I use different approaches depending on the type of student I am working with. Let's be honest, everyone is different and learns differently! If I have a beginner, then I usually start with the materials they use in school and branch out from there to some of the standard technical methods like Arban's or Vizzutti's methods. In general, I like to supplement "real" music with etudes and exercises as is necessary. Read More

I love to watch my students become better versions of themselves through the medium of music. I never want my students to be satisfied with reaching a destination on their goal charts. I want my students to become so infatuated with the journey, that they will seek to continue to look for new experiences to explore. I create this environment by keeping lessons diverse and dynamic. I make each student compile a list of goals for themselves, 3 big goals, 5 goals the lead to each of the 3 big goals, 10 goals to lead to each of the 5 goals, and finally, daily goals that will help us accomplish the 10 goals.

I start every student off the with basics, no matter what age. Fundamentals are a crucial skill that have to be correct if you plan to play great.

I have a plethora of simple etude books that I have and still continue to practice to this day to hone my skills. Read More
