I like to understand a student on a musical level, thus letting their ability level and their drive push me in the direction most useful for the student's success.

I gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. Read More

My methods differ for each instrument. For piano I will start with Alfred's basic piano course if the student is a beginner. It helps students visualize the basic techniques for sitting and playing the piano in a way that will prevent injury.

After this, I start to assign different songs and/or assignments that match the student's learning style and interest in music. Read More

As such, I like to have students play around with making sound on empty bottles, and with tools such as the Pneumo-pro. As a big believer in scales as the building blocks of good technique and music itself, I provide basic exercises as early on as possible. For intermediate and advanced students, I like to use the first lesson as an opportunity to hear a piece or two that they've played before, then work on some of the things they've already learned so I can determine what sorts of ideas they respond to and what they can work on improving.
