For beginner students, we start off using the beginning books from "Piano Adventures" by Faber Faber, and published by Hal Leonard. They learn to read music, improvise, music theory, and play all style of music. A typical lesson for an elementary school student would be 10 min of playing assigned pieces that they've practiced for the week, 10 min of new songs for the next week, 5 min of music theory, and 5 min of some sort of musical game.

I generally use a method book for teaching band or orchestral private students. I also use other resources depending on the needs of the student. I always ask my students what they want to achieve and base my teaching on those goals. ( Of course, I provide guidance in making some of those goals!) For guitar,keyboards, bass and drums, I use method books, but also I teach students how to read "chord charts" or lead sheets. Read More

For beginning students enrolled in their school band program, I start with their materials required from class. If a student is not enrolled in a band program, I typically start with Standards of Excellence or Measures of Success methods depending on individual needs. I will also suggest additional methods of scale and repertoire study as students progress for solo performances. For beginning piano students, I use the Alfred Basic Piano course. Read More

I'm a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who loves working with young musicians and helping them to express themselves through songs.
