I work very closely with every student customizing lesson plans based on their needs. From the very first lesson, we figure out his/her goals and we write them down.

I often recommend specific songs or artists they should listen to as well as certain books and practice exercises that gravitate towards reaching their goal and most importantly; true potential.
