For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred piano series books( lesson, solo, theory and technic book) and Elementary method trumpet book, Essential elements.Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

I set realistic goals for my students at each lesson. I like to demonstrate how to play- usually I count while the student plays, which helps with the beats.

Depending on music difficulty, I prefer to learn the right hand melody first, then left hand. Read More

Additionally, if I start teaching an older student as a beginner, I believe it is important to teach them at their intellectual level.

Finally, if students are interested in learning a particular song or want to focus on a particular topic, I am always eager to help them with that! Read More
