Instruments:
Traditional but relaxed, with the goal of helping the students to reach their maximum level by building on success
Instruments:
Music has always been my greatest passion. I became a teacher so I could spread that passion to my students and watch them succeed at something that they love. I believe it is important for all students to learn at their own pace and that is why I prefer the individual attention I can provide as a private lesson teacher over a classroom teacher. Each lesson will be centered around the student reaching realistic goals and learning essential music elements while playing music that inspires them to continue to include music in their daily lives.
Instruments:
My philosophy in teaching is that a good understanding of the foundation of music and the instrument will lead to self sufficiency in learning. I aim to teach my students not just to be dependant on myself as the instructor, but to be able to problem solve and learn on their own if they run into a question and an instructor is unavailable. I regularly practice sight reading with my students and keep them critically thinking about their music and what makes it up. Once I feel that the student is at a level to make critical decisions about the music they're making I will ask them to make their own interpretations of the music and help them along depending on style and appropriateness.
Instruments:
I have taught private guitar and trombone lessons occasionally since college. I have also been working with high school students in small groups at clinics and while visiting schools since I began studying education. I recently student taught for a total of 17 weeks at Lincoln Center Elementary in South St. Paul and Central High in St. Paul, including classroom music, band and orchestra conducting, and band sectionals. The focus of my teaching has been musical independence. I want my students to be able to play their instruments without a teacher looking over their shoulders, and this means learning good practice habits, practicing good tone, and playing with confidence and joy.

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.
