Instruments:
I teach the Faber and Faber method on piano, supplementing my curriculum often with what the student wishes to study or with a number of books that I also keep in my possession i.e. Beatles Fake Book, Introduction to Bach, Well-Tempered Klavier, Hanon, Berklee Method in Rock and Jazz. In drum set, I start with The Drumset Musician by Rod Morgenstein and Rick Mattingly, and work with a variety of snare methods including Stick Control and The Rudimental Cookbook.
Instruments:
I'm a big believer in muscle memory. I've had a lot of students(mainly guitar) who have hard time getting off the ground when it comes to play their instrument. They're not sure where to begin and how to start when they can barley play a note! That first D chord is always the toughest so I like to find a song that they like and also easy to play and jam out. This way they're building the fundamental playing ability while having a blast. Once they have that down, then there is a whole world of music open which we can then explore.
Instruments:
When I teach teenagers or adults I usually start with Alred’s Basic Adult Piano Course Book, as well as a music theory book that is suited to the student. I like Alfred’s series for the young beginner as well, but have also used the Bastien series. For voice students I use a warm up book and a sight singing book. My students keep a music notebook of the week’s assignments in which I also make music theory notes and explanations. In addition to the instruction books, I find out particular songs that the student would like to learn and include them in the lesson. If the student wants to compose music, I also teach songwriting skills, and playing by ear.
Instruments:
I've been performing, producing, collaborating, and teaching here in Washington now for around 20 years. After earning a Bachelor of Musical Arts from Pacific University I began collaborating and performing with the area's top musical talent. This array of experiences and musical relationships have given me what I believe to be unique insight into the art of music and how to approach it either as a career-minded professional or a recreationally-oriented amateur.
Instruments:
I feel each of my students are unique. I love watching my students' level of musical understanding progress. I love seeing the dedication and determination begin to heighten as the lessons progress. Within each lesson I point out areas that need to be worked on as well as areas of improvement. Seeing one's progress is the most important element to me for my students. Therefore, I like to record my students quarterly for a few minutes within a lesson to show the mass amounts of improvement they will accomplish. It will be my pleasure to work with you. *SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MISS ALLIE ON PIANO! Allie has shown an exceeding amount of progress with each lesson. I am proud to call her my student. She is always prepared, and eager to show me her progress for the week. I am delightfully pleased to see how well she has applied our preceding lesson to her week's practice. Allie is quick to fix a mistake. She takes direction well and is not afraid to take a risk within the realm of musicality. "I'm super proud of you, Allie. Your scales are coming along so well. Your dedication is admirable, and I feel you have what it takes to continuously take your practice to the next level. Keep it up miss metronome!" ;)

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
