Who do you most admire in the entertainment business?
I would say that the harpist who I admire most is Nicanor Zavaleta.

Who was your best teacher ever and why?
There are two teachers I have learned a great deal from. I studied Mexican music with Mario Barradas and South American music with Celso Duarte.

How many hours a day did you practice growing up? Now, how many hours a day do you practice?
When I was growing up and studying the harp I would practice six hours a day every day. Now I practice approximately two hours a day.

Share your favorite saying:
It is much easier to play the harp than to carry it. "Es mas facil tocar el Arpa que cargarla."
