I like to teach the way I practice. In a "perfect" practice day I would pick a "mode" or specific scale (1/2 step, whole step) and play around this "idea" with a metronome. I practice in as many tonal centers as possible (out of 12). I try to find motives and rhthyms to repeat or change (must hear what's to be played before if possible). The above scenario will work only if the student is already committed to learning the cycle of 5ths. Read More

I carefully watch and listen to my students' progress. If the material selection seems hard, I encourage him/her to take such material at a later time. Depending on the age of the student, I had students from those who looked up to me for guidance of music to those who set their own music goals. As a result, I adapted myself to the level and age of my students wishes and goals. Read More

Methods utilized are rooted in finding natural and healthy ways to produce a vocal sound. This stretches to all ages, as voices can and will change throughout one's lifetimes for a number of reasons. By beginning with gentle exercises and warm-ups, we can establish the student's vocal abilities and range, allowing me to create a curriculum around each individual student that ensures that will be creating music in a healthy way.
