For beginning students I start with basics: learning how to hold the instrument, put it together, etc. Then when that is solid we learn a few notes. From there we go to the Rubank books.

Teaching is my passion, because it provides the constant challenge of finding ways to unlock a young musician's potential. No two students learn the same way.

Part of what I love about teaching involves the time spent getting to know a student, and working with them to construct a plan that leads to success. Read More
