We then work on some new material (rudiments, rhythmic patterns, time signatures, etc.) and we finish off doing some fun stuff like learning new grooves or playing your favorite songs.

ALWAYS HAVE FUN while playing. Read More

My teaching experiences started when I was in college, a fellow classmate of mine needed help with some of her younger students and the world of music education opened up to me from there.

As we advance into soloing, we'll add more information around fretboard knowledge and visualization techniques. I will always explain "why" we are learning something, whether it's a particular technique or topic and "how" we go about accomplishing it.

I am a classical pianist, but am able to teach any and all styles involving piano or any other keyboard instruments. Read More

Ive been teaching private saxophone lessons for 3 years. Ive developed a simple method to customize each students practice routine. Students are all different and have different strengths and weaknesses. Its very important for musicians to be honest with themselves about their struggles in music.
