Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a student grow in confidence and develop a genuine love for music. Because every student is unique, I believe it is important that each one progresses at a pace that feels natural and encouraging. I support this by setting clear and achievable goals during each lesson, helping students experience steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. Celebrating accomplishments, both big and small, is a key part of my teaching style. Read More

My teaching style includes positive reinforcement, making and achieving small measurable goals that lead to big measurable goals, and teaching and instilling correct daily practice methods. I encourage each student to do their best each day and push through the difficult places. When something is too difficult for a student, I break it down into smaller, more understandable pieces, or change tactics to a different subject or piece. I use many resources and try to differentiate activities to keep students engaged and learning. Read More

It is very important for students to grasp the fundamentals. For intermediate students, we would progress on a track and focus on what they had for goals. For advanced students we could use anything from method books to cds to ear training and transposition to bring out the best in the learner. Read More
