Older students will also play from Rochut's Melodious etudes and the Rubank Advanced methods.

Beyond lesson and etude books, all students will, as part of their lessons, have required listening assignments to further build and conceptualize our ideas of good playing. Read More

I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More
