Some students benefit from organization while others do better with a more relaxed approach.

I have enjoyed teaching music since I was in High School. I I enjoy using my experience as a multi-instrumentalist to teach students about the joy of playing with others.

Of course theory and regular practice are both very important. Read More

Piano - I typically start with Dozen A Day and books that stress technique. At the onset, I believe that hand position is incredibly important, so I make sure to pick exercises and etudes that reflect that importance.

Guitar - Like piano, technique is where I begin. Read More
