My approach fits with the student and parental desire. Once we know those parameters, we can proceed and make it work in the best way for the students success.

I’ll adjust my style based on how much desire there is, how much time they and what their current goals are for music, drumming and whatever else they’re striving for. Read More

For beginning trumpet students, I start with a combination of Clark and Arbank Technical studies for a formal structure. A majority of the technical teaching I do is based on these two methods.

I always set clear goals and assign homework to students to ensure quality learning in the most effective way. I will grade and provide learning strategies to students.

I always create games or interesting things in class so that students have a positive view of learning music. Read More
