Seeing a student take on a challenging piece is more rewarding to me than anything. When I see a student struggling, I will offer the techniques that I would typically use, however there is no ONE right way to do everything.

This will result in repeating lessons, which I avoid at all costs. Read More

I customize each lesson specifically for my students so that they remain satisfied and fulfilled with what they are learning.Each student has different interests and its my job to build a music curriculum around them. I usually encourage my students to have both a method book for fundamental skills, and a performance book with pieces that they want to learn. We will decide this after the first introductory lesson.

I don't have a set process for every student. Every student is different and learns at their own pace. Depending on your preference of theory or practice and the type of music you aspire to play, I will tailor the teaching approach.

It is important to make your learning experience as enjoyable as possible so that you are encouraged to paly regularly. Read More
