Instruments: Piano, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Music

As I Have discussed prior, I love teaching and I love music. Individually they are my favorite, and teaching music just makes my world turn the right way. I like to teach music, but also like to teach life through music. Humans are amazing creatures with emotions, strength and so much more, which is why I mentioned life. We can learn more than just music through any topic. I can teach you music and while you are learning I can guide you and help you realize what a great distresser music can be, or how mentally blocked one can get when under the stress or pressure of wanting to play something and not being able to, just yet.

For beginning students (regardless of age instrument) I try to simplify the approach and work on a set of warm ups/exercises coupled with a performance piece or song that they can feel good about and lots of fun listening assignments. From there I have a few options of instruction methods that I tailor to the individual student. More intermediate/advanced students will not escape from some of the basics (metronome, scales, rudiments etc.) but will be met with many more choices of performance material based more on their individual goals.
