My lessons have a specific flow. Instead of focusing the whole lesson only on a book, I take my time to jump around and make sure the lesson isn't repetitive and boring. We will switch the focus from to warm-ups, to the book, to scales, to chord, etc. I will also frequently express my gratitude and appreciate to you instead of complaining with frustration. I believe finding the correct actions within a student brings out the best in them and motivates them to be the best they can be. Read More

It gives me great joy when my students are accepted into their school bands and jazz combos as a result of my instruction. Read More
