Music Lessons in Selma, CA

Instruments: Bass Guitar

As I mentioned with my methods, people pick up the guitar and want to start playing right away and I don't see anything wrong with that! I believe anybody can learn to play their favorite songs as long as they put in the practice and have a little patience. It might not be realistic to play a song day 1, but some people really do catch on quickly! We will set individual goals student to student and go from there! Read More

Instruments: Lute

I have worked with students and professionals alike for many years. There are times that a player needs to focus on technique - other times, interpretation. Music can be complex with many moving parts (literally.) In my personal experience, a student-teacher relationship is based on mutual goals and understanding with communication being the bridge between the two. My students are in a sense, my responsibility. That is to say that their development, happiness and satisfactions are quite important to me. Read More

Instruments: Violin

For beginning students, young or older, I start my lesson by playing a piece for them on my violin. They can listen and observe how I play the violin and how it sounds to them. Then I show them how to hold bow and violin and feel comfortable with the instrument. After time, I gradually introduce music reading and usually use Applebaum's String Builder and Suzuki books. I always encourage listening to great historical violinists recordings to develop a sense of personality, style and tone in the students playing. Read More
