Instruments:
I've been teaching for about 10 years. Since studying composition in college and graduate school, my teaching has expanded to include improvisation, music theory, and original pieces. Experience has taught me that, while a solid technical foundation on an instrument is invaluable, it's only half the puzzle. With some music theory and history education, students can more deeply understand the music they are playing and use this knowledge to make interpretive decisions that geratly affect performance. Understanding of theory is also critical to improvisation and composition - not just to understand the "rules," but to be able to break them with finesse.
Instruments:
I teach specifically to the students progress rate, personality, and their specific needs. It is important to be versatile in your teaching style to increase the rate of the student's success. Everyone learns differently and its important to keep that in mind. Plus, you don't want to push a certain learning style on a student that didn't work for them because they will become uninterested in music and my goal is to spread the love of music to as many students as possible.
Instruments:
For younger students, I like to start off with the fundamentals/basics to set a good foundation to what we will be learning in the future. Lip slurs, long tones, embouchure & amp; tuning are all key assets for beginners. Now for my advanced players we will definitely start in the music bible (The Arban Book) and work from start to finish. This will definitely teach players about double/triple tonguing, octave leaps/jumps & my personal favorite dynamics.
Instruments:
I use a variety of methods customed to every student that interacts with me.-One method is to practice drills targeting your weaknesses in the way you play.-Another method is a piece of music that targets your weaknesses.-Another method is leading by an example of my playing.-Another method is to guide you with my explanations of how you should be playing the music.-I will usually spend my own money to purchase more tools needed for my lessons. Booklets and such.-I have an arsenal of tools to use because I adapt to every situation with every individual student.-

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
