I have been tutoring since I was 12. I started out giving chess lessons to elementary students, then started teaching clarinet in 2019.

It is important that student does not lose his interest of playing an instrument. Therefore, I set some tasks for them that they can reach it. Once they see their progress, it inspires them to do more. Also, explaining a new material, I use a playful format, especially with kids who are hardly focused on the material. When they feel that they play a game, it will increase their interest and help to learn new stuff. Read More

With beginning piano students, I use the Faber series of lesson, perfomance, theory and technique books. It's a great set that progresses fluidly and keeps students well rounded in their skills. In addition, I encourage students to use flash cards to practice with note names and musical symbols and terms. For percussion students, I would teach basic snare drum and 2-mallet techniques. This may come from basic rudiment lists, school curriculum, or any additional books appropriate for the student's level. Read More
