I first started teaching music in 2014. I began as a guitar instructor, then made my way into teaching piano, drums, and bass as well. I believe that the best way to teach a student how to play an instrument is to first teach them how to play music. In my experience I have found that allowing students to try several different instruments and participate in group jams with other musicians teaches them to fall in love with making music. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music! it's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By finding out what inspires each student, I successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Referrals are my main source of new students since they and their parents enjoy solid results from each lesson, and have fun in the process! Read More

For beginners, on piano I def reccomend Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Also, "My Favorite Solo Album," by Max Eckstein. Once progression and consistency has been developed I always encourage my students to share what they have learned in to a recital performance. I always make sure to teach what the student is interested in no matter what their ability is because with practice and a good student mentality my tudents achieve their goals quicker than usual.

Having a teacher realize I was struggling, and taking the time to work with me gave me the confidence I needed to carry on and slowly but surely hone my craft. I don't believe in the idea that "some people just aren't good at things like music." Music is a gift, and even the most stubborn or frustrated student can learn. It's all in the mindset. I don't allow students to let the "I can't do this" attitude and ideology enter their minds. Read More
