Instruments: Guitar

For beginning students, especially children, I typically start with foundational exercises and simple songs to help them build confidence and a solid grasp of guitar basics. Once theyve mastered the fundamentals, I introduce solo pieces that suit their skill level and prepare them for their first performance, whether its a small recital or just playing for family and friends. For adult students, I focus on understanding their musical interestswhether its J-pop, classical, or another genreand tailor my lessons to keep them engaging and enjoyable. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Euphonium

For beginning students, my primary resource is generally the purple Primer level Faber book, however I often use principles of teaching from Simply Music and Piano Safari that allow beginning students to get right into playing some very interesting songs without having to read them. I think reading is important, don't get me wrong. However, I think that the ability to be versatile on the sounds of the piano without the abstraction of music notes can be very helpful for fostering a love for music early on. Read More

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle

I employ a very eclectic, rotating repetoire. For beginning violin students, I use the Suzuki method of ear-training, however I am not married to that curriculum. I prefer to use beginning Suzuki materials in tandem with standard American folk and pop music, in accordance to the student's interests. I am qualified to teach all the way through Suzuki book 10 if the student prefers a more classical approach. Ear training is fundamental in my approach to all instruments and styles. Read More
