My teaching method is a give-and-take. The more the student is able to put into the lessons the more I will be able to help them out. We will focus on learning some fundamental concepts and learning songs from artists the student loves. Each week the student will be assigned something to work on depending on their skills and then there will be a check in the next week to see how they did and how much or how little they worked on that task.

I've been teaching privately for 10 years and working with music stores and schools in their band programs/music classes for 8 years. I've worked with Brian Wilson at Summit Academy, Jeff Quamo's students at Mesa High and with Mary Price in her general music classroom at Summit Academy. I'm currently in multiple ensembles as well as getting back into choral music which is where I get my experience in musical phrasing and emotion. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet, Music

In my experience scales and exercises seems to be very beneficial, its something that cannot have last priority, as these are what make up your playing. I also will likely give one etude of mine or your choice per week or two. Also having a repertoire piece is vital, something to demonstrate skills, this can also be represented through ensemble pieces. I will to do my best for you since I am very passionate about music and specifically clarinet! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Music

I use several methods; Royal Conservatory of Music, Alfred, Bastien and Faber to name a few. These publishers provide lesson books, theory, and pieces. The selection of books will vary because there is no "one size fits all" solution. I introduce fundamentals, then solo pieces in various styles. Often same concepts are used in different types of music. So for example, musical structure within a piece can be shown in classical and even popular music! Read More

Instruments: Violin, Music

I set big goals for each year for every student. Auditioning for the local youth orchestras, participating in local competitions or auditioning for colleges, and then we make monthly plans to work towards that goal. I also plan annual recitals so that students can enjoy performing in a supportive environment, and learn how to work + enjoy working with a pianist, or in a chamber music group. Collaborative musical skills are essential in a musician. :) On top of standard repertory, I add scales and etudes as part of the students’ learning, but also highly enjoyable songs that the students can choose themselves.
