My teaching style is relaxed but consistent. The goal for students is first to enjoy music, and then progress at their own pace.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, Suzuki method and music theory combined.

Instead of using existing method books which may or may not contain music that the student can relate to, I like to use the favorite songs of the student.  Once the student makes known his/her request I then create an arrangement of that particular song and tailor it to suit their level ( beginner ,intermediate,advanced ).  This ensures a high level of interest  and motivation on the students part.   For those students who insist on using method books I'm OK with that too ( So the traditionalists are welcome too).
