I think it is also necessary to set realistic goals to allow students to actively see their own progress. Read More

I have found, especially for beginner and younger students (I.E. friends and family members I have taught), it is best to first see where they are in ability to play the instrument. From there, we work on correcting bad habits that develop from being self taught, things such as poor picking technique, finger placement, hand placement, minimal understanding of rhythm and basic theory concepts. Then we discuss what the student would like to learn, and after a solid foundation of basic concepts has been developed, I can create more personalized lessons from there! Read More

He understands just like I did at his age that with practice comes perfection and that nothing will happen in a day. In time my students will achieve exactly what they want from my lessons.

Throughout the course of my lessons, I hope to pass on what I've learned to my students so that they may do the same in the future. Read More

This excitement about music and learning is what I prioritize the most. Read More

My teaching style is grounded in my own absolute love for music! This passion translates through in my teaching, which hopefully results in successful student learning.

I realize what it takes to be a successful teacher, and believe in the importance of exposing young people, as well as folks of all ages, to music and the arts. Read More
