If and when students become interested, I love to incorporate music theory into my lessons, alongside the technical aspects of instrumental technique. Read More

I just recently moved back to Colorado from NYC. Up until the day before I moved, I was working as a private music teacher for over 50 different students weekly, in-studio and in-home lessons, ages varying from as young as 2 to adult.

This means the entire goal of each individual lesson is to lead to improvement, and this cannot happen in an overly critical environment. Every lesson is wrapped up with a homework assignment that is something the student wants to learn, something that is within the student’s current capabilities, and something that addresses a specific technique or learning point covered from their lesson. In addition, each student is given a “recital” goal. Read More
