Music Lessons in Lane, CA

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

I like to teach students in a way that encourages them to think for themselves and learn how to correct their own mistakes. I think it is important for students to develop a solid practice routine, which they can use for years to come. I like inspiring students by going beyond learning their instrument to helping them understand the history of their instrument and the music they are learning and the role/importance of music to them.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Each student's talent is very unique, and so is their learning style: some people are more visual learners, some are kinesthetic, while others prefer to learn by ear. I make a point to insure that every single student "gets it," no matter what their favorite method is.  I always incorporate music they love into the lessons, so I can teach them general music concepts through what they already know and have an interest in.

Depending on the student's goals I can provide some guidance on how to become a professional. Read More
