Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music

My teaching experience goes back into my senior year in high school. I was a student intern for my school at Avon Elementary School. At first, I took notes and watched the teacher engage the kids in the lesson. But as time progressed on, I began to teach the kids about the different types of notes and percussion. When it came to teaching percussion, I taught them how to play rhythms with sticks. Read More

I believe a student needs to have a good strong Foundation starting at something is Middle C and breaking themselves of that by branching out with both hands and playing on opposite sides just to show the full capabilities of the pianoforte and they're great and full potential compositional characteristics.

I've also found that a combination of classical and popular music can go a long way in helping students enjoy any string instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job! I thoroughly believe in the practice cycle. If a student practices well, they get better, they want to play more, and they practice more. Read More
