The most important aspect of my teaching style is that lessons should be easy going fun (it is music after all). Low stress and high encouragement lead to increased desire to practice. I work with various materials, including school assigned books such as "All for Strings". Students are also encouraged to request their favorite music and I will do my best to provide an appropriate arrangement for the student's skill level. Read More

For kids I find that having a large quantity of music to learn at each level gives more variety and sense of achievement, so I usually recommend beginning students have multiple books to aid in learning. For example a young piano student will study from lesson, theory, performance, and technique books each week. This yields a well-rounded student who is proud of their achievements and eager to move forward. For adults I recommend a lesson/theory combination book at least to help with reading music.

I'm a rigorous and passionate instructor who has worked with students for nearly ten years. As a musician of almost two decades I love passing down not only the musical ability, but also the history of music. I am currently perusing an Associate's in Fine Arts and sacred music. I have been the principal organist and choir master for many churches and small groups over the years, but have recently moved here to further my knowledge and the passing of music from me to my new up and coming students.

The first part is exposure/appreciation of different musics, cultures and styles: The loving of music This includes: Active listening skills, genre playlists, history of solo repertoire/composers 2. The second part is the practice/performance of music, instruments, and vocally: The doing of music This includes: Physically clapping rhythms, singing, playing, performing, improvising 3. Read More
