The most important first step is to have a conversation about what the student's goals are. Together we can come up with a game plan to achieve these goals! For beginning students, we will start by working through a beginner's method book, but I will supplement with my own materials. My first priority is to get the student playing music that they enjoy as early as possible! I will come prepared to every lesson with an individualized lesson plan, assignments, music that are tailored to each student's goals! Read More

For beginning students, I like to start with some starting note learning drills on paper or going through some beginner books.

As they progress, I hope to introduce different kinds of solo music in order to teach different skills and techniques that are involved, while still keeping the music fun and accomplishing the goals that the student wants to accomplish.
