Having taken lessons on several instruments and being self-taught on others I understand that the most important thing a teacher can instill in their student is 1) the basic knowledge to understand the instrument, and 2) the passion to discover and teach themselves.

For young beginner students (Ages 3-7) I typically start them with the Music for Little Mozart Series (4 books total).

That's why I suggest they incorporate both note reading and chord theory to their scope and sequence of study. Read More
