For beginners, I personally recommend the Essential Elements Book. If you are barely starting on an instrument, make sure you get book 1. Aside from the fact that I was taught with that book when I was in middle school, I taught with that particular method book to my beginners in the 2021-2022 school year. For intermediate students such as older middle school students, Essential Elements Books 2 and 3 would be my personal recommendation. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Violin, Trumpet, Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass Guitar
FOR BEGINNING BAND STUDENTS I START OFF USING EITHER ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OR STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE. WITH STRING STUDENTS I USE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FOR STRINGS.FOR JAZZ STUDENTS I USE THE JAMEY ABERSOLD JAZZ METHODS AND ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FOR JAZZ COMBO. WHEN IT COMES TO JAZZ THESE ARE THE BEST METHOD BOOKS FOR SOMEONE THAT WANT'S TO LEAR HOW TO PLAY JAZZ/BLUES. MY PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING MUSIC IS THAT ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN HOW TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT IF THEY APPLY THEMSELVES TO THE METHOD THAT IS BEING TAUGHT. 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

As with all students, I like tooassess the level of experience before setting a particular method. Once I teach proper warm up habits, I start by working on scales and range development. Once a basic knowledge of scales and warm up habits are established, I search the student to see what her/his interests are in music styles. Once that is accomplished...we can move on the bigger and better things. Read More

Music is my passion and that motivate me to be involved in every step that my students achieve. As a professional musician with more 20 years in a symphony orchestra I have could take a close encounter with many kinds of music and many artists. Every concert, every new experience represents to me a very important knowledge that let me enrichment my career. My first steps playing occurred in well know ¨El Sistema¨ in Venezuela. Read More
