I usually have a certain routine that I take the students through. I teach them technics, theory, warm-ups, and performance songs almost every time we get together for a lesson. By the time I have been teaching a student for 6 months they always know what the lesson is going to look like before I get there. I always give them somethings to practic throughout the week to go over when we come together the next time. Read More

It has become very addictive to me to see my students succeed. It is not all about them learning how to play an instrument, but also to have them believe in themselves. Trusting they can go beyond and know they can learn more than they could possible imagine. My students gain a lot of confidence when this happens. This does not happen from one day to another, but with a lot of discipline, effort, dedication and love for the music and the instrument that will make the sound become music. Read More

My general approach to teaching is to mold my lesson plan around the students needs and wants, and it's extremely important that our lessons are fun for the student! This is especially true for children; if playing an instrument becomes "work"/"homework" they will probably lose interest pretty quickly. It's important to try to avoid that mindset, and keep it fun so that the student WANTS to pick up their instrument and play everyday. Read More
