My mission is to share my experience as a musician while inspiring my listeners and students to tap into their own musical creativity threw the exploration of Latin Music.I've realized that I progress and improve as a teacher and performer when I share my knowledge and experience with people.I work with organizations and schools,particularly with teachers,to design presentations that incorporate classroom curriculum and provide exciting aural illustrations of rhythms and songs from Latin America.These presentations combine live performance or hands-on workshops that inspire participants to discover the power of Latin America Music.
