I encourage this by setting achievable goals for each lesson. I foster a positive environment. I am open to questions. Please ask them! In addition, I teach you how to listen while you play. This will help you advance easier because you won’t have to go back to fix any errors you might have learned. Read More

My starting point for my students is typically having them practice posture, hand position and proper mouthpiece placement. After this has been satisfied, I have the students blow using a breathing exercise. From this, I have the students play the first three notes out of their Habits of Good Musician Book 1. Students will continue in the book and proceed to their daily lesson exercises until they are ready to play other higher level music pieces. Read More

My instruction is flexible even though its structured in a way that prompts the student for further and regular improvements. Read More
