Instruments: Piano Voice
I encourage students to choose one or two songs that theyalready know or would like to learn. Students are also taught simple vocal exercises from basic fundamental books, as well as stretching and breathing exercises.I use a variety of music books,depending on the level of the student. A new song will be introduced at the next lesson, and a review of the present lesson will continue. Read More

My personal style of teaching come from more than 20 years of experience on it. I will taylor a different plain of study for each student, from absolute beginners to the Advanced level. For early childhood i will use the Orff Shulwerk model of musical education , very funny and easy to learn. We will start to write together our own music after the first lesson! For older students i will reach their highest level in short time too, starting from the basic elements of music to arrive to a concert level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I know I'm doing my job when my student is growing not only in their abilities, but in their love of music! Ensuring that each student is learning repertoire that they enjoy at a pace that suits them is central to my teaching style. I love to find each student's strengths and celebrate them, as well as targeting goals for improvement in a warm, safe setting. I believe that music is meant to bring joy and healing to people, whether you are listening to it or making it. Read More
Instruments: Voice Cello Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
My approach is "Music as a support for life." We learn beyond the technical foundations but also about the intention of an author-composer in order to give a genuine rendition true to the intended emotion. Each student is treated as a unique individual and are brought to rise to the challenges they gave themselves with my caring passion for the art of music making and my respect for the student.

I will always push my students at the pace in which I believe they can handle. This means that this will change according to learning styles and motivation or lack of motivation shown to me. I will always give you all the tools I was employed to have as a student so that you will become the very best musician possible. I will always be available for questions and ideas that you would like to run across me. Read More

I have a bachelors degree in psychology so I am very sensitive to adapting to the feel of my students. I want to hear your goals, and know what your expectations are. We are a team, and together we will help you reach where you want to go and have a fun time doing so. I am very creative and open for ideas. Also I am sensitive to shyness, something I struggled with in the past myself, so we will work together to find ways to tackle these cool challenges and help you grow as an artist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Initially, I assess students at their level and accept their level. Then, we establish a clear goal and assess the reasonable steps to achieve this goal. Each lesson is personally tailored to the students needs, with a focus on where that individual student needs to grow. I believe that the lesson time is not simply a time to "practice", but it is a time to assess if the student is practicing correctly outside of class throughout the week. Read More
Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think it was gradual, i always knew i loved playing and learning but when i attended Pasadena City College, i knew i wanted more exposure to music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I actually began playing other instruments before drums, and thats kind of how i realized i loved drums. My first instrument was piano then i started picking up the guitar and bass.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, me and my older brother are both drummers in our family. My great uncle played upright bass and my great grandfather was an Accordion player here in the Los Angeles area.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
No other instrument feels quite like the drums, to me. It's a lot, but when i'm in "the zone" or in "the moment"..i feel complete and pure bliss.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of every student I have helped get over a “hill” in their journey through the instrument. That first time they achieve a new groove or point of technical is pure magic to me.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start slow, spend 10 minutes on each subject you want to practice, practice infront of a mirror, set goals, listen to the style / genre you want to learn and don’t forget to breathe.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Marine Biologist, the ocean is a fascinating place and beautiful. I've been a big animal lover my whole life, currently a dog dad of two pups (Rocket & Missy).
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Progressive music, doesn’t need to be complicated and doesn’t need to be fast. All progressive is a mystery when you press play, because there really is no boundaries.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Lock the door, put your phone aside, set goals, get comfortable and warm up. Anytime I sit behind my drums I want to feel refreshed and present.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I obtained my degree in Music Performance, for drums & percussion. I wanted to expand my vocabulary and challenge myself while being surrounded with like mided people / musicians.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Your own identity, I’ve been playing for 16 years and have just recently begun to figure out what statements I want to make on the instrument. Everyone can learn parts, but no one can be you.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Their passion for the instrument inspired me to keep going with what I wanted to learn. My joys, my ambitions and my influences were encouraged to be incorporated in my playing.
When will I start to see results?
In my experience, students begin to show progress after two lessons. Everyone is different and has unique strengths & weakness', this includes their process of learning new concepts / ideas.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any sign of interest with the ability to understand instructions, is all the reason to begin your journey on the instrument. Especially if they have favorite songs growing up and enjoy playng them again and again.
