I am a dedicated piano instructor where teaching piano is my greatest passion. I developed my love for piano having come from a musical family. I come from a family of pianists and piano teachers, choir directors, music teachers in public school, vocalists who sang in church, with rock and roll bands, or with big bands back in the 30's, 40"s, and 50"s, and composers. All throughout my musical educational experience at high school and at university, piano was my main instrument where I continued my study of piano and music composition. Read More

I once was a student and I understand how important it was to find a teacher that can teach what I lacked the most. This is exactly why I do my lessons to be costumed to each and every students! I try to inspire students with what they can accomplish and what they needs to be challenged. Understanding concepts and how to target a goal is very very important. Implementing a methods on how to practice effectively and making sure that students pursue an interest on practicing and reaching for there goal is my style of teaching. Read More

I am aware that the abilities and goals of each student vary, which is why I work to tailor a lesson plan structured around each student as an individual. While you will be professionally trained on the drumset and studying the fundamentals of music, you will also be encouraged to have fun and learn what most interests you. . We will listen to recordings and talk about music while I learn what inspires you. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have a focused yet comfortable approach to teaching. One of my greatest thrills is watching my students succeed in either conquering a new technique or simply feeling the joy of finishing a piece. I take into consideration who my student is, what they are going through and watch them grow over time into confident musicians, performers and individuals. I give each student the experience to learn to play with other musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Conga Latin Percussion Music
I like giving my students the right tools,lesson by lesson,enabling them to proceed through the learning process.I usually start observing what the student come up with,wether on drums or piano and then I use their natural talent or inspiration to connect to my teaching path .This way I'm able to really engage with them,keeping them on that inspiration that brought them to me.I always try to adapt my style to the student inclinations since some of them are more for instinctive learning others more for academic learning.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Have you ever seen the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus? If you haven’t, go find it immediately. That movie is about an educator who touched more lives than he ever could have imagined over the course of 30 years.
I am extremely lucky because I have many Mr. Holland’s Opus teachers in my life.
My favorite voice teacher ever is Richard Poppino. He was my voice teacher, opera director, and department head at OSU. He was the first teacher that made me believe I had a future performing. We still remain great friends and I consider him a wonderful mentor. He is one of many who have propelled me into my career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I am a firm believer that there is a difference between working hard and working smart.
To practice effectively, you have to be able to identify what needs to most work. After pin pointing that, you put in the most work there. Often this is “the hardest” phrase of the piece and it just needs a little extra love.
Singing a song over and over again does not equal effective practicing.
Skipping out on practicing, while tempting, is also not effective.
My best advice is to have a set practice time and stick to it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to tell if your child is ready is if they want to. If they are interested in singing. If they gravitate towards music.
In my own technique, I adjust to what my students need and therefore I will never be overwhelming them with anything they aren’t ready for.
In my own background, I started out with different music lessons in my childhood and didn’t start taking proper voice lessons until my voice was quite developed.
While I got a lot of what I needed from the multiple choirs I was a part of, the main thing I missed out on was repertoire! And having someone one on one to help tailor what I should be singing.
The short answer is that I am a professional singer, no matter, but I did hit roadblocks in my youth that held me behind the competition.
When will I start to see results?
This is not a one size fits all question or answer. Referring back to the question about effective practicing, results can only be found once you’ve put in the effort. However, I’ve had students be instantly surprised immediately if I’ve helped access something they’ve never experienced before. This could be a very simple adjustment or it could be hitting a note they had no idea they had in them.
This is very much dependent on the rapport between teacher and student and the effort and preparation each have brought to the table.
