My methods really depend on the level of the student. For beginners, I tend to stick to basics by teaching them chords, scales, and basic music theory; by using music that they would like to learn how to play. To aid with the learning of basic music theory, I might have the students learn some older music, just as a chance to analyze it, but nothing more than that unless of course they would like to.

I have taught for 25 years and can teach any level on guitar and most levels on piano.

My teaching style is very calm explanations of complex subjects so you can get to making the music you want to. Since I'm not hiding behind some teaching method, you will very rapidly discover that this isn't rocket science, it's a series of conventions and technique. I wouldn't stand there making you run scales, I'd respect the direct you want to go with your music, and tackle the "prerequisite" issues. Read More

I work with students of all ages, from as young as 4 years old to adult students. I use a variety of methods in my teaching to create a unique program for each student, including the Bastien Method, Faber Method, Music Tree Method, Alfred Method, and the Suzuki Method. My students are welcome to participate in private studio recitals as well as Aurora Music Teachers Association events, including Achievement Day, Four Forms Festival, Composition Festival, and the Adult Potluck.

Instruments: Voice

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students get really excited about reaching their goals. I consistently encourage students by giving them positive feedback about the progress they are making. I also help them push themselves to become better singers by being an inspiration and a mentor for them throughout their journey. I do feel that music is a journey, not a destination. I inspire my students to develop an appreciation for music that lasts their entire lives, and so my instruction is tailored to the individual no matter where they are on their journey. Read More

My piano students also get some coaching and experience in singing (if they want to) -- I can help you to sing alongwith what you're playing, if you'd like to be a singer who can accompany yourself on the piano. DRUMS - You'll learn how to separate and control the four body parts (two hands, two feet) quickly, and then create a beat you can really feel -- we'll emphasize making it sound like music, not reading complex drum notation.
