I guide my students through a series of weekly challenges that helps them track their progress. Each student gets to log their practice and write down any questions and concerns they may have. That way we address not only what the teacher wants but what the student needs. I work carefully on details to make sure that my students learn well and develop a solid technique. I like to modify my teaching style according to the student's learning style. Read More

I find the learning process to be so fun as an educator, as I believe we learn life skills through challenge, goal setting, and accomplishments.

The Kodaly method is also useful and even more traditional 'reading first' techniques can be used if requested. Read More
