Instruments: Piano Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Keyboard

I've found the best way to teach is to cater to each student's interest. While early or beginning players may require some fundamental grunt work, there is always a way to assure that it's fun too. Earlier students would need to start learning the basics: rhythm, learning to read, developing technique through scales etc. of which there are many methods. As students mature, I feel the Suzuki method for aspiring classical students is the best route (there are multiple books in this series) along with some other extensive and more challenging works.

I believe that every student is different and it is important for the teacher to be flexible and take their goals into account. Some students want to play in a band and deal with music and performance right away, and some students want to become very technically adept at the instrument. Above all, I believe it is important to be patient and to practice with a musical application in mind. Read More

My teaching style is very high energy, fun, and rewarding. Watching students grow in confidence as they progress is my favorite part of being a teacher. In the arts, we are always being criticized. For example, how can one person love a song/band and another one feel they are horrible? We all have a preference to what we like and I feel we should only judge ourselves by where we have been and where we are at currently. Read More
