Nothing kills enthusiasm in the long run like rote teaching. With a complete beginner, especially a young child, an abstraction like music can be overwhelming if not presented in a structured manner. For that reason, I generally speak at length with the parents and explain that the preparation work takes several lessons.

For a young child to love music, a teacher must introduce it to him or her in a passionate way, without forcing it one the child. The struggling student is just as capable of loving music, just as much as the accomplished one.

Instruments: Voice

Depending on the student's age and wishes, the lesson will be a playful voice exploration or knowledge-sharing instructions.

I want to make sure that everyone has a positive experience learning the guitar, but also feels like they are progressing at the same time. Read More
