Very knowledgeable and versatile. She teaches at any speed without a hitch. I’ve had other music teachers in the past but she by far is the best one I’ve learned other.

Vale is an excellent vocal coach. She is very knowledgeable, patient and dedicated. I started off with no experience and am now much more comfortable singing. She also provided a deeper appreciation for theory, vocal techniques and music in general!

An excellent teacher who knows how to find the way to express complex or difficult to understand musical ideas. Excellent option for beyond on the shoulders of a giant. 👌🏻

Straight to the point with all the content but mostly the passion on the subjects that she showed during the course, it is hard to find someone like that here in Bolivia.

How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching as a freelance private instructor in my home country, and quickly realized how much I enjoyed helping students grow. Since 2017, I’ve taught both in my country and now in Miami. Today, as a full-time freelance music producer, songwriter, musician, and instructor, I’ve chosen to expand my teaching practice so I can share the knowledge I’ve built over the past 10+ years—while continuing to learn from each of my students.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners, college students and professionals, from ages 10 to 60 years old, interested to explore their talents and work hard on their skills.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
In one of my recent teaching roles, I instructed a group of 45 undergraduate students from the Public University of El Alto in Bolivia, serving as the assistant professor for Arranging Techniques. It was a demanding but incredibly meaningful experience. By the end of the course, the students’ gratitude and feedback made every hour worthwhile—knowing I contributed to their growth and seeing how happy they were to have me as their instructor was truly rewarding.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would tell them to check the background of this teacher, do a research on their job and if possible try to have a meeting with the teacher before hiring them! I'm always open and happy to meet a student to briefly discuss about my class structure and clarify all questions.
