My teaching methods are tailored to YOUR playing level and aspirations. If you just want to start learning songs at first, we'll dive into different bands and styles. My teaching curriculum is customized and starts with Musician's Institute's Core Curriculum and includes the MI Essential Concepts series which contains a no-nonsense approach to fundamental techniques. Depending on your playing level, It's a fun way to learn some basics without a deep dive in music theory. Read More

Instruments: Trombone

I start with whichever beginner's trombone book the student has, or can create copies of exercises from various books of my own to supplement. I have many daily exercises and warm ups I've collected from professionals I've studied with or had master's classes with over the years for beginners, intermediates, as well as advanced performers. I concentrate on daily study with various ways of ending boredom in the practice room, performing and training in different environments, with all emphasis towards the performance aspect itself.

Instruments: Piano Voice

For Piano students: I teach from Faber and Faber (age appropriate volumes) and encourage a disciplined home practice routine that includes a practice log and weekly goals. Solo pieces added over time. Performances - even if only an in home recital for a few family members and friends - are encouraged about once a semester. For voice students: I teach very tailored lessons to suit individual goals, even if the goal is just to sing better in the shower. Read More

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard

I first like to get to know my student's goal whether it's just to learn to play, improve their skills, or become a professional. For a beginner I introduce the instrument, and instruct them in the basic techniques to start playing music the first day! I will then give them the instructional tools so they can feel comfortable putting their ideas into practice. I am very open to the student's musical desires, but I have found that instructional books are a great way to improve one's skills. Read More

We like lessons to be fun and challenging. Sight reading abilities really help musicality and ability for spontaneity. Part of each lesson is spent on good posture, breathing and excellent practice methods. We slow down the difficult passages and get them played correctly. Attention to tone and a great armbiture are always kept in mind, as well as hand position and minimal movement as the songs and exercises are played. Read More
