I have studied with classical players as well, and have worked through method books and excerpts. Read More

I simply give homework so as to remind what their path is and what is the best method to achieve their goals.

I teach from a flexible curriculum depending on the student's goals and interests.

If the student is younger I will provide them with an organized syllabus and “fun” damentals! If they are older, I will help them find a way to stick with the music and accomplish their goals.
