Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically. I focus on creating a nurturing environment where students can explore, take risks, and ask questions. I meld my content expertise with my ability to read people well and really help them find that path to success that works for THEM. There is no one-size-fits all approach to teaching music.

Instruments: Saxophone Recorder

My approach largely imitates the ones employed on me when I was first learning, and carries all the way through my college years of private instruction. I use a medley of great music books that I find to be crucial staples of learning foundations, as well as mu own musicology textbook that I've been writing and adapting for years. Students will be expected to practice and learn scales, arpeggios, and other basic music theory. Read More

For adults, I also try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson engaging and fun no matter their ability level. Read More

For beginning children students I typically start with Hal Leonard or a similar reputable music book.  Once the students has a grasp of the fundamentals we will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their age and skill level.  For adult students, I find out what the student is interested in and create a lesson plan that is fun and challenging no matter their skill level. I studied the Suzuki method as a youngster so I understand the importance of ear training and sight reading. Read More
