Since lesson time is limited, I won't waste time telling stories or lecturing you about different musical concepts. Read More

My teaching methods involve a mix of real music, etudes, dexterity exercises, and rudimentary technical drilling. In each of these lessons I choose in one of the aforementioned areas the one I feel is the most pressing and in need of improvement.
