Every student is different and has different dreams, needs and goals. So, my teaching style relies heavily on communicating with my students and their parents, if applicable. My first lesson is focused on setting goals for yourself and unearthing musical dreams and ideas. The following lessons are about hitting that goal as soon as possible. Once that goal is hit, I set another goal with you, and so on. I keep an eye on making sure you get the essentials (notes, finger placement, posture, good habits, etc.) and incorporate the things you are needing or missing into our goals. Read More

I have a great rapport with the students because we both generally want to be there.  I have learned a lot about myself over the years about the various ways people learn.  One cannot approach every student with the same program.  Some are more visual and love to read music, some have a great ear and can play back something they only have heard once.  I try to be aware of strengths, and work on the things that need more focus.

As a beginning student who is starting from "scratch" I use the "Strictly Strings". book 1 for the basic instruction.
