Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Accordion, Ukulele, Recorder, French Horn, Tuba, Oboe, Bassoon

My first teaching was in summer music schools, then as an intermediate classroom teacher and music specialist (bands, choirs, musicals, folk dances, recorder, ukulele, classroom music and theory). I earned my Masters and began teaching university but have always taught privately as well. I work with parents to encourage the student to be self-motivated, so I make lessons fun. Students want to practice because they enjoy the progress they are making and look forward to lessons. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I encourage students to explore music from various eras and styles and sometimes supplement the teaching with reading, listening, and watching materials to make sure they have a comprehensive understanding of the playing and an enriched experience with music. For beginning students, I typically start with the method book "Flute 101" by P.A. Louke and P. George. As the student progresses on the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for them. Read More

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: Flute, Recorder, Piccolo

My teaching style allows students to make music from the beginning, helping to motivate them with attractive songs, which can be used as technique building exercises. I encourage my students to practice and set goals at each lesson. They would be able to work at their own pace. Playing duets with the teacher is also a fun activity, and listening to good players recordings will inspire them. I also encourage my students to prepare themselves for playing recitals, enter competitions and play with bands or music ensembles. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Viola, Flute, Piccolo

For beginning students, I like to start from Essential elements, Suzuki 1, or Piano Adventures. Students will also likely have a theory workbook or worksheets that match the level of their current repertoire. Intermediate students, we will start using a program called smart music that plays the accompaniment for pieces that we are working on. This will really help develop a great internal sense of rhythm and help students recognize immediately when something needs correcting. Read More
