For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Books. Suzuki encourages ear training, which is only part of what I like to teach. Sight reading is a very important skill to have, and I use other books and materials to ensure sight reading is learned. I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for a recital performance, as well as their skill level. For adults, I will find out what they are interested in learning, and shape my instruction to keep the lessons engaging for them, no matter what level they are at! Read More

I currently provide private lessons and group classes on several instruments, both at Swallow Hill Music in Denver, CO and to students worldwide via my website: JarettsJammers.com Read More

I strive to make learning this very difficult instrument fun and enjoyable. I provide recordings and videos, practice charts and other practice aids to build a platform for the most success. My students send me recordings of their practice assignments between lessons to receive feedback. Read More
