No two students are the same, and I try to take each student's strengths, goals and preferences into account when designing their custom curriculum. For brass, I devise custom exercises for the player in addition to using classic pedagogical texts such as the Arban's and Clarke books.

They can span the range from learning a new scale to realizing that they need to clean their horns more often. I also try my best as a teacher to acknowledge growth and get students excited with every single discovery. I have found that as musicians, we are our most critical and brutal critics, so I make it a point to allow students the opportunity to celebrate their own triumphs no matter how big or small.
