Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar

My methods differ for each instrument. For piano I will start with Alfred's basic piano course if the student is a beginner. It helps students visualize the basic techniques for sitting and playing the piano in a way that will prevent injury. From there we walk through the book until the student understands how the keys and reading music works. After this, I start to assign different songs and/or assignments that match the student's learning style and interest in music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

For beginning students who are children, I start with Rubank's Elementary Method book.  This will provide the student with the basic fundementals.  I will then introduce the student to a variety of solo repertoire for his or her instrument. I try to make my lessons as fun as possible so the child grows up with music as a fun, artistic outlet.  For students who already have knowledge on their instrument or who are adults, I aim to find what the student is interested in, and adjust my instruction accordingly.

Instruments: Guitar Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I believe that a teachers job is to pass on the joy and power of music.  In order to do that however the technical execution of music must be easy.  Through repertoire and exercises I emphasize a sound technical and mental approach so that playing the guitar is easy, fun, and a form of self expression.
