I introduce double stop positioning, bar positions, forms for 12 bar and 1-4-5- chord patterns in different styles of music (this can range from Beethoven to Jimi Hendrix). I then move to introducing songs than have the same core chords, but in different sequences, so students can see broader applications. I also have an favorite tool of mine that especially helps with theory -- a wheel that has the circle of 5ths carved into it, with patterns and relations between the keys carved into an inner wheel on it as well.

I incorporate a balance of technique, theory, ear training, and creative explorationensuring that students not only build skills but also develop musical intuition and confidence. Positive reinforcement is key to my approach. I celebrate every milestonebig or smalland I emphasize consistency, intentional practice, and joy in the process. I am patient, supportive, and attentive to the unique learning rhythms of each student. My ultimate goal is to help students not just play music, but live itdeveloping a deep, personal connection to their instrument and a lasting love for music. Read More

Each student is different, so I use different method books to suit how he or she learns.  One student may learn quickly in note reading while another is stronger in memorization.  I use classical repertoire to give the students a solid foundation, and then as they progress, I will introduce popular songs that they love.  I incorporate music theory in all of my lessons because knowing theory opens many doors to what one can do with music!

Piano: New piano students will either start with the Piano Adventures series by Faber (for young beginner students) or Alfred's Adult Piano Methods (for older students or adults). Read More
