After that we learn how being confident in these individual notes are the building blocks to learning things like scales, chords, and up to full complex scores. I like for students not to just understand about how to play their instrument, but to understand how this all fits together and WHY. If I am teaching a student on any instrument my job is to equip them with the necessary tools to eventually be able to make these connections and see how these consistent patterns fit together to make this amazing art we call music.

I cover both the physical skill of creating a musical sound and building a song from its melodic and rhythmic core. In doing this both children and adults are tutored in proper positioning of their hands and bodies to create a comfortable and relaxed posture of playing.

It is also important to know a vast repertoire of musical styles so that one can create relatability with the students. Read More

I want my students to become so infatuated with the journey, that they will seek to continue to look for new experiences to explore. I create this environment by keeping lessons diverse and dynamic.
