While there is no "One-size-fits-all" for all students, I start most students off with Essential Elements or Suzuki. As they progress I try to include pieces they like, pop songs, and different genres. The variety helps them stay engaged, learn a bit about different styles to broaden their knowledge, but also, have fun. As they get intermediate levels the paths diverge. Some of my students are doing Jazz improvisation, some of them, composition, and others are getting ready to audition for college. Read More

From there I can create a practice regimen that will facilitate my student's development in the most effective way possible. Read More

Since, I have taught over a thousand students privately, in after-school jazz workshops, at music schools, and more. Read More
