Instruments:
As a beginner, nothing is more satisfying than being able to play recognizable tunes as soon as possible. I typically lay out a patterned tier of simple and well known musical phrases for a student to gain initial confidence with while introducing basic performance principles. Once the the fundamentals of playing are beginning to click, we will start to customize our approach based on the student's particular goals. Not to worry, many students have a loose idea of what they are striving for at first and their curriculum develops naturally as they master certain skills and knowledge. Every student gets their own unique curriculum based on their interests and goals.
Instruments:
I have been a Co-Teacher and Student Teacher numerous times over my years at Kutztown and have privately taught close friends for the past 3+ years. I am very well versed in music theory and use it heavily in my lessons.
Instruments:
I started teaching friends various instruments and general music theory as a freshman. Then I continued my teaching with tutoring my fellow bass students with more difficult material. Now, after having graduated from Rowan University, I teach with the Resonance School of Music teaching guitar, clarinet electric bass and upright bass. While Resonance is certainly a more traditional approach, I like to think I balance it out by also teaching at a School of Rock, giving instruction on both guitar and electric bass.
Instruments:
My teaching experience is varied and puts the student's needs first. I have taught privately for the last 7 or 8 years, and can proudly say that every one of my students has learned a great deal. Providing consistent support and a positive attitude is my goal for every lesson, and I take the concerns of each student with the utmost sincerity. Having taught in both private and group environments, I have developed an ability to quickly convey important information in a way that every student will comprehend. I remember the feeling of being a new student and the growth I had, and have found that putting myself in the mind of any given student helps me see the path forward.
Instruments:
For all beginner students, I start with Berklee Music Theory Book 1 and a few selections from one of my Real Books to begin to apply some theory techniques. Once I feel that the student has a firm understanding of fundamentals of theory I usually have the student select one piece from the Real Book selections and we then begin working on playing the piece as well as analyzing the piece. A synthesis of performance and analysis is one of my core philosophies with all my lessons. For more advanced students, I usually either have them select a piece of music they wish to learn or assign a piece I find to be most useful and challenging based upon their ability.
