About Jose P.

Every person is different and special, and thus every student is the same way. In spite of formulas and methods, my job as a creative teacher and performer is to be able to joyfully and patiently attend to the needs of every student, regardless of age or ability. I have been teaching since 1998, individuals and groups, voice and instruments, from ages 3 to older adults. I hold a Bachelors in Music from the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music (voice and violin), and an MA from Queens College, City University of New York (music performance). I am fascinated to keep discovering every day new ways to get to help and inspire every student I teach, and I rejoice with them when they achieve their goals. As a musician, I continue to perform frequently as a violinist (modern and baroque violin), violist and classical baritone (solo and ensemble) in the New York metro area. This helps me keep things in perspective for the students I teach. Being equally proficient as an instrumentalist and singer helps me approach my music teaching from various angles as needed. I am a certified Suzuki violin teacher with 13 years of experience teaching the Method. However, I had the blessing to have very gifted teacher trainers that taught me to look beyond methods and adapt various philosophies according to the needs of the student. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, with excellent, competitive education in Spanish grammar, writing and literature. Currently, I am pursuing a career as a Spanish voice over artist in New York City.
