For children and adults who are beginners I tend to use the Orff Approach as well as the Dalcroze Method. With thses methods I cnan engage the student with the music while they use their mind and body to learn the basics of music.

The best thing about teaching is when my students get frustrated at some concept or technique and I am able to show them a simple and easy solution to the problem. This usually lights up my student's faces and helps them get better not only at their instruments, but also at problem solving. I always try to reward those students who are able to answer music theory questions or those that complete their assignments. Read More
