While my teaching style does depend on the age and level of the student, there are a few values that I maintain.

The student must convey to me what he/she desires to focus on, and there will be a "win/win" situation which is always preferred. Read More

It is my duty to share creativity and fun ways of practicing the basics so my students can grow while enjoying what they are doing! Read More

In each lesson I will introduce some new techniques and will work with you on scales, fundamentals, exercises from a method book, and music (classical, jazz, or both, depending on the player's preferences).
