Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am an accomplished film composer for Netflix, Vice, HBO and many films. I also make music for ads like Apple, lOreal, MasterCard and more! I focus on the students strengths and dont force them to learn classical compositions. Although theory and site reading are very important, my students are here to learn how to fall in love with music and their instruments. As a conservatory student myself, I am grateful for the teachers who pushed me to have fun, learn songs, and allowed me to explore my creativity; this is the type of environment I bring to my students.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet
For children who are just starting, I use Bastien Piano Basics Primer Level-Level 2. From here, students graduate to selections primarily from Bach, Chopin and Beethoven. For adults I use Alfred's beginner adult course. I also supplement these books with several books that I have in my personal library, such as Keith's Snell's Essential Piano Repertoire. For scales I use Keith Snell's series and for technique I use Schaum's Fingerpower series. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music Keyboard
I truly enjoy teaching and live to see how well my students progress .my teaching style has to adapt for each student . I cant teach a 5 year old in the same manner as I teach a 79 year old student and I have both. A good teacher also needs to understand the wants and needs of each student thus the teaching method and books may change for each student especially if theres more than one person in the family learning to play .

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I began teaching drums private lessons 6 years ago in Spain, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio since I moved, 2 years ago, to L.A. All ages and inquires are welcome. It's all about finding the passion for music and having fun with it. Every homework can be a lot of fun and that's what we will look into. Lessons can be in English or Spanish. In piano, I began teaching 3 years ago for beginners that also needed the basic of music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
I have been featured during that time as an on stage soloist and leader of backstage banda groups. I am also associate concertmaster of the California Philharmonic. Now that I am retired from the public schools and soon from the opera orchestra I have more time to teach privately and am looking forward to using my expertise and a performer and teacher to take students to any level they would like to go.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Very flexible, friendly, understanding and supportive teacher. I encourage my students to play duets with me and their friends (if applicable) and participate in recitals.I also try to teach them basic music theory unless they object, and help them to understand music, learn more about the history of music, and related matters. Some of my students take Royal Conservatory of Music tests regularly. I try to accommodate my students' interests and needs and always open to new things -say if they want to learn guitar accompaniment toa song they want to sing or solo/ accompaniment for a band.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I like to use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements books. Intermediate students will practice their technique with Clarke's technical studies and some of Arban's beginning lessons. For the more advanced players, I will give them the more challenging lessons of Arban's and the beginning lessons of Claude Gordon's book if they have not played it before. Essential Elements 2000 is a book that provides a step by step guide for the beginner students, it also comes along with a CD with all the songs that are in the book. The Clarke and Arban's books are two of the most popular and respected books that trumpet players from all levels use. These are two books that even professional and successful players still use everyday.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The control of the sound throughout the entire register of the instrument is the most difficult thing to achieve. Even the most successful and experienced trumpeters can still struggle with this and still practice every day to improve. When bad habits and techniques are acquired on the trumpet, they can be very difficult to change and at the same time it greatly effects the endurance. For this reason, I spend a lot of time getting my students to play as relaxed as possible, even if it means that they cannot get a sound right away, creating a relaxed feeling will help them overcome the challenges that will be presented when they begin to take on more difficult music.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Throughout my musical career, I have been lucky enough to play with many different professional classical and jazz orchestras outside and in the United States. I am also proud of being a part of different jazz festivals in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Knoxville, and Cuba. Personally, Christmas concerts are my favorite venues because the audience knows all the music and everyone is happy and excited to celebrate the holidays with our music. While working at a music school in my home country Venezuela, I had the opportunity to inspire and teach a large number of students who did not have previous musical experiences.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I was watching a cartoon on the television. At the end of the episode, the three little pigs began to play jazz and the bad wolf was playing the trumpet with them. This music and the trumpet caught my attention and I asked my parents what kind of music this was. They replied, this is jazz. I then found out about a famous jazz trumpeter named Louis Armstrong and would listen to his music everyday while riding the bus to school. After a few months, I asked my parents if I could have a trumpet and begin to take trumpet lessons.
