During the first lesson, I have a short discussion with the student to see what their goals are. I also ask what about music interests them.

Then, based on their progress, we set benchmark goals that are adjusted according to their pace. Read More

Musical education should be as exciting as it is rewarding. I believe firmly that building a solid foundation in ear training, rhythmic consistency and theoretical knowledge is the surest way to motivate the type of practice that leads to improvement.
