A student must be comfortable enough to take the risks that are necessary to grow as a musician. Sometimes those risks will result in what seems to be a failure. I try to reinforce the idea that it is not a failure because you tried, what can we use from that experience to get closer to what you were trying to accomplish next time. Anyone willing to put in the effort and put their talent on display for correction and review is very brave and I honor that bravery. Read More

I think relationships is what drives everything. If you don't build a trustworthy relationship with your student and learn about who they are and what they like then, you will not have a successful turn out. I believe in only sticking with what the student is comfortable with learning. I will push and stretch them when it is needed, but I like to start by asking "what do you want to learn?" I believe in setting an achievable goal in every lesson. Read More

My biggest method I will focus on is learning music by ear and applying that to the other various aspects of music, like reading and writing. I feel that being able to play music fluently by ear is a skill most musicians tend to lack at times, and isn’t really a focus on in say a high school band or orchestra setting. I aim to teach listening methods, as well as reading, writing, and techniques methods on the desired instrument. Read More

It is a privilege to be able to be a part of the development of a musical goal no matter the age or skill level. I take it upon myself to make sure that each student achieves his or her musical goals. I start all my beginners with getting to learn their instrument, the fundamentals of music like scales and progressions and some fun simple songs or melodies. Higher skill levels will include developing the ear for pitch and rhythm, performing in real time and improvisation. Read More
