Teaching Statement
I believe that learning an instrument has to be fun, that's why I always try to create a friendly atmosphere during my classes. I believe that everybody learns at different pace and it is important to respect each of our rhythms. I try to always adapt myself to the needs, strongest and weakest points of my students. A good student-teacher relationship based on respect and mutual interest is a necessary tool to learn music, and to have fun in doing it.

Biography
I am originally from Santiago de Cuba and immigrated to Canada in 2008. My Cuban roots deeply influence my work. I was trained in classic music (which is common in Cuba), played in various bands of salsa and timba in Havana, and become fundamentally interested in jazz music. When I moved to Canada, I was accepted for the Jazz Performance program at the School of Music at the University of Sherbrooke in the province of Quebec. I just finished my B.A. and moved with my familly to Victoria, located on the West Coast of Canada. I now teach music and perform at different venues and events.
Studio Policies
I ask my students to meet on time and to come with a positive mind: be ready to learn music, discover new things and have fun!
