With any student who is in a beginning sort of stage with their musicality, I will start off by teaching them basic techniques, simple notes or chords(dependent on the type of instrument), and rudimentary knowledge of the notational system.

I do this to not only make it as exciting as possible for the student, but to help them achieve a vision they already have for themselves. Read More

For students learning their first instrument and learning how to read music, I like to spend the majority of the time buzzing on the mouthpiece, breathing, as well as studying and playing easy warm ups such as Remingtons.

For more advanced beginners I have them read easy etudes to develop their reading and overall musicianship. Read More
