Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard

I have taught many students about Music Theory, composition and the Saxophone, and have helped all of them reach new levels of fluidity on their instruments, gain deeper understanding of concepts, and develop more extensive knowledge of Theory, and how to apply it. It is a true pleasure to see my student succeed and have the Aha moment when a concept that they were struggling with, morphs into something they dont even need to think about. Read More

When I start with a student, we immediately start working on sight-reading, as I believe it is a very important skill to have. Even the beginners students, all start sight-reading right off the bat, and build on the skill as they progress. As we go along with our lessons, we add on new concepts and integrate those into what is already learned, as well as incorporate them into music the student enjoys. Read More

I have been playing the piano for 10 years, but have been involved in the musical institution for much longer than that. I have been shaping minds young and old in piano technique and music theory for the last seven years. And, I believe I am an ideal teacher for anyone just starting out to those who are trying to continue from where they left off. I have been afforded the pleasure of performing in many of my University's recitals and concerts as a solo pianist and ensemble piece. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

As a flute player, where would we be without the teachings of Trevor Wye, Marcel Moyse, Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert? Of course, I will start by determining where they are at, a test, so to say. For the beginners, I like to start with the Trevor Wye beginners books. As they grow more advanced, we will look at separate books such as the 24 melodic studies by Moyse and intermediate books that are also by Wye. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

It is important that each student progresses at their own pace, so I craft custom lessons for each of my students, making sure that whatever their ability level, they are learning to have a passion for music. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Creating a clear, achievable goal each week gives the student a feeling of accomplishment, and makes them eager to learn more. Read More
