It is important that the student comes to their own realizations about playing using me as a guide, rather than being spoon-fed the information. Knowing how each student learns most efficiently is critical to success in a lesson, and I believe that each student should be taught using as multiple instructional methods as well, including sound, sight, and feel. By learning early on why the student chose their instrument and what they hope to get out of it, I can easily find a path to success that is both efficient and exciting. Read More

I guess my point is, I can play any instrument and if I had more time in the world, I could practice more.

I even took Opera and passed that with an A. I love all kinds of music and I am willing to teach any kind of music to my students. Read More

By finding out what the student wants to learn, I can successfully tailor my instruction to the student's need and wants. Read More
