There are many acceptable method books for beginning students, however, I have found that if a student gets relatively comfortable on their instrument before trying to decipher a grand staff, they seem to enjoy the learning experience more.

Finding someone who can play your instrument better than you can often be more inspirational than finding a new piece that is slightly out of your comfort zone or using a method book that, at the end of the day, is supposed to help a student reach the ability level of the person the student aspires to be.

I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class.

Some students are very driven and need to learn control- to slow down and learn awareness, rhythmic sensitivity. Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More
