My teaching style is focussed very much on what the student wishes to learn. Having a set guide pf progression is necessary but not when forced upon.

With every student I put together a custom lesson plan that is designed to show yardsticks and milestones for the student in how they are moving forward with their instrument. Read More

I like inspiring students by going beyond learning their instrument to helping them understand the history of their instrument and the music they are learning and the role/importance of music to them.
