For beginner students we start by grasping the concept that make up music in a practical way. The specific bibliography changes from student to student and form instrument to instrument. In the path of becoming better there's is a lot of resources out there that range from composition to specific theory books. Its just a matter of a personalized attention to the specific needs of the student. I am big into Open Source and No-Copyright material that can be used. Read More

I encourage all my students to learn the basic rudiments of music including music theory, sight-reading and playing ‘by ear’. I recommend Mel Bay’s “Children’s Guitar Method” and Hal Leonard’s “Guitar Method Book 1” for school age children. However, many of my students have decided to concentrate on learning basic theory involving chords and scales to develop ability to play ‘by ear’. When working with voice students I focus on basic theory, breath control, and vocal scales to develop student’s ability to discern musical intervals. Read More

I'm mostly focused on keeping my students engaged with music. Some decide it can be a lifetime career, while others simply want to enjoy all the benefits that come from learning an instrument. Our lessons are meant to challenge you enough so you feel motivated but not so much that the challenge appears as impossible and students feel like quitting. This to me is the basic principle of how to achieve a balanced and successful life. Read More

I am able to asses the students current level of capability, understanding, and musical goals and tailor a curriculum to suit the specific needs and desires of the student. In terms of younger students who are first discvovering their interest in music, it is important to develop a basic foundation of understanding in terms of reading, writing, and communication with other musicians through the application of time tested teaching methods forcing the student to apply what they have learned in weekly "missions." For intermediate to advanced players, I'm able to help them to identify and subvert sticking points through the application of music theory, technique, and listening exercises as well as impart knowledge of the inner workings of music business and performance.

I customize each lesson specifically for my students so that they remain satisfied and fulfilled with what they are learning.Each student has different interests and its my job to build a music curriculum around them. I usually encourage my students to have both a method book for fundamental skills, and a performance book with pieces that they want to learn. We will decide this after the first introductory lesson.

Getting my students to express themselves and achieve their own style is my main goal, but really identifying with their instrument goes much further.I am only going to show you the way, showing you the options and above all giving you the tools to function and be able to walk it. Music is something that is enjoyed and an escape, it does not have to represent torture or an obligation, that is the central point of all this... and we go back to world peace, but they ask you to write too much and I'm a music teacher, I don't teach poetry hahaha.
