Teaching students has always been a passion of mine. To get the student to understand and figure out exactly what I can do to make the student be the best player possible is always something I strive for. Many students learn in a wide variety of styles. As an instructor, I have learned to adapt to each style as best as I can, and make sure I have every lesson prepared for each student. Read More

The most important parts of learning any instrument is reading music and posture/hand positions. On piano I typically use Faber's Piano Adventure series. I've found that this series teaches the fundamentals in a fun and easy way. On brass and woodwind instruments I would start a beginner with the Standard of Excellence series and supplement with the Rubank method books. With ukulele I like to start with Hal Leonard method books and then shift to Johnson's Ukulele Aerobics. 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

Patience is my favorite virtue, and is imperative when is comes to teaching a subject as beautifully complex as music. Every student learns in a different way, and at different speeds. I aim to find every student's ideal learning pace, and deliver information in a manner that is easiest for them to absorb and retain. We set short term and long term goals based in the musical direction the student wants to go in. Read More
