My private teaching experience dates back to my late high school years and after I graduated from college I began to teach professionally and I also include a wider range of instrumentations. I specialized in woodwinds and I can also teach novice piano and brass instruments as well. In my seven years of teaching experiences, I had helped many students with their auditions and musical growth.  Some of them made All-State and/or junior All-State, many students made into All-County bands.

I consider myself to be both traditional and old school at certain times, however. I firmly believe that students will lose interest in music quickly if I always teach all students the same techniques and follow conventional music theory.  For piano lessons I usually begin without any books until they are comfortable with the weight and the feel of the piano keys.  After that I really like to use the John Thompson's piano book grade 1, and I have had many good results with my students in the past.  For my instrumental students it depends on the students' age. I would do things differently.  But most of time I would use the rubank elementary method to start off.  To me it is the most effective method book to use.
