Instruments:
For younger students who are in a school band program, I like to use the materials they use in class and to add outside material they find interesting. I find students are more motivated to practice and develop when we start with something that interests them, and then to expose them to other styles of music later on. For older or more advanced students, I like to focus on aspects of musicianship that will help them be successful musicians, such as ear-training, theory, composition, performance practice, improvisation (if the student wishes) and transcribing.
Instruments:
My teaching experience started back in college. I am familiar with most method books and have an open mind if a parent has a strong preference on one. My philosophy in teaching is geared towards helping a student not only learn to play well, form good practice habits but most of all, able to THINK.
Instruments:
During my time at NEC I was a teachers assistant, assistant to the artistic director, and an office assistant. I worked with the NEC Jazz Youth Orchestra to help students develop aural, and sectional skills. During my breaks from school I assisted at several junior highs and high schools in the east valley. My education in Boston demanded management of a vigorous rehearsal schedule, leadership within music organizations, and countless hours of individual practice and rigorous coursework.
Instruments:
I began teaching private lessons about 25 years ago, after I had been hired to work with the drumlines for two different high schools. My first student was in one of the drumlines that I taught, and my second student was referred to me by the band director of another school, after seeing my drumline in competition. Since then, I have taught more students than I can count. Most students have been middle and high school age, but I have had lots of fun teaching students as young as 5 years old, and adults who always wished they had learned to play the drums. I have found that the best way to motivate students is to start by teaching them to play the kind of music they like most, and then introduce them to other styles later. Lessons are always fun, and catered to the student's needs.
Instruments:
I believe all students can learn the piano. I treat each student with respect and consideration. Students I teach feel encouraged and confident that they will succeed. I teach in a very incremental way. Each lesson builds on another. It's never important to learn the lesson in a hurried way, but to take the time for understanding. Students are given constructive and positive reinforcement. My students have a happy and rewarding experience learning the piano. Whether playing the piano comes easily to a student or not, each student will learn and progress in their love and level of the piano.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
