Generally, my teaching style depends on the student. Why is that? Everyone is unique, and everyone learns differently. It would be absolutely foolish of me to ever think that I can use one teaching method or style for each and every student. So I teach based on the student's learning style and predispositions. Also I tend to do alot of finger techniques as well as aural training, because I believe even though music reading is essential, it does you no good if you can't respond musically to the sounds and the nuances of your environment.

It's important to cultivate a student's musical knowledge by building upon their current foundation. Similar to the way children learn a language, music students of all ages should start by listening and singing/playing before learning to read and even write.

For beginning piano students, I usually begin with the Alfred Prep Course, supplemented with a notespeller to help expedite learning to read music. I also begin ear training, chords, and solo repertoire as the student becomes ready. For voice students, I begin with breathing, vocal technique, and skill-level appropriate songs. For all students, regardless of instrument and experience, I aim to set goals together with them and use each lesson to advance toward the completion of those goals! Read More

It's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and make students eager to learn more. Sharing my own stories also give students excitement on what to look forward to if interested in a music career. I make sure I'm very personable so each student can feel comfortable, inspired, and motivated. Read More

One of the key principles I emphasize is consistency—regular, focused practice is essential for growth and confidence. I also believe that learning should be enjoyable and inspiring, so I incorporate a blend of classical fundamentals with modern styles such as gospel, RB, and contemporary music to keep students engaged and motivated. If a student isn’t enjoying the process, then I know I need to adjust my approach. In addition to weekly lessons, I encourage my students to participate in recitals, showcases, and performance opportunities, as well as explore songwriting and original composition. Read More
