For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Faber series, along with accompanying primer theory and lesson book. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance.

For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Children similarly can learn an instrument beautifully but this requires lots of listening, a safe environment, and parents/caretakers fully engaged to help the child learn and grow from mistakes.
