My approach varies depending on the student's skill level and chosen instrument, but for beginners I always try to get them familiarized with their instrument: teaching them the basics of reading music and how to navigate the different keys (or strings, etc.).

Furthermore, teaching sustainable, healthy, and effective practice techniques is a core part of how I teach. Read More
