I seek to help a student to find their own inspiration in whatever genres and fields they find appropriate. I help students develop their own inner passion by bringing them to community events to provide musical examples outside of the curriculum that is necessary to improve skill level on all instruments. I seek to help students find what they are hearing and to give them the theory tools (scales, technical ability, chords, form, reading, etc...) to write it down or play it back. Read More

I begin with asking "What do you want to get from these lessons?" and start from there. I have a number a resources (books, videos, recordings, experience) to proceed through the various paths that one may chose. I try to think of music as a language. You are not born speaking english, just as your not born playing music. We learn our language by immersing ourselvesin it and pick it up as we go. Read More

My methods vary on the student and subject. Beginning students will typically focus more on technical pieces of music to improve on certain aspects of a few pieces to perform. More advanced students will still practice technical parts of their music, but less time will be spent on it during a lesson. Advanced level students will spend more time on repertoire and performance. The more advanced a student gets, the more I expect them to practice outside of lessons and apply their newly learned technical skills into their music on their own. Read More
