I like to follow a format for lessons, giving a certain amount of time to warming up, practicing technical studies and scales, etudes or lessons, solo literature and ensemble (duet, trio, ensemble) literature. I would encourage students to make an agenda for practicing, I believe many student need to learn how to practice, much like study skills, so they can make good use of their time. I teach students how to mark their music, how to break apart difficult sections and how to set goals for each week. Read More

I began teaching small private lessons 6 years ago to 2 or 3 students part time in college at Spartanburg Community College. I encourage frequent practice on a regular schedule for all my students, seeing progress helps maintain enjoyment and develop passion for your instrument. I find that introductions into a variety of styles can really go far in developing your own unique sound! Music for me is all about having fun and letting your personality shine through the music you play, if its not fun then Im doing something wrong. Read More

I believe in meeting students where they are at and building their musicianship on the student's strengths. Since I have years of teaching I can help students set realistic goals and know where they need more support and teach them how to be independent in practicing. And it is important to set goals and high expectations to bring students to their full potential. I know how to encourage and reward students with their progress and know how to give feed-back on where they need to lean in. Read More
