When I start out with a new student I like to see what kind of learning works best for them. Are they a visual, audio or tactical learner? from there I modify each lesson for each individual student.

My primary method of teaching is to have my students study from my own books, in addition to publications by Mel Bay and Hal Leonard. Read More
