Everything in lessons depends on where a student is the moment we start, and his or her passions and interests in various styles. I have heard so many times in the past that students will quit an instrument early in life because they were unmotivated in boring lessons, only to later regret the decision to quit. It is imperative to me that students become self-motivated to practice and enjoy it as much as possible. Read More

For beginners: the key to success when first starting out is having fun! While it is important to learn fundamentals/technique/repertoire/songs, the first step is being interested and curious. Of course, as we progress, I will introduce songs, books, rudiments, exercises etc. Putting the fun before progress, makes the progress fun! For intermediate/advanced students: it is still important to have fun, but you will have more responsibility and required learning. Read More

I don't believe in a one size fits all mentality for music education, I've often seen this approach derail students from enjoying the process and eventually terminating their relationship with music overall. Students are a case-by-case basis, and in that regard, each lesson is catered to the students actual goals and interests. I believe in training our ears and our sense of rhythm to a point where the student can figure things out and make artistic decisions on their own and use lessons, less as a tutorial, but as a source of inspiration to pursue the things that brought them here in the first place.

As I have said before, I strive to see my students develop a great interest in music! Nothing makes me happier than to see my students succeed. For each student, it is important for them to learn at their own pace and not struggle if they get stuck o r confused on certain topics. All lessons will have goals set for the students. In order for my students to learn more, I find out what inpires them and base my lessons not only on my expectations of them, but also on helping them learn something that they want to learn too.

I have experience in teaching voice and drums, dating back to my last semester in college. I have been able to teach young kids the absolute privilege of singing and performing. I really encourage my students to keep practice and warm up times at the top of their priority list. Improving your voice and performance abilities starts with warming up. I also encourage them to enter as many competitions as they can, as well as auditioning for as many shows across the country as they can, so that they can be noticed and people can see what they can do!
