There is not a one-size fits all teaching method for beginners, or any playing level for that matter.

I want to empower them to be able to identify the challenge happening and feel comfortable to know how to fix it since we are only together for a limited amount of time each week. I will incorporate the same understanding applicable to the song/project we are working on in the lesson. In addition, we will address proper breathing, healthy and safe techniques, mental health behind the areas of challenge and/or bad habits that are occurring, and much more! Read More

I always say that everyone is different in the way of learning, and that is something I tell all the students. I alway tell all my students to make a plan, short term goals and long term goals, never stop studying and never stop searching for new experiences in this amazing world of music and art. This will keep the students with the desire to keep learning and going each day further than the day before, and therefore, they will achieve with discipline each and one of the goals they pursue in life.
