I work with my students at the level and pace that they are comfortably happy. We all come to music and music lessons for different reasons. My work is to honor that space and demonstrate that making music is an option for anyone who wants it, regardless of any perceived “barriers” in place. I am currently learning and researching models of Universal Design for Learning. I apply as many techniques as possible to engage with students and make the music both cognitively appropriate and musically enjoyable. I also encourage students to explore styles and techniques they might not otherwise, as I know that exposure to a variety of musical experiences will offer multiple opportunities to understanding.

For most of my beginning piano students, I use the piano adventures series. They offer a clear and well paced curriculum with numerous supplemental resources in a variety of styles. For beginning music theory, I use the Berklee School of Music texts or the Benward and Saker textbooks as well as many videos and other resources to explore musical concepts. For singing, I use a variety of sight singing books, all depending on the age and experience of the student. Depending on the style of songs a student wants to learn, I use various texts or musical resources for students. These may include jazz charts, lead sheets, choral repertoire, or various recordings and videos. For percussion, I teach using my own rhythm packets.
