I've been teaching students since graduating high school, and consistently teaching for the past 5 years. Throughout the years I've found that teaching students music they're interested in is the key to keeping my students eager to learn. I pair music they want to learn and various practice exercises that can help my students play and understand the music better. It can be daunting learning an instrument and getting bogged down with all of the technical information, so I make sure to show my students that it there are real life applications to all of the fundamentals of music.

I create lesson plans based on my students interests because if my students are interested in what they learn, then they'll have a better time understanding the lessons. Each lesson we'll cover and song they want to learn and the music theory and playing technique behind the song. Depending on the students experience, I will curate songs according to their ability level. I make sure that the lessons I teach are challenging for my students to learn new songs and information, but the concepts and technique are easy enough to be eager to learn more.
