Hello! My name is Donovan, and I am an instructor who specializes in ear training and technique.

I have ran sound equipment from an early age as well, learning how to set rigs for full bands and how to mix and master tracks for recording purposes.

For beginning students who are children, I begin with method books to teach the fundamentals and establish good practice routines. Once a good foundation is established, I like to move into solo and ensemble repertoire to develop lyricism and expression.

I have rigorous practice routines for all ability and commitment levels. Read More
