For beginning horn students I use the Rubank method as well as my own combination of etudes.

I tailor my lessons to each individual student and go from where they are at to build off of that and expand their skill set.

This often includes songs that are in other languages. Another challenge opportunity I encourage them with is to learn a song that pushes their boundaries and is different in some way from songs that they typically perform. Read More
