You can learn so much about a student in a 30 minute trial lesson! If a new student is not a total beginner, I will ask them to play their favorite song (or one of their favorites if they have trouble choosing just one). After their performance, I ask them what they liked about how they played. Its important for students to always be aware of what they do well. If they arent able to see their strengths on their own then I share with them what I think their strengths are and encourage them to keep that up. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with the Suzuki Method while combining it with the Essential Elements Method. As the student learns the fundamentals I gradually add scales and exercises to further develop the student's technique. After further progress, I begin to introduce solo repertoire and add other pieces. I'm fairly flexible on what pieces the student may play in the lessons, as long as the rudiments and classic repertoire are covered. Read More

I have had a lot of teachers in my life and I learned a lot from every one of them not only about playing, but also about delivering information.

I aim to make each lesson special, tailoring it to what each student needs. It's not just about learning the technical stuff; it's about helping them love music, understand it, and enjoy expressing themselves through it. Teaching, for me, isn't just about lessons. It's like being a guide on a journey. I'm there to help students discover their potential, navigate the ups and downs of making music, and, most importantly, to make sure they enjoy every step of the way. Read More
