I also believe that improvements come from better understanding of the material and basics, and vice versa. Read More

I set realistic goals which will change along with the progression of the student. I believe in giving them positive feedback along with constructive critiques. Read More

My methods are non-traditional for some students and traditional for others. Each person learns differently and needs different methods to achieve their goals. I have used Essential Methods books, Jump Right In books, and others that I have found in my studies as a music teacher. I believe music is learned in many different ways, by ear, by reading, and by playing. We learn to talk by talking and being surrounded by those who talk. Read More
