I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

I have been teaching for the past 17 years. I enjoy the challenge of meeting each student's needs and creating an individual teaching plan to help students achieve their goals. I have had the opportunity to work with preschool through undergraduate students. My experience as a high school chorus teacher, Teaching Artist with the Washington National Opera, guest vocalist for the Ghanian ambassador, and part-time professor have bolster my ambition to bring music to students "where they are".

Instruments: Voice
For all students, I like to get a sense of what sort of musical knowledge the student has before starting. It is highly important to me to figure out what exactly the student wants out of the lesson and I will adapt my teaching style to fit their needs. I am happy to take on beginning students with no knowledge of music or the voice and give them they fundamentals and work up from there. Read More

The teaching experience I have, started at the university, with some colleagues that wished to learn to sing better or to just for Hobbie. For the past 5 years I have helped many singers, professional and young students in different styles of music, in classical, pop and mariachi. As a social service for my university I gave lessons to kids, and conducted choral pieces with senior students and adults. I encourage my students to be a better musicians by being better persons, because that's the only way to grow as a good singer. Read More

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.
