It depends on what the student wants to learn. I am there for them. I do make recommendations such as teaching out of a Hal Leonard instructions books (for beginners) and or CD's Play along CD's. , Chord Theories, voicing s and improvisational techniques for the intermediate students ( i.e. basic blues) if they choose to. I also like for them to record their progress (such as picking a basic tune they have learned) if possible so they can get an idea of what they sound like as another recommendation. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend playing a piece that is known to give one the chance to start thinking musically. Then do technical studies for five to ten minutes (as appropriate to knowledge level). After that one should work on current literature that is being learnt. To end a session I would suggest playing something one likes to leave oneself with a positive feeling.
My favorite rule is the Eleven Minute rule. If you have trouble with a passage, or are trying to memorize something do it for eleven minutes and then stop and do something else such as play that sog you really like.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) When they have the desire to play
2) When they have suitable physical development to do so.
a) violin and piano can be started at three to four years of age if you are willing to put in the time to
teach them the discipline of practice without making them hate it
b) age six is a good time to start piano for the average child
c) age eight is the earliest I recommend starting guitar, but there are exceptions.
d) age ten is a good general age for beginning music, particularly for wind instruments.
3) If you want your child to play music talk to them about it before they reach the above ages and
and observe if they are getting excited about the idea.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual. However, if the student is eager for the next lesson this indicates that they are motivated. In general I give a student three months to see if they are making satisfactory progress. Results can be seen earlier but that is the point where I decide if a different approach should be used.
In 2002 I had two fifteen year old girls start guitar. Initially I thought girl A was going to excel and girl B was not going to do as well. At the end of three months they both showed good progress but girl A was more skilled. At the end of a year they were both equally matched. In the second year girl A dropped but girl B continued until she graduated from high school and in the end was the better musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At age six I asked for piano lessons. I did not get them but my parents sporadically would guide me. No one individual inspired me I just wanted to play music from an early age.
When I started clarinet in fifth grade I admired my band teacher and followed what he said as if he was the fount of all knowledge.
I never did get the lessons I repeatedly asked for and so know what it is like to not have a skilled voice guide one to achieve ones musical goals. You can do a lot with teaching yourself but there are always gaps in your knowledge and skills because there is not someone there to guide you.
