Due to my experience working with multiple grade/age levels, I have learned to carefully fine tune my teaching strategy for each individual student that I work with. At the beginner level I typically work from method books to ensure a solid development of performance fundamentals. I also like to spend a good bit of time establishing successful warm-up and practice routines. With intermediate level students I continue with more challenging method books as well as standard musical excerpts and etudes. Read More

I would also bring in different levels of books and studies for their specific level and instrument that they play.

At this location, I have worked with up to 20 students that were enrolled in free music education, as it may have not been available to them privately at an affordable cost. Read More
