  I believe that every student has the ability to learn music regardless of talent or background. During the first lesson I use specific techniques to understand student learning styles and levels of musicianship. From there, my lessons are specifically geared to meet the student at their current level. Your child will have lessons that will show growth, confidence, and fun.  My teaching career began in college. I taught trombone lessons and was an instructor for the Hampton University Band Camp.

Teaching must be a two way street between the instructor and the student. There must be an understanding of the relationship and a willingness on both ends to take everything that they can out of the experience.

For adults especially, constructive criticism is just as important as the praise when you do a good job. Read More
