Whether the student is only first establishing these skills, or seeking further development, I incorporate many finger exercises, scales and etudes in the teaching of technique. I find it necessary to go over with a student (especially a beginning student) how to practice the material on their own. Most students are not taught how to practice, which is the only way to improve. Teaching a student how to work through difficult rhythms is never overlooked. Read More

I have taught a wide-range of learners of different ages and abilities. With the guidance from me, learners feel confident in their ability to successfully perform. Read More

I also encourage questions during lessons so that less mistakes are made during concerts and playing tests. Read More

I approach each lesson differently. I focus on the students' weaknesses and work with them on being more comfortable talking about and facing them.

I also do not put intense pressure on students to learn at a tempo; I focus on what makes them enjoy playing and having fun. Read More

My methods vary between each student. For beginning students, that are not learning in a school setting, I typlically start with Hal Lenard's Essential Elements For Band.

This will encourage the student's passion for music to grow. If the student is in a school setting, then the student will work on all of the music for school and solo repetoire. Read More
