This usually involves speaking with the student in the first lesson/lessons to find out what specifically they want to learn or improve.

I've been teaching for over 30 years now and have pretty much enjoyed the process all along.I enjoy sharing my love of music, encouraging and seeing students discover the many benefits of music, as well as seeing them develop through the years.

I started teaching 7 years ago at the beginning of my college career and I have been teaching consistently ever since! I've had students from ages 4 to 60+ and taught individually, group lessons, and group classes.
