Approved Subjects

Composition (Music)

Composition (Music)

Composer and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience whose music has played on Broadway, Sundance, and major international releases. Clients include Electronic Arts, Yahoo, and Machinima. I teach students to write professional-level music—from film scores to pop songs—blending classical foundations with modern production tools. Mentored personally by Grammy-winner David Hentschel and Emmy-winner Mike Esnault, I help students find their unique voice while mastering harmony, orchestration, and emotional storytelling in music.
Ear Training

Ear Training

With over 20 years of composition and production experience, I help students develop the ability to truly hear music. I tested out of all college Music Theory requirements at LSU after acing placement exams. My ear training method builds absolute confidence in intervals, chords, and melodies — whether you’re a beginner or preparing for conservatory-level work – so you can transcribe everything you hear and hear everything you write.
Marketing

Marketing

Fractional CEO and CMO with 20 years of experience across music, media, and brand development. I hold a Marketing degree (3.7 GPA, LSU) and earned two full-tuition scholarships. I’ve led marketing for Electronic Arts (MVP Award recipient), Andretti Karting, and multiple startups. While data-driven – the money is in the data – I teach everything from fundamentals to advanced digital strategy, brand storytelling, and growth marketing — bridging creativity and analytics for real-world success.
Music Production

Music Production

Award-winning Composer and Producer with over 20 years of experience working with clients like Electronic Arts, Yahoo, Hyundai, and Microsoft Studios. My work spans orchestral scores, pop/rock tracks, and 5.1 Dolby Digital mixes featured worldwide on TV, film, and Broadway — including a Sundance Official Selection. Trained at LSU, SAE, and EMBA, I teach advanced production, mixing, and mastering at SAE Atlanta. My approach combines real-world industry insight with creative mentorship so you not only learn how, but why, great productions work.
Music Theory

Music Theory

Former lead Music Theory Instructor at SAE and certified music theory tutor at LSU. Tested out of all 3.5 years of college music theory as a student. With over 20 years in music, I’ve studied under Grammy and Emmy winners and specialize in helping students master harmony, analysis, and composition quickly and deeply, in addition to working as a composer currently.
Spanish

Spanish

Polyglot instructor fluent in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, and French, with over 20 years of teaching and translation experience. I’ve trained executives and written copy for Coca-Cola, Chick-Fil-A, Turner, CNN, The Home Depot, IHG, Verizon, and multiple other international companies. My accelerated method (from my program Spanish Hacks) helps students reach fluency fast — by mastering diction and vocabulary the way polyglots actually learn. Students also get free access to my $97/month practice community for live conversation and support.

Incredibly capable teacher

I asked Diego to work with my 8th grader to develop an independent study at school. He was not only highly responsive to exactly what I asked for, but Diego continually went above and beyond to help my student achieve an important milestone. He is incredibly proficient as a teacher - with his own, proprietary materials - but he is also exceptional as a person. He was welcoming, inclusive, patient, and so very kind. He is also energetic, and he continued to bring vitality to the work over many months. Thank you Diego for your wonderful teaching and care of us this semester. I am really hopeful we will have the opportunity to work together again!

I truly hope that we have the opportunity to work together again, as I truly enjoyed getting to work together. I am very grateful that you contacted me, and hope I made a positive and lasting impression on Sage. I look forward to us remaining in touch and hopefully working together again. Diego

Great 1st Lesson

Diego was delightful. He really listened and created back what I wanted and needed to move forward. We are having another session on Friday, April 21st.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Diana! It was a pleasure to meet you! I can’t wait to see everything we will achieve together! 🙂🙂🙂

Knowledgeable and Patient

Diego took the time to get to know our son and what he had previously been taught by his former tutor. He was so friendly and prior to the first lesson let us know his teaching style and allowed us to get to know him a little to feel comfortable to allow him to teach our son. We are thrilled with the lessons thus far and feel he is going to be a great teacher for our 8 year old son! He is intuitive and funny and our son has enjoyed his lessons with him.

Extremely Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic!

Diego is a wealth of knowledge but also has teaching skills to go with it, so all of that knowledge is accessible! Awesome vibe. Highly recommend if you are looking for music and recording tutor.

Thankful

Diego is very knowledgeable. He’s patient with his students and understands that learning a new language is difficult so I don’t ever feel rushed or uneasy if I don’t catch on quickly. Diego encourages me to continue and makes you feel that success comes with practice, practice, practice. I don’t think I could have found a better teacher. Thank you Diego!!!!

¡Hola, Manuel! I’m so happy to know you feel that way!! Thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful review, and for sharing how you feel about the process in general! Not only does it show your gratitude, it also makes me happy because it shows that you understand what learning a language entails! As I mentioned in our lessons, it’s a marathon, not a sprint 🙂 ¡Muchísimas gracias por tus comentarios, amigo! Keep up the great work!! You are on track to be fluent in two months, just like we planned. 🙂

Spectacular session!

Talking with Diego about my baby steps into the field of audio engineering was SO encouraging! He is thoroughly knowledgeable, in all the various directions of audio editing and recording. He is very natural to talk with, highly organized and cheerful. I look forward to the next session!

Diego is great at recording vocals

Diego clearly understands how to record vocals with the right effects. Recording vocals can be difficult without prior training. Diego walked me through how to use a limit effect and the difference between gain and volume
