I have designed curriculums that work in phases according to the skill level of the student. In the beginning stages the curriculum is designed primarily based around the music theory required for playing the instrument at a high level.

In the later stages I teach the student techniques and methods to improve form, speed, and overall functionality. Read More

The better that one understands this connection, the more profound their contribution will be when playing with others.
