I am a firm believer in the power of music to heal, entertain, and teach. It is our first and most vital universal human language and as such, I believe we all have the ability to learn how to communicate beautifully with music to express our deepest feelings. As a teacher it is my privilege and pleasure to help you develop.

From classical violin to jazz piano my early musical education not only spanned genres and instruments but also geographically from Austin Texas to Madison Wisconsin and finally brought me to Los Angeles where I currently reside and work teaching and playing in several bands. I embrace this diversity as I embrace my own mixed Peruvian and American cultural heritage.

Helping you or your child reach your musical dreams in a friendly-nurturing environment is my sincere desire and obligation as your teacher. Discipline is required and to be expected, however, an overly rigid or demanding routine can do more harm than good. I believe attention must...

Alexander T. was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1984 to a musical family; his father and uncle, composers and his mother, a pianist. By age 10, Alexander had written his first opera, Strega Nona, from the Tomie de Paola book, which he composed for his father's birthday. After this ambitious work, Alexander formally began music lessons, studying trumpet, piano, and guitar. While on his way to becoming a serious jazz trumpeter in high school, he gained strength and discipline in composition. By his senior year he had written a piece for his high school orchestra. During his last semester at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, Alexander was introduced to Robert Kraft, President of Fox music. Mr. Kraft quickly became a mentor and supportive friend, introducing Alexander to film and television composer, Roger Neill.

My love for music began at the age of 2 when my mother first took me to a small local music school. Ever since that day, I have always found myself studying one type of instrument or another. My sound as a drummer, composer, producer and instructor is a culmination of my experience across varied genres. Following a yearlong intensive training at the renowned Collective School of Music in Manhattan, I pursued a BFA degree at the famous New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. I majored in music performance as a drummer and graduated with honors. While at school, I trained under some of New York City's finest. I have successfully extracted various techniques from these distinguished musicians and incorporated them into my own distinct style. During my years at the New School, I also worked at the renowned Drummers Collective School of Music, where I taught privately, and played gigs at various clubs throughout the City. After graduating, I decided to move to Los Angeles where I...

I have been a student of the drums myself for 17 years. I started like many musicians have, learning to play a musical instrument in the school band. I picked up some drum sticks and haven't put them down since. My favorite styles of music are funk and rock. I have studied orchestral drumming, drumset, and music theory for 2 years at the collegiate level. I have taken several private lessons with well renown drummers and clinicians. Ranging from Dom Famularo and Phil Maturano, to Evan Stone and Dave Elitch. Please take the time to look them up and take in their amazing playing abilities. I currently play with 3 bands and record whenever the opportunity arises.
