Studying music and a specific instrument is not a straight line. There are multiple lines that cross and support each other's continuation.

I started putting up ads in the street and, in no time, I was getting dozens of calls a day. Read More

Applied behavior analysis is key to teaching complex tasks and acquiring fine motor skills to perform the student’s intentions. Reward systems are implemented with social reinforcement and earned graduation plans (free strings, picks, CD’s, books, etc.). I cater to the wishes and dreams of the student, while directing them to meet the requirements to obtain those wishes and dreams. Nothing is forced, compliance is always granted and earned, determined work ethic is displayed throughout. Read More
