For beginning students, I typically teach using Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book and the Flesch Urstudien book. Every student is different. I treat my students as individuals and adjust my teaching style to achieve optimal results. The way you practice reflects on how much enjoyment you get from playing and how well you perform at recitals/auditions, etc… I spend a significant amount of time, especially with new students, on the art of practicing.

Beginners generally get to start with proper technique via some harmony open string chords to common popular music, before stepping into the Suzuki or Essential Elements world. Once they reach the mid-levels of Suzuki I also start to incorporate common music for their instrument that may be separate from the books, bu almost more importantly I get the student to start investigating their own taste in music. This allows them to build a repertoire, be it fiddle tunes, jazz tunes, more romantic styles, classical, atonal, or other stylings they find themselves gravitating to. Read More

My teaching style is based on the student's skill level. I teach at your pace! Not only do I teach at the student's pace, I have each student construct their own goal calendar to keep in my records as well as the student's home. I like to call it a "music vision board" because to me there are no numerical deadlines on a student's musical progress. I like to find out what inspires a student in order to better my teaching.
