My musical experience began back when I was 11 years old. I was introduced to music when I was a boy and from that point on my life changed. Through the course of my career I have played many genres of music such as Classical, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Rock, Blues, and Commercial Music. I graduated from the University Cal State Long Beach back in 2009 with and emphasis in instrumental music. During my college years I studied classical string bass and performed in different instrumental and vocal jazz ensembles. My primary instrument is the bass but I also play piano and guitar. I have been a musician for twenty five  years and a teacher for ten years. In the last three years I have been working as a music teacher in Los Angeles Unified District.

For beginning students who are children, I usually start with technique exercises that will help develop the foundation of their playing. I do not introduce music notation usually until the fifth or sixth lesson. I believe that kids learn faster when they beginning learning by call and response or like many call imitation. By developing first the ability to listen and play by instinct a student can develop a stronger foundation in developing the beat and noticing high and low pitches. In my perspective music notation needs to be introduce later in the musical experience of a child.
