I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Euphonium, Music

I look for abilities and goals of my students and I foster them to achieve those goals. I also work hard to find methods that work for individual students. What I have found over thee years is that each student has different needs when approaching playing an instrument and so I look to identify those and work with the student's strengths. I also try and find creative ways to help students overcome various issues, such as developing range or learning to feel a steady sense of beat. Read More
