I usually take the first lesson to gauge what the student wants from learning their specific instrument.

I have tons of practice books, scales, and warmups that I like to use to help the student become more proficient and confident in their craft. Read More

Although I have my own methods and "prescribed" teaching materials, I love to keep a dialogue with the student. I always ask what their goals with music are, as I will then tailor the lessons accordingly.

Or, I've had students who want to learn how to play a specific style or song, and those lessons can be much more mellow. Read More
