I believe that a strong foundation is essential for steady progress and confident performance. A comprehensive approach is my preference. Therefore, when I teach piano, I prefer Faber and Faber Piano Adventures paired with A Dozen a Day for added technique. Since many students in this school district are in band or orchestra, I usually use Essential Elements for Strings, Brass, and Woodwinds. I spend a reasonable amount of time preparing my students for our recitals and many of them join in the group songs, which have included "What a Wonderful World", "Happy", and currently "The Theme From Midnight Cowboy".

Although my teaching experience in music is minimal, I enjoy teaching and seeing joy on a student's face when they finally get it. I love what music brings to a student's life and encourage them to immerse themselves in the music world. As a teacher I believe you learn more when you are having fun and it's something you are interested in so I encourage students to also work on music they find enjoyable and want to learn. Read More

I taylor each lesson to the individual students. But usually I give students the opportunity to find what they love and encourage them to explore that, expanding their understanding as they go. No two students are the same and should be taught the same. Some students require strict traditional methods but most need a playground of music to find their calling. Music is an expression of oneself and therefor as unique as our fingerprints. Read More

As beginners, I recommend the first Hal Leonard Essential Elements Band books with EEi. The EEi feature allows students to access online features that coordinate with their private lessons and enhance their ability to learn. As students progress through the book, I add solo repertoire to the student's EEi account so they can both hear it played and record their own performance of each work of band music. Guitar students start with Essential Elements, piano students begin with Piano Adventures/Adult Piano Adventures, and both offer interactive online components which enhance the student's resources and ability to practice and learn between lessons.

I began teaching guitar part time in late high school to just a few students. During college, I expanded my student base to include up to 30 students per week. I also have plenty of experience teaching group lessons of up to 25 children in both lesson and rehearsal formats. I prefer to teach my students using a jazz sensibilty applied all types of music. This brings about a well-rounded and open-minded perspective on both writing and performing in all genres. Read More
