I found out early on (age of 13) that I had a facility to teach and help friends understand music concepts. Some said it’s a gift, others said it’s vocation. To me it was just sharing what I loved. Since I had already decided to make music my career I made it a point to learn more and all I could in this field. Three degrees later (B.M /Berklee College of Music, B.M and M.M. /University of Miami) having studied under amazing Masters and years of performing, touring, producing and recording I have a lot to offer anyone, any age, any level when they choose me as their music teacher.
- Lesson Details *
My students would describe our lessons as fun and enjoyable. That’s because I want everyone to learn the basics of music in a relaxed and comfortable environment. I’m easy going and encouraging in character and make it a point to explain in the simplest manner the many concepts of music. I help students develop good habits of practice so they can improve their skills by giving them personal tips. Each student is unique and learns at a particular pace. I’m in tune with the student and move accordingly helping him/her navigate thru the music lesson while providing assistance towards reaching their specific goals.
