With my knowledge and experience, I am confident I can guide you through whatever instrument or skill you desire, be it guitar, piano, bass, voice, or songwriting. I look forward to meeting you soon!

my first drum lesson was the best gift I ever received. I was so very fortunate because if not for these drum lessons as a beginner I would not be the professional performer and teacher that I am today. Taking one on one private lessons for five years prepared me for college and beyond. Even more so, taught me what it takes to be a great teacher.
I went on to earn a BM in Jazz studies at the University of North Florida. While majoring in the drum set I also studied piano and percussion. After graduating I’ve been able to work professionally in many settings and musical genres, including jazz, rock, pop, reggae, R & B, hip hop, gospel, blues, funk and soul, folk and blue grass, Latin, middle eastern, and other world music. These experiences lend me to have an open minded and all encompassing view of the potential and possibilities of music. I have been fortunate to share my knowledge and experience to many students. I began teaching six years ago and have had students...

I have been teaching for 41 years and opened 14 music schools. Ages 3-96. Taught and performed

I've been teaching drums for almost 20 years to a variety of ages and special needs. I've been told that patience is one of my best attributes in teaching. I studied at Augusta State College in Augusta, GA.

In 1980 I completed musical studies at the Conservatory of Music of San Juan, Puerto Rico and graduated MAGNA CUM LAUDE, with Majors in Musical Education and as a Performing Artist.
I have performed as first guitarist in several Orchestras, Musical Groups, Bands and as Classical Guitar soloist I have given numerous recitals and concerts.
I have worked as a Music Educator at the Social & Pedagogic Academic Institutes teaching Pedagogic & Didactic Principles to Teachers and at the same time I have been teaching classical and popular guitar at all levels and ages at several other Music Schools.
I wrote a guitar method “MELODIC GUITAR” for beginners from 7 years of age and up, and this Method has been translated from "Papiamento" into the English and Spanish languages.
Although my music background is classical, I play and teach popular music, which I love.
Just to mention a few Guitarists who appeal to me: Carlos Santana, George Benson, Paco de Lucia,
Julian Bream.

More important than my conservatory education and my teaching and performance experiences is my passion for teaching music and my undying belief that anyone can learn to sing, play piano, and read music. I'm a graduate of the prestigious Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey and a winner of its merit scholarship. After performing with the New York and Royal Philharmonics, the New Jersey and Virginia Symphonies, the American Boy Choir and the internationally renowned opera star, Andrea Bocelli, studying opera and piano at Westminster Choir College and performance art and improvisational acting at East Carolina University in North Carolina, and appearing in shows and pageants across the east coast, I found my life's work in 2003 when I began teaching music. I've successfully taught hundreds of different students since 2003, from 5-year-olds with special needs to 65-year-old doctors of music. I've created and led a workshop about singing called, "The Whole Body...
