For younger children, my methods involve using the Alfred series as the staple of the course, but I also incorporate games and some other things into the lesson to make it fun. For intermediate and Advanced students, it is a completely customized lesson plan to the individual so I can't really say what direction we take before I have had the chance to sit down and analyze their individual needs.

If they have had training with another method, I work to blend that method with the Alfred's method during the first month or two of lessons.

I hold a recital once a year to give students experience in performance. Read More
