I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More

My teaching experience dates back 5 years. I began teaching private lessons as a part time instructor , not only for instruments, but music theory as well. As any professional will tell you, Rhythm is the most important element in music and in order to hone your craft to new heights the first thing my students develop are core basics such as steady timing and finger strength. Once the basics have been developed my mission is to adhere to each individual student's need, as nobody learns the same way. Read More

My teaching style is based fully on understanding the goals and dreams of each individual student. I like to develop a plan to get each student to a level of proficiency in which they can direct themselves toward the next goal. This is done through consistent methodology and practice scheduling, as well as periodic reviews of the students past progress up to date. Often times, the student will not even realize they have crossed a hurdle as it is easy to start looking further down the road as the students abilities start to become second nature. Read More
