However based on my experience, nothing propels a student forward faster than the happiness and satisfaction gained from 'nailing' a new lick or figuring out a cool new trick. Read More

No matter the age of the student, I believe in project-based learning: I help my them write songs, make arrangements, record albums, and prepare for recitals.

I like to tailor my lesson plans to the student, and their individual needs. For younger, new students, I like to teach technique, and classic songs, while teaching the early stages of theory, and music reading. For intermediate students, I like to drill scales, harmony, and sight reading techniques, to advance their own skills. If you are looking to apply to music school, I do prep courses on what to expect from the audition process, and what to look for when you apply. Read More

My students get a strong base in theory, technique, and repertoire...usually focused on identified goals and outcomes.

I will keep the focus on the accomplishment so that work may become ethic that lasts a lifetime. Read More
