My teaching style involves the student being able to measure their growth and assess what they can do to continue their growth. I make sure students practice on a regular basis and at the end of lessons, I have them repeat back to me what they need to continue learning. This helps them practice on their own without me in between weekly classes. When an improvement happens during the lesson, I acknowledge it right away (with younger students, I also use a visual, such as stars, so they can see their progress) and have the student say out loud what made it a good run through so they can continue to perform that way!

I love to share my music knowledge and I like to met new people. I am an open minded teacher and can adapt the teaching plan for students with different abilities and needs. The most important thing for me is that a student enjoys the music we are playing and learning process they are involved in and therefore make any adjustments necessary to make that a reality. I would like that my students learn something new, something that will be valuable for him/her in the future every time we have a lesson. Read More

I base my curriculum on an individual students needs, skills, and personal preferences in style/genre. I have experience teaching both the Classic and Suzuki methods.

I love to see students succeed. Yet they deserve to be challenged appropriately, they should be proud of their progress and still have fun. So I learn the students style of learning and pace then adjust the approach and music I will have for them. I constantly acknowledge any and all improvements , and welcome mistakes. I truly want the student to think about every decision they make, so they can properly train their subconscious in the right way. Read More

It has a CD, with the band in the background , so it makes it fun for a practice session at home. I also learned "Brain Gym" from one of my flute teachers. I always like to incorporate that especially if the student has some confusion or is stuck on an area like a certain rhythmic phrase, or anything hard to unravel, as well as reading music. In addition, I like to use yellow clear gels over the music should the student have a little trouble with eye tracking or staying focused. Read More
