For piano students I usually use Piano Adventures method books while supplementing with scales, pop and classical repertoire, theory, ear training, history and more. For ukulele and guitar we focus on strumming patterns, rhythm, chords, and repertoire anywhere from rock or pop to classical. Sometimes I will use a method book for guitar or ukulele students if they like that fit. I subscribe to Everand to access a library of music regularly for my students. Read More

My teaching experience starts when I was in high school. I taught private lessons as well as the lead instructor in our percussion class granted by the director. When I was in high school, I wrote to percussion scores for our marching shows. In my senior year, I was picked up by a musical touring group, and I was able to play drum set with professionals. After high school, I went to college and participated in wind bands, percussion ensembles, operas, and chamber ensembles. Read More

I think it is important to keep the oral tradition of teaching alive so most of the content during lessons will be learnt by ear, though supplemental physical materials will be used. Learning primarily by ear will help build student's listening skills which will be useful down the road when rehearsing with others or learning new tunes quickly. The student will start learning songs that they choose right off the bat, this will keep them engaged and more likely to practice. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, French Horn, Piccolo, Music

My teaching style is fully centered around the student. I believe every instrumentalist learns differently, so I tailor my instruction to match each student's unique learning style. I don’t rush my students; instead, I allow them to grow at a pace that’s best for them. At the beginning of our lessons, I take time to understand who they are, their goals, and what motivates them. From there, I create a personalized plan to guide their musical journey. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone, Drums, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard, Electric Guitar

I feel that creating a freestyle/open studio environment with the ability to diversify their talents into different areas is true to what makes music what it is. In other terms, I will teach multiple instruments to a student within a lesson if they so choose to(with keeping progress in mind). I call this method "Teaching one to be an Artist through self-discovery". With my background in live performances and multi-instrumental skills, I can offer a unique and liberating experience for a student who truly wants to dive deep into what music has to offer as a whole.
