Traditional. Classical: Suzuki Jazz: Mel Bay Modern Guitar and Mickey Baker. Styles and lesson books used varied depending upon student and school.

My teaching experience dates back to my days of study, as I began teaching private lessons part time 12 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 10 years as well as doing workshops in different countries. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the singing or instrument.

For young students who have never played before they are introduced to a fun and easy book called Hal Leonard's Drum Set Method. After a quick assessment I apply some adjustments to there playing and quickly assign some fun homework. Simply and effective for their style of playing. For adults, I asked them to play for me a few bars and drum patterns. I check their ability to read, improvise and how strong their "pocket "is. (i.e. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

In addtion to teaching privately in my studio, both 'cello and piano for over 30 years now, I have also taught after school string classes, for all student levels. One unique project that occured was playing for a ribbon cutting ceremony for an adult care center where I featured my students who performed with me and a few of my colleagues.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone at any part in their musical journey is ready to start lessons whether you're a complete beginner or a professional. Any one at any age with a passion for music is ready to begin working with a teacher. It's better to start your children with a teacher then to have them be self taught and eventually start taking lessons, however everyone at every level in their musicianship will benefit from working with a teacher.
When will I start to see results?
Most people aren't able to tell how and when you're progressing but as a teacher I can say that you are always making progress even if the results aren't obvious to yourself. I think depending on where you are in your musical journey the progress you see when you start working with a teacher can be immediate and linear growth, however a lot of people who are self taught and seek a teacher after being self taught might come to find you actually regress a bit due to having to back track to fix bad habits or implement necessary technique you didn't on your own. While this feels like negative results your still making progress towards the penultimate goal of mastery. Having a teacher will not only help make sure you're making consistent progress but we'll also be there to celebrate the progress you don't always recognize when teaching yourself as well as fixing habits and finding solutions that would take years longer on your own.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had really great connections with all my music teachers in middle and high school, especially with my middle and high school choir teachers which is definitely what inspired me to be a teacher. I saw what they did everyday and thought to myself how fun it would be to be in their shoes teaching music all day. I think the way they inspired me more so in high school was as a teachers assistant I got to see the nuance of teaching and how you get to share a part of yourself with others through music. I was inspired by how much my teachers loved what they did and put so much time and effort into sharing music with us.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My biggest advice to practicing effectively is to have a consistent practice routine that you take full advantage of. Even when doing the repetitive "easy" stuff like warm ups and exercises, giving it your full focus and effort is the fastest way to make progress in your solo repertoire, leading to your improvement of skill. Practicing everyday for a short period of time will do you more good than practicing for a long period of time less frequently, like 1-2 days a week. 15 minutes a day minimum for children and 30 minutes a day minimum for adults is what I recommend and make every minute of your practice count. I like to think of my practice routine as 20% warm ups and exercises, 20% sight reading and literacy training, and 60% repertoire practice.
