Music Lessons in Hallandale, FL

Instruments: Trombone Music

My teaching frames music practice as a process of playful experimentation and personal exploration. Based on the concepts of psychologist Carol Dweck, I use teaching language that promotes a growth mindset in my students, a mindset that allows for creative risk-taking and the necessity of learning from mistakes. I try to be tough, but always positive and supportive. I also teach the principles of deliberate practice, which allows students to practice effectively. Read More

For children and other beginners, I would start our lessons by encoding the basic function of music theory application of a drum pad. This will allow stick control and muscle memory to begin developing. As the beginner becomes more of a novice, I will introduce simple and repetitive songs and go over them as whole pieces. Those who are experienced in percussion, I will have them show me all of the rudiments they know, any complete pieces they have memorized, and have 5 minutes of improvisation. Read More

For beginner children, I like to use the Suzuki Method. For adults and intermediate to advanced children, I use a combination of books from different authors e.g. Taffanel Gaubert Flute Method, Marcel Moyse books, for technique development and also many pieces from the classical repertory. I also let the students choose pieces of any style that theyre interested in playing and they can handle. I have developed effective teaching techniques, which allows me to foster a fun and engaging learning environment. Read More

Highlights from my time here include performing with the band Kansas and with the St. Petersburg String Quartet at Carnegie Hall. Though I eventually taught reading and writing at all ages, my love of music remained as my love of teaching grew. Read More

The most rewarding experience is to see students passion for music and their instrument.

Once these goals are met they will receive an award for their hard work. Also I want to relate to my students and stir up their interested besides music. Read More
