Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
For teens and adult beginners (age 11 and up), I use the books specially complied for older beginners then progress to level three or above. I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun for the appropriate level(s). I like Mayron Cole piano method because it provide solid progression for rhythm counting, systematic build up for sight reading as well as introducing key concepts in music theory/history/genre.

For teaching children, I approach teaching as to the execution of everyday and fun pieces, so that the child learns by, and in turn I introduce aspects of academic learning necessary to create a solid base. In the same way,with young and adults, I make a work placement of the necessary techniques for a good and fast implementation, from technical learning exercise repetitive and daily ices, as well as the elaboration of a plan that involves their daily chores.

The student will have the choice to decide the music that he/she would like to learn to play. My aim is to teach the student all the tools he/she will require to play and enjoy their instrument. My aim is also to make the student independent by introducing him to resources where he can find music to study or learn at his own pace. This is the start of a lifelong love and relationship with your instrument and I would like to make it a part of their reality. Read More

I enjoy kids and students of all ages that are enthusiastic about learning, and I want them to be extraordinary with their skills.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to get an idea from the student and the parent what their expectations are for music lessons. From there, the student and I come up with musical goals to accomplish for that year. We create a practice schedule based on the student's school and extracurricular activities and try to follow that schedule as much as possible. I also like to incorporate other styles of music such as popular Broadway pieces and Contemporary pieces into the student's repertoire so that they can have greater diversity in their piano playing or singing.

I am a serious, nerdy musician who loves to learn something new every day and then pass that knowledge along through teaching others. After several stints at several colleges for both Music Performance and Audio Engineering I am thoroughly enjoying a performing career focusing on drumset, piano and voice. I can often be found playing music and singing at many establishments in the Houston/Austin/San Antonio area. Also I spend a great deal of time in studios writing, recording and producing songs for myself, my band and others. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Esthetic, healthy, different age and different characters need to be teaching with different excises, 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. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
What's more fun then playing music and perfoming with friends or family! After I did a couple of gigs and thought, All this fun and we get paid too! I was hooked!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes my Father won a song writing contest put on by Eddy Arnold in the 50's. Eddy arnold recorded his song and my father performed the song on Eddy Arnolds sindicated Radio show.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I Love "Weather Report"... anything from the Heavy Weather Album. I Love Miles Davis, just about anything from that album. Johnny Winter was my introduction to Blues...I like a lot of his tunes so it would be difficult to narrow down to one tune. I have a very broad pallet!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought. I've never given that any thought.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I took all the music classes and didnt finish the academics. I would not recommend this to anyone, but it is the path i chose. My Applied Major was Voice, but my interest was far more diverse... I had a real interest in Music teory and understanding all I could about that subject. I went so far as to go to another college and take all the music classes from that as well..... its better to get a degree!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Any Beginner Method book will work... I tend to use Hal Leonard, because that is what is available. I use my teachers book Complete Jazz Guitar Method by Vincent Bredice, published by Mel Bay
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Chord Melody guitar playing. All elements of guitar are hard until you have accomplished all the essentials. Practicing all arppegios, chords scales in every postion on the guitar is verychallenging. Soloing is also difficult.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will depend on what the outcome is. Specifically i spend time working through tunes for a particular artist. I may or may not write charts depending on how complicated and how much time i have to devout to it.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have a student that was a professor at a University, One that Plays with a Famous Coutry artist, and another who has his on guitar method, website and a fantastic musician!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in a Band that is a top ten Billboard Blues Charts Ensemble! Playing with some of the best drummers in the world right in South Florida.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
This is a hard question. I have several primary instruments... I enjoy the challege of Playing bass and singing, the challenge of soloing on guitar and love them equally.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers inspire me, not only just teachers but also musicians of many different instruments, vovalists, Guitarists, Bass players, sax players, drummers....
Vencent Bredice taught me how to learn as well as how to teach.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They must be ready to spend a minimum of 30 minutes a day practicing. if they can sit and take a 30 minute lesson then they can take lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Every student is different and learn at a different pace... I would say 6 weeks would be an average time frame to see results if they practice dilligently.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't spend too much time on one area. keep intense focus for 5-10 minutes and move onto another area.
example: 1. Practice the Melody for 10 minutes
2. Practice chords for 10 min
3. Practice arpeggios for 10 min...etc...
