Music Lessons Fairfield County, CT

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

I began teaching private lessons in 2019. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for student, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. If a student is not having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

I started teaching about 3 years ago, and have been consistently going to various students' homes for lessons, voice and violin alike.
