I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive. I hold my students to high expectations so when they meet their goal they actually kill two birds with one stone (ex: figuring out a difficult passage in school music while progressing in technique exercises). I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Bass Guitar

When I was in high school, I was the trumpet section leader for three years, which entailed lots of teaching in terms of marching. I also started giving music lessons to other students, starting with my friends. Giving music lessons spread from there. Since then, I've taught many students how to play guitar, bass guitar, and trumpet. Most of these students only needed a couple lessons to perfect a specific technique or to just get started.

Instruments: Trumpet

I do not adhere to a methodology nor a pedagogy (which to me is a four letter word). I apply a the credo "Song and Wind" to quote the late, great Arnold Jacobs, Principal Tuba of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra during much of their heyday.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Trumpet, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

I generally like to start my beginning students with lesson plans from the book" The Secrets of playing Piano by Ear" by Jermaine Griggs. 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. I try to focus on what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson fresh and FUN! Read More
