Instruments:
For beginners I ask what are their favorite songs and go from there. If they do not know then I usually play a popular song. I hope to get the beginner attuned with playing along and the importance of timing. With my guidance the student builds their own beginner book through our lessons. I give all students activities to work on during the week that I expect for them to show me at the next lesson. For all levels of students I find what kind of music and genres they prefer and work towards them being fluent in playing that genre. I use a collection of books as well including The New Breed, Syncopation, The Stone Book and other rudiment/technique training books.
Instruments:
I began teaching music in high school after I was given the opportunity to train incoming jazz band students. I quickly found that I was passionate about mentoring these excited freshman. Since then, I have been consistantly teaching out of my home studio, giving children and adults the tools they need to reach their goals. Students of mine know that a lesson will always be fun, creative, and challenging. If I can bring out the utmost passion of learning in a student, practicing towards perfect musicianship becomes a blast! My students are always encouraged to perform, enter competitions, and play with others. After all, music is a communal language, so let's share it with the world!
Instruments:
My lessons usually include the use of technology. Depending on the student and the instrument, we may use backing tracks, or slowed down songs to play along. Sometimes i will record the performance so the student can listen to themselves and learn from the experience. To play a particular song in the bass, I used programs to slow down the music or change the key, as a workout for the study and practice of the piece. For beginners, we focus on the muscle memory until we can perform simple songs that are fun. On these settings, I encourage and motivate the student with games that will help them learn the tedious parts of music in a fun and distracted way. On the piano I work mostly on solo pieces which are relevant to the concepts we are working on. For my young beginners on piano or guitar we follow either Hal Leonard's or Alfred's books. For my bassists I will bring a personalized lesson each time, that will eventually become the students own learning book with all the information they might need week by week. Homework, reminders, and tips to develop their own practice routines are included in these unique lesson plans. My classes are all about the student and how to help them improve and learn on their own terms. Always supportive and helping create a confident musician out of each student, who can feel happy and free to express themselves throughout music.
Instruments:
We keep a strong basis in tone and scales. Once you have a sound you like and a fluid technique, you can do anything! -I come from the classical French tradition, so use those techniques even from the beginning. -Mostly I make sure to keep lessons fun and engaging, and encourage students to take the helm in practice routines and musical decisions. I have years of experience, and sincerely enjoy, teaching beginners and advanced students alike. All students work on a foundation of tone exercises, scales, etudes, solos, and duets. --

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
