Teaching​

​

My teaching philosophy revolves around the teacher as a catalyst for learning, empowering students with tools and knowledge to cultivate skills for success. A pivotal aspect is fostering active listening skills, enabling students to recognize potential areas for improvement and growth. I adopt an inquisitive approach, stimulating students to delve into self-assessment, enriching their understanding of their own performance. My teaching solidifies robust technical foundations, allowing ideas to materialize into expressive reality. I excel as a problem-solver, deftly observing, visualizing, and offering flexible solutions to technical challenges. My teaching also embraces pragmatism, providing actionable feedback to guide progress. Realizing that learning is a journey rather than a destination, I foster a growth mindset in students by constantly acknowledging progress and development. Equipping students with crucial 21st-century musician skills, I nurture creativity, self-motivation, and individuality. Ultimately, my aspiration is to kindle their transformation into proficient musicians and imaginative, self-driven artists. This philosophy underscores my commitment to facilitating holistic growth and inspiring enduring musical excellence.

I recently accepted an invitation to join the faculty of the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio (MACSA) and relocated to Texas. Contact MACSA to inquire about lessons with me.
