Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Harmonica Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

It's really important for me to teach music in a way that people can maintain interest and enjoy learning. With any instrument, music theory, ear training and music analysis is my focus, I think these skills will build a strong foundation for beginners that will serve them well down the road. Also another essential part of my method is teaching correct technique which will help students practice in more a effective and enjoyable way! Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

For beginner students, I will start by first teaching them the basic techniques of trumpet playing(i.e. proper breathing, posture, instrument holding, and buzzing techniques). After going through the basic techniques of trumpet playing, I will have my student work out the Sound Innovations for Concert Band method book. Once my student completely learns the first Sound Innovation method book and gets a grasp over the fundamentals of trumpet playing, I will introduce them to trumpet exercise books such as the Vizzutti, Arbans, and Clarke books among others to build upon the fundamental techniques that they have already developed.

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I believe in teaching the basics first and working on technique and just being able to play the instrument before anything else. Most people learning guitar (bass or otherwise) want to start rocking right away, and I think that's great! It's a less "academic" instrument than playing the piano or harp, so I don't see the problem with that. Also, it's your money and I want to see you satisfied :) It is important to know what notes you are playing, especially if the student wants to play with other musicians, so that is a must, as well.

Instruments: Lute

I have worked with students and professionals alike for many years. There are times that a player needs to focus on technique - other times, interpretation. Music can be complex with many moving parts (literally.) In my personal experience, a student-teacher relationship is based on mutual goals and understanding with communication being the bridge between the two. My students are in a sense, my responsibility. That is to say that their development, happiness and satisfactions are quite important to me. Read More
