Instruments: Violin, Viola, Electric Violin

The best thing I can give any student from a lesson is a love of music, and a desire to keep improving. I focus my energy on the positive aspects of a students playing while offering feedback to improve their playing abilities even more, while providing a bag of tools for continuous improvement they can use their entire life. In the start of lessons, with any student, we focus on how to pull a beautiful sound from the instrument, and then start working on the more technical details. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Violin, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method.
