Instruments: Piano Saxophone Music Keyboard
For all beginning students I start by having the student set a goal. Some goals past students have set are learning to improvise, learn a specific piece, prepare for a musical competition/performance, prepare for a college audition or be able to express themselves through there instrument. As long as you have a goal with your instrument I can help you achieve it. I create lesson plans based on the students level to help grasp and improve fundamentals, technique and sound. Read More

My teaching style focuses on what most interests the student and draws them to the particular instrument. We explore different song styles and different exercises that speak to each individual student. I also believe in regularly providing constructive criticism and encouragement for each student's accomplishments. The more you inspire your student, the more driven they become. I encourage students to pick their favorites styles and songs to work on and we then take it from there and provide inspiration and a bit of fun! Read More

Instruments: Piano
Firstly, as with anything, I try to get to know my students and their goals. Once I know where they are at, we can devise a plan for particular repertoire to play and particular techniques to master. I'm all about having fun through the process of learning the piano--piano lessons can often be seen as these nervewracking sessions, I prefer to treat my lessons as collaborative explorations where both myself and the student learn more about music-making together.

As an educator, my role is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to learn and grow. It is important for learning to take place in such an environment so that students are not only free to be themselves, but free to make mistakes. This way, mistakes happen in a safe, forgiving environment where students can learn from them before they have to learn those lessons in the real world. Read More
