Personal Growth Experiences

For about 4 years now, I have been giving private lessons all over the region of South Florida, ranging from Homestead to North Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After my firs year giving lessons, it hit me as a surprise that I wasn't promoting myself in giving lessons aside from guitar. After that, I started coming up with ways in giving private lessons in bass guitar, drums, beginning piano, sound engineering,  recording, compositon, and music business advisement as well as the lessons I was presently giving in guitar at the time. From that moment on, I pretty much figured out that this is what I wanted to do. I have to admit, going to school full-time and working full-time and on top of that giving private lessons..., it does wear one out, but I have found such an amazing balance between everything, that I hardly feel any overwhealming from it.

Since 2008, I have been employed by River Cities Charter School in being the head music teacher. Having given private lessons for 4 years and getting proper education techinues has helped me tremendously in giving my students the proper education they deserve. Next year will be my 3 rd year with them and I will have my own "Music Tech" program. It will be a small student population program, but that's why I love it. It makes me focus much more on one-to-one interaction with the students and their needs.
