I've always found that my students who seem to have the most fun are the ones who progress the fastest, so my primary method is to approach lessons with material that students are interested in.

My method for teaching is individualization. All my lessons are individualized for each student's ability level and musical interests.

With every student I seek to assess their individual waxing or waning interest in the material and adjust accordingly. Read More
