective to practice everyday than to practice for hours to " cram" for the test.
When will I start to see results?
I've seen results within a few weeks. I've asked parents to hang in for 6 months gently encouraging the student. If the student continues to complain about lessons or refuses to practice it might be time to move on. As a caveat I've never heard anyone say they were happy about giving up lessons. I've heard people say they wish they continues or stayed with it.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always liked guitar. I played the piano and the idea of playing with 8 fingers and six strings with 23 frets was interesting to me. I thought electric guitars looked cool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the John Thompson series. The pages are not cluttered with superfluous pictures. I can expand on the lessons and use my own techniques and philosophy to teach.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Living off grid in the wilderness as a hermit growing my food and playing guitar on the porch. My wife has terms and conditions that prevent me from doing this so music it is.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have successful students. I would have to ask their permission to drop their names here. They have played with world renowned bands and become wanted side men.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not a teacher. Its a long story but I knew a guy about 15 years older than me who showed me how to play jazz chords. I thanked him until today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was always there. I wanted to play guitar, but Mom and Dad insisted on piano and I'm glad they did. Piano opens up all other instruments. I took up guitar as an adult. I have a friend who is a great guitar player, he says piano is order and guitar is chaos!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
writing and composing radio and TV jingles. I'm also proud of the students I've had that went on to be professionals. Playing with Bo Diddly was a kick.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I f they ask or respond to your question positively. I think 6 years old is a good time to start. I ask the parent if their child does well in school. Kids are funny I've seen excetions to all the rules!
