I cater my teaching style to the needs of each individual student based on their performance. For beginners, I start with very simple and tactile exercises built to familiarize the student with the feeling and the habit of playing an instrument or writing a composition. For intermediate students, I dedicate the lessons toward developing a routine that works for them in practice - tone, technique, articulation, stamina, etc... For advanced students, my goal is to get them to the next level and help them discover the unique voice that every individual is gifted with, so that their music can inspire and invigorate the world around them.

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Music, Keyboard
As I have taught many students on many different instruments, my focus has been on providing students with a firm foundation, including proper posture, breathing, embouchure, technique, and pitch/rhythm literacy. I have found great success in using the Essential Elements method books, and eventually move on to intermediate and advanced methods, focusing on etudes, scale studies, and solo repertoire. Beyond a traditionally classical approach, I believe strongly in listening to my students to realize what they desire to learn. Read More
Instruments: Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion, Oboe
I like to follow a format for lessons, giving a certain amount of time to warming up, practicing technical studies and scales, etudes or lessons, solo literature and ensemble (duet, trio, ensemble) literature. I would encourage students to make an agenda for practicing, I believe many student need to learn how to practice, much like study skills, so they can make good use of their time. I teach students how to mark their music, how to break apart difficult sections and how to set goals for each week. Read More

I use a few different method books, and while they are very useful for attaining the building blocks of technique and knowledge young and beginning musicians need but I like to go beyond what reading books has to offer. My goal is to show my students everything there is - reading, theory, and technique are all important but so is creation, improvisation, learning through sound and finding what inspires them.

I create my own lesson plans based off of the individual student. For voice students, we usually warm up, do technical exercises working on varying registers and techniques, and then work on repertoire. I often find the passages in a particular song that the student is struggling with and focus in on those, finding exercises to guide the student. For instrumental students, I work on a lot of music theory and reading, for students of all levels and ages. Read More
