I always try to be supportive of my students. I find it beneficial to point out and congratulate them on their strengths and achievements, in addition to areas that may need further work, so as to promote good self esteem. My method is strict, but I also find it important for my students, especially the younger ones, to have fun during their lessons. I like to be practical and set realistic goals with my students so that we have something specific to work towards during our studies. Read More

Music should be fun. If it isn't fun, why do it? Music is art, not machinery, and I believe lesson time should be the perfect blend of work and fun.

I help guide students to achieve new goals by encouraging and always pointing to the positive (because to me negative reinforcement just doesn't work). Read More
