Instruments: Piano Clarinet
My main method is to be in the middle between having a discipline, encouraging to practice regularly, stay focused but at the same time to remain curious about the process and not let the students develop the habit where they need to practice because they need to. With some older students I try to be somewhat specific and explain what are the things we are working on, why we are working on this, and how to archive it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
My philosophy in teaching is that a good understanding of the foundation of music and the instrument will lead to self sufficiency in learning. I aim to teach my students not just to be dependant on myself as the instructor, but to be able to problem solve and learn on their own if they run into a question and an instructor is unavailable. I regularly practice sight reading with my students and keep them critically thinking about their music and what makes it up. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Each student needs a long-term goal in mind for where they want their voice to be. I like to start out by setting a couple realistic goals for the long-term with my students, then breaking those goals down into manageable steps each associated with one or two pieces. I also want students to know that they are accomplishing their goals, so I have my students tape lessons and listen back later to hear their progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano
It is often difficult to choose just the right method book for each student. I most often choose the Alfred series for both beginner's and adults, as I like how in that series the student not only develops the necessary skills but also learns about how music works. I also like very much the Piano Town series and have used it with success. For more intermediate and advanced students, I strive to get a sense of the type of music and pieces the student enjoys the most and try to assign their repertoire accordingly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Lesson plans are catered to the needs and level of each individual student. For younger students with maturing voices, I generally work on basic technique like breathing and posture. I will teach solfege and simple songs that help develop the young singer's ear and a relationship to their voice. For more mature voices, typically above the age of 16, I begin to approach more technical areas of singing like vowel formation, breath energy and management, agility, legato, vocal registration, and a more detailed understanding of the physical anatomy behind singing.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Determining if your child is ready to start lessons, whether it's for music, sports, or any other skill, involves considering several factors. Here are some key indicators to help you assess their readiness:
1. Interest and Enthusiasm: Is your child showing a genuine interest in the activity? Do they express excitement or curiosity about learning it? Eagerness is a positive sign.
2. Age-Appropriateness: Consider your child's age and developmental stage. Some activities may have age recommendations, so make sure your child is within the suggested age range.
3. Attention Span: Assess your child's ability to focus and concentrate. Most lessons require a certain level of attention and patience. If your child can sit still and pay attention for the duration of the lesson, it's a good sign.
4. Physical Readiness: Depending on the activity, your child may need certain physical abilities or coordination. For example, they should be able to hold a pencil if they want to start drawing or be able to handle a musical instrument properly.
5. Emotional Readiness: Consider your child's emotional maturity. Are they able to handle constructive criticism and setbacks without becoming overly discouraged or frustrated?
6. Responsibility: Some activities require regular practice and commitment. Assess whether your child is responsible enough to follow through with lessons and practice routines.
7. Support from the Child: Ideally, your child should express a desire to learn and participate in the activity. Their enthusiasm and willingness to attend lessons and practice are good indicators.
8. Parental Support: Evaluate your own readiness and willingness to support your child in their chosen activity. Are you prepared to provide the necessary resources, transportation, and encouragement?
9. Time Commitment: Consider your family's schedule and whether you can realistically accommodate the time required for lessons, practice, and any related activities or competitions.
10. Consult with Professionals: If you're uncertain, it's often a good idea to consult with professionals or instructors who specialize in the activity your child is interested in. They can provide insights and recommendations based on their expertise.
Remember that every child is unique, and readiness for lessons can vary widely from one individual to another. It's essential to support your child's interests and aspirations while being attentive to their individual abilities and needs. Starting with a trial or introductory lesson can also help you gauge their readiness and interest in a particular activity before committing to a long-term schedule.
