The most important thing for me when it comes to teaching is knowing that my student is progressing but also enjoying their experience overall, another very important factor is overall retention of the information. Every person is different so there is really no cut and dry method of teaching, keeping this in mind the experience for everyone should be unique in a way. By setting routines together Im sure we could come to an agreement on how we could both help each other achieve our goals and succeed. Read More

Instruments: Cello

I prefer to solidify technique with studies so that in the repertoire, students are comfortable enough with the technical demands to develop their individual musical voices. In other words, I use like to use exercises to develop a new technique, etudes/studies to push students out of their comfort zone, while keeping repertoire assignments within their comfort zone to allow them to exercise their creativity in different areas. I welcome student input in my assignments and balance fun in lessons with the delayed gratification inherent in musical preparation depending on the individual student’s goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola, Double Bass, Music

I have been teaching music for the past 25 years. First in the Public Schools in Tennessee and Florida and at the college level. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
