Music Lessons in Stoneham, MA. It's your time.

I can show you (most notably drummers, but also open to working with other musicians) what skills, techniques, & concepts are important to master to ace the audition at Berklee College of Music. As this is one of the best contemporary music school in the world, these techniques/concepts will help you get into any music school.

Students must learn to know all of their major and minor scales before they are introduced to songwriting.

I focus on playing bass like a bass player and not as a guitar player that plays bass just because he can't find anybody else to do it in the band. I teach mainly using examples and talk a lot about how a bass fits in with other players.

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

My tailored approach to the individual needs of each student, problem solving of the most difficult issues involved with the clarinet and music combined with years of professional experience abroad are my hallmarks. If you are having problems with your embouchure, articulation, legato, breath control, air leak, reeds and phrasing then I am a teacher who will help you master these areas in a motivating environment. Bilingual with classes conducted in English or Spanish.

My goal is to inspire students to create and share music that reflects their unique interests and voice, while providing a strong foundation of the fundamentals of music. We will work on theory, sight-reading, ear training, and whatever interests YOU to help you reach your goals.
