I believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to encourage my students to attain the confidence that is needed as a performer.

I typically start with making sure a student knows his instrument first. What it is, all the diffedrent parts and how they work.

My teaching style relates to my personal practice of building and nurturing a rapport and working relationship with individuals, in any setting, including teaching. If the student(s) and I can foster mutual trust and understanding, we can be productive as we work together. As the great William Vennard once noted, I think of the lesson not only as “the student’s lesson” but as “our lesson.” I try to listen to the student’s desires and needs and to discern what will work best for the personality and interests of the student, both generally, and in that particular session.
