I started teaching a year ago with mainly students who were beginners or advanced beginners! It was definitely a challenge at first due to the fact I was never taught how to teach. So I did my research and found different strategies on how to teach and after that it became very simple! As time went on, I discovered that my approach was very aggressive and unclear! Especially with the very young ones. So in order for me to not make the same mistake twice I had to seeking out more professional which helped me a lot better!

I try my best to make sure that in the process of learn about the instrument, we also have fun as well. Working on rudiments, placement, keeping time, different grooves, active listening, dynamics are all important things that I love to start off with! When people think “Learning the Basics”, they think of the most boring and not fun things. Learning the basics is an excellent way of growing into a great musician! Without it, you will be very confused when it’s time to perform. Never underestimate starting at ground zero!
