Being a veteran teacher of over four decades I have enjoyed watching my students grow from barely being able to hold a musical instrument to outstanding musicians. As a teacher I make sure that my students learn music fundamentals as well as understand musicianship. Above all, I want my students to love music. I have taught as a music educator in the classroom in five different high school Even though all of them became solid programs each came with a different set of problems. From very affluent to very poor. The thing I found very quickly in my career is all students want to learn and want to love music. However, I had to adapt to each student. No student learns the same as others. I have been able to customize instruction to meet the personality of each student as well as the ability level.

For young beginners, I make use the method book that is being used at their school as well as supplying materials specifically for their instrument. As the student progresses, he/she will be introduced to solo repertoire as well advance method books for recital and competitive purposes. The objective is keep the student challenged but at the same time making sure the lessons are enjoyable. For intermediate and advanced students, I use the school curriculum at the school they happen to attend to meet the requirements of the music program. Requirements may include learning 12 majors scales and chromatic (full range). Coaching from an Etude Book has become essential for competitions and performanances.
