I believe every individual has different ways and styles of learning and I adapt my teaching method/style according to the needs of each and every student. Having been trained in the Kodaly method, I found that it is highly versatile and I have been using this method to teach ear-training and music theory to my students. I have been teaching my students with Suzuki, Alfred, Bastien and other classical methods depending on their needs. Read More

I am comfortable playing jazz styles as well as more rock oriented styles on the drum set.

Hi! I'm Kurt, singer-songwriter/composer, a multi-instrumentalist, and a patient and natural teacher. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, piano for almost 20. I release music as "The Broadest Blue"; I am in the process of recording my second album--the first (plus two singles) are available on all streaming platforms.

Instruments: Piano Violin Music

I have been teaching for 5 years to a wide range of ages. I take an individualistic approach to teaching, tailoring my lessons to my students. I teach violin for all levels and beginner/intermediate piano. I encourage all my students to learn how to read music and have a basic understanding of theory. I prefer a mix of a musical and technical approach and encourage a slow but steady timeline for learning. Read More
