I am very big on learning by ear because it is the way I learned music most of my life.

My method is centered around my students consistently learn new material while retaining what they have learned. I'm sensitive to making sure they are challenged while also giving them material that will enable them to succeed. I customize each lesson to meet the needs and interests of each student. An example of a 45 minute lesson commonly includes the first 5 minutes being dedicated to checking in on how the practice went, and answering any questions the student may about the material.

More advanced students can bring music they are working on, either for school or for themselves and we will find a way to make it more interesting and polished. Read More
