I have taught privately on and off for the past 5 years. I generally encourage students to practice consistently and efficiently to achieve the results they desire. Being a multi-instrumental musicians has given me the advantage to use the different disciplines to teach in different methods, instructional languages, and pieces in order to reach the students. This has given me a versatile teaching style that generally allows me to associate well with my students. I am an open teacher and I believe that one of the main keys to an increase in performance and interest for making music is finding things that the student wants to play. I find that this is the best way to start and maintain a successful pattern of practice and performance. I'm always looking for students!

I start my students with a single lesson where I gain a knowledge about the student's musical abilities and personality. I don't generally start with a single method book, because I believe that in individual lessons, the methods used should be tailored to fit the student. I will pull from Essential Elements, Accent on Achievement, and Standard of Excellence, as well as writing and devising my own warm ups and methods. For beginning students, I generally focus on making sure that their fundamentals are strong before we move onto the more intricate details.
