Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass

I try to work with students to develope not only the technical aspects of their instrument, but, also their overall musicianship; melodic perception, solid, staedy rhythm, tone, and dynamics.

Typically, I begin with regimented learning. For guitar students, I use Hal Leonards Guitar Method 1. For voice students, I teach basic breathing exercises and fun, sustainable and memorable warm-ups. From there, I begin to prep them for their first solo performances. I offer studio-wide performance opportunities for new and experienced students to show off their skills! As they progress, I teach to their interests and needs. Some students may be in high school prepping for Solo and Ensemble, or All-State Chorus auditions, or even college auditions. Read More

I would like to supplement that with a John Wooton play along book which takes the boredom out of Stick Control. Read More

I do give every student the same basic foundation, but after the foundation is set, the continued direction is entirely up to the student [parent].
