Private lessons should be tailored to the individual, so that the student can form a solid foundation.

It is important to me that my students know I believe in them, and that our goals are agreed upon as a group. Read More

During the lesson, we will review the last concept that was learned, go over the lesson for the day and then create a lesson for the following week and be sure that each lesson is explained and understood.

While I do teach using standard, classical repertoire more often than not, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop a deep love and passion for music; hence, I often find it incredibly helpful to branch out into other genres! I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More
