For both voice and guitar, I begin with evaluation of where the student is. I then discuss with the student to realize what their goals are, and why they want to progress in this field. I then assign daily exercises that the student can utilize to begin to build control and virtuosity with their instrument. We will then collaborate to begin choosing repertoire to work on, and find music that makes the student enthused to practice in-between our sessions. Read More

I feel this lightens up the atmosphere and allows the student to grow at a much more rapid rate. Read More

I spend time at the beginning of our first lesson getting to know about you and your goals. Instead of teaching scales and chords alone, I have students learn a song so that I can illustrate how music concepts are applied in context.

If you are young(or old) and want to play classical music, then we start with the basics. One of my favorite books to teach from is Alfred's Basics.

Checking in is always important and I want to make sure my students are challenged and encouraged, but most of all having fun! Read More
