METHODS USED

My methods are all tailored to the individual student. There’s no one method that works for everyone and defendant on what the overall results desired are, there will be an in depth analysis to determine the course of study. We will go over standard methods such as Arban, Schlossberg, James Stamp, Bill Adams, Timofei Dokshizer and various others. We may also review modern methods such as Windworks, which is a very different approach to playing then previously mentioned. Whichever direction we go in, we will find the method that works for you.

LESSON STYLE

I believe that in learning an instrument and music, there is no such thing as difficult, only unfamiliar. As musicians, we must familiarize ourselves with things we do not know in order to excel in our instrument and create music. It can be anything from learning to play one note or writing a symphony. No matter what we learn, the rewards are endless! The lessons I teach are built around a stress free environment where no judgement can be found. It's all about enjoying what you're doing and have fun!
