Detailed information on finger numbers, music theory and ear training, works and the composers of the works are also covered at the necessary points during the course. The aim in my classes is to minimize the student's need for a teacher in the long run.

In my years of teaching experience in music, English as a second language, and biology, I have found that different students learn differently. Some do best learning by demonstration, others by reading sheet music, others through discussion and application. In general, I have found that when students are given individual focus and a lesson plan built upon their strengths, they excel!
