Music Instruction Books and Folios

I started as Junior Music Editor (1993) for a major music publisher where I was promoted to Senior Music Editor (1996), Publications Director Latin Division (2001) and, finally, to Managing Editor (2003). I’ve also written articles and reviews for magazines, published 14 music instruction methods and served as a ghost writer for over 70 folios. Below you’ll find some of the projects that I’ve had the privilege of working on.

Many artist-related folios need to be developed in cooperation with their management companies and I have acted as the liaison between the artists’ representatives, Music Sales, and the team of transcribers/arrangers.
