      Education: Associate Of Arts Miami Dade Community College

      Teaching Experience: 15+ years
      Teaching Philosophy: My goal is for lessons to be fun, educational and practical. My students will learn about rhythm, counting, reading standard notation, technique, independence, time keeping skills, dynamics, feel, song form, ear training and general musicianship. We will explore these concepts through written exercises, rudiments, books, and of course by playing along to songs. Once the student has developed a solid foundation, we can focus on more of their personal musical interests and goals.
