Why Do I Teach?

The simple answer: To celebrate and encourage artistic exploration. Justino believes in collaborating with students to help them find their true sound. Every person is unique, and should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that is catered to their needs, especially in a study that is as personal, expressive, and as vulnerable as music. To Justino, music is an art, a passion, and a way of life that is joyful, fulfilling, and freeing. He longs to share these sentiments with his students, and help them to live and breathe the splendors of their craft.
