Taiwan, July 2006,Teaching  master classes   

Teaching has always been a very important part of my life and my career. I love teaching as much I love performing. I do believe that only through teaching a performer can truly understand most aspect of playing and instrument. 

I have a great studio raging from graduate students in piano at UTEP to the most precious 5 y.o beginners. My teaching is based in  mutual respect. Students are first human beings, then pianists, so for me the human aspect is crucial for the development of a great musician. 

Currently, I am a Assistant  Professor of Piano and Piano Pedagogy at the University of Texas at El Paso. I In the past years I served as Graduate Teaching Assistant for Class Piano and Studio Piano at the University of Arizona, and as Artist in Residency and Research Assistant (RA) for the College of Fine Arts at the University of Arizona. I have worked for  Santa Cruz School District in Nogalez, Arizona, through their grant  "La Vida en Artes," with the Corridos Project. The final product  was the production of a  play and performance of the corridos written and composed  by the students middle school students.
