Most of my lesson plans are customized for each student, depending the style they are interested in, and the level that they are already playing. Generally speaking for beginners, I begin with teaching about the instrument (string names, frets, tuning, etc.). Then we move on to chords, starting with the easiest ones to play. Once they have grasped how the instrument and chords work, we continue on to melodies and simple 3 chord songs. Read More

For all of my beginning students, I use the method book Piano Safari because it teaches them reading music, playing music by rote, and technique all in one.

For each lesson, I take the time to make a lesson plan. Read More
