I facilitate all lessons primarily for the individual student. Beginning with where ever they are starting at. Their individual goals, and how much practice time they have available. I like to make the lessons interesting, educational and enjoyable. Everyone is different and unique. And we all learn at our own pace.

For piano I prefer Faber Piano Adventures and have different books I would recommend starting with depending on the students age and experience. For guitar and ukulele I prefer using the Hal Leonard method books. I often supplement these method books with outside sources and pieces as is appropriate for the student. For singing students, I have a wide variety of books and resources depending on the musical style. I come from a classical voice background, so when students are middle school age and older (sometimes earlier) we begin learning Italian Art songs in addition to musical theater pieces and English folk songs.

My expertise is vast -- encompassing hundreds of performances in a variety of styles from operatic/classical to loud and rowdy rock to sublime Christian church music (old and new); encompassing over a decade's worth of teaching experience, from ages 6 to 72 (so far), on several instruments AND voice.

For younger students I start off really easy because I want the student to not be intimidated by the learning curve of instrument mastery. I strive to make the student feel like they are succeeding every step of the way.
