When receiving a student I first like to get to know the student by friending them. Asking question as to what their likes are and just getting to know them.

I have an interactive yet focused style of teaching. I can(but don't recommend) to use the Suzuki method. I feel that all aspects related to the instruments weigh much importance in teaching the student.

This prevents him/her to fully understand and analyze the piece and lesson and it can also turn the student away from pursuing the instrument further.  Read More

I believe that every student has their own learning style and I strive to teach to the student. Therefore, every student is taught differently, according to what works for them, and how the student is comfortable being taught. Student's will learn at their own pace while being encouraged to go beyond what they believe they are capable. Students will be given playing opportunities in an annual rectial, and semi annual group performances. Read More
