Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard

All of my lessons, regardless of instrument, begin in the same way: warm ups! I tailor warm ups to the student's repertoire and change it up frequently so the student doesn't get bored or go on autopilot.

If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Read More
