Lessons follow a predictable flow. We always begin with tone warm-ups. I enjoy incorporating fun activities to teach tone, such as blowing across different sized objects to learn what it feels like when the air stream splits. We sing while playing to learn throat and jaw posture, have competitions to see who can hold a note longest to develop air support, etc. After tone, we work on technique, usually scales or etudes.

I usually start out using the Rubank Method, but I frequently incorporate some Suzuki and other ear training methods as well. I also like to use Trevor Wye's books for more advanced students.

I use a variety of books with etudes, or studies, to give students a strong background in technique while also teaching various musical concepts such as theory and improvisation. Read More
