-Berklee graduate with college tutoring experience                               -15 years of trumpet playing, able to teach all genres 

I’ve really enjoyed taking lessons with Javier! He’s patient, encouraging, and really takes the time to make sure I understand what we’re working on. I especially appreciate how he connects music theory to what I’m actually playing on the trumpet. It’s helped things click for me in a way they hadn’t before. I’ve learned a lot from him and always look forward to our lessons. Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend Javier as a teacher, with no hesitation at all. I've played music with Javier at the esteemed Berklee College of Years for many years, playing in ensembles, touring Asia, and recording numerous times together. I also know that he is a tutor that has taught many students core harmony at Berklee, and he's a gentle soul that has a unique voice on the trumpet; a voice that ranges from an ear-catching quiet to an emotionally intense loud, with a rhythmic vocabulary that makes you feel something within your heart. Javier is someone that understands the tradition and the new, and I'm certain that he will either help to change your perspective on music as a whole or get you inspired and started on a foundation as a beginner.

Javier was my tutor at Berklee- I truly cannot recommend him enough! He is compassionate, supportive, and takes the time to explain things thoroughly. I value the fact that he tries different methods of elucidating the topic until it is understood.

Javi tutored me for a year in Harmony and Ear Training at Berklee and was honestly such a driving force in me passing the classes and succeeding throughout my sophomore year. Not only was Javier patient with me when I struggled, but he also was incredibly encouraging when it came to helping me succeed. He genuinely cared about my success and wellbeing as an individual and as a student, and if I played trumpet, I'd definitely work with him again!

Javier was my tutor at Berklee College of Music and was super understanding and helpful! He’s very knowledgeable in Music Theory and is super supportive whenever you ask any questions!
