Music is meant to be a form of expression. Sometimes you'll find a student may have a hard time expressing themselves. So as part of my teaching style I try to make them feel comfortable.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I usually start out by doing the methods book but I also stress the importance of playing with others in a group or duet setting. I love getting to play the teacher part with my students so it's more of a collaboration than a solo job. My goal is to have my students play duets with each other if that can be accommodated. Keeping it fun really helps the learning process and motivation to keep going and taking private lessons. Read More
