For younger students, I typically assist and follow the method books students are working on. For example, they may use Standards of Excellence or Hal Leonard’s Essential Elements. These lesson books are crucial to teaching the fundamentals as a student is beginning to learn an instrument. I will break away from the books and introduce appropriate solo repertoire. I will also be mindful to the interests of the students to keep them engaged. Read More

My students are encouraged to participate in competitions, recitals, and workshops. Read More

I push each student as far as they are both willing and able to be pushed without crossing the line over either of those limits. Read More
