For beginning students, whether instrumentalists or vocalists, I focus first on establishing strong fundamentals. I often use structured, proven method books such as Hal Leonards Essential Elements, along with age appropriate warmups, technique builders, and simple ensemble pieces to build confidence and foundational skills. As students progress, I introduce solo and ensemble repertoire that matches their level and prepares them for their first performance opportunities. For intermediate and advanced students, I customize lessons based on their goals, instrument, and musical interests. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Drums, Music, Keyboard

My philosophy on how I teach is similar to the technics I learned during my undergraduate studies. I believe in letting the students learn the best way they can and how ever they feel more comfortable learning. With that being said I only want to enhance what they know not make them like me or every one else. Music is a art form as well as a true discipline thus I want to encourage consistency but most of all I want to stress artistry. Read More

Most of my lesson plans are customized for each student, depending the style they are interested in, and the level that they are already playing. Generally speaking for beginners, I begin with teaching about the instrument (string names, frets, tuning, etc.). Then we move on to chords, starting with the easiest ones to play. Once they have grasped how the instrument and chords work, we continue on to melodies and simple 3 chord songs. Read More
