In doing so, in-depth understanding of the text in the song will be discussed in order to articulate the text with good phrasing and direction. For a clarinet student, I will generally warm up with breathing techniques and proper embouchures to produce good tone. Exercises to develop core muscles as well as coordination and agility in the hands will be given as assignments along with appropriate pieces to apply such developing skills. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Recorder, Music, Keyboard

For beginning piano students, I typically begin with the Piano Adventures series lesson books, adding integrated theory, composition and musical history with instructional activities.

This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More
