For beginning students I use instrument appropriate lesson books that teach the fundamentals of music, the instrument and progressively allows the student to feel comfortable with the sound and feel of the instrument. As they progress I begin introducing solo pieces and instruction to strengthen techniques, embouchure, sight reading, and theory abilities. For my older students I first see what their current level is and learn what their goals are. Read More

For beginner students we start by grasping the concept that make up music in a practical way. The specific bibliography changes from student to student and form instrument to instrument.

If the student already has a grasp on the fundamentals, my focus goes to exercises that extend range, fine-tune timbral sound, build technical flexibility, and expand dynamic range. The repertoire is typically "suggested" by me (to reinforce learning objectives) but is not "officially picked" without the approval and enthusiasm of the student. I also heavily emphasis repertoire analysis because I believe that a student's musicianship operates at a higher level when they have well-rounded knowledge of the piece they're playing. Read More

I would also bring in different levels of books and studies for their specific level and instrument that they play. Air flow is a factor through all experiences since it helps with sound and tone so much. For upper levels we would work on specific music that they are working on as well as experiment with different techniques. Overall, my goal is for my lessons to be fun, informative, and engaging.
