I have taught private lessons for a number of years. I also have college level teaching experience in multiple countries in North America and Europe. I have taught students of all ages and levels of experience. I have students who are professionals in the industry and those who play just for fun. I am happy to teach students any style they are interested in learning, but I make sure that each student is not only trained to be technically proficient on the instrument, but also train to possess high-level qualities of musicianship.

I focus on different elements in each lesson. Good technique is always worked on in each lesson. I also encourage my students to learn to read music starting with various etude books of my choosing. Each lesson incorporates music theory as it relates to the subject of discussion. I also train my students to think with their ears incorporating ear training exercises, improvisation, and encouraging students to learn by ear. Much of my lesson structure and the overall progression of lessons is designed around each individual student.
