I use my own book and techniques which have been proven to work with every student that I have encountered. I am relatable and use techniques such as basketballs, tennis balls, as examples to be creative and unique. If you want to know how I incorporate that then sign up. :) I am for reading music, so I always incorporate reading as well as playing with a metronome. We are not perfect but the metronome more than likely is. I like to have fun, learn as well. I do use other books as well but I like to be original.
