Every student is different, but all students need to be motivated and inspired. I try to find the right “buttons” for each individual to help them become excited about learning their instrument.

All students will learn the basics of healthy singing, intonation, pitch accuracy, rhythmic/beat accuracy, and style.

A crazy chord would be presented to me and I wouldn't even know where to begin to build it. I realized Very quickly that in order to unlock what it really means to “play by ear”, I had to gain an understanding of what I was playing. In my high school and early college days; I really focused in on Music theory courses and mastered the basic building blocks of scales, chords, harmony, melody etc.. being able to playing any song you hear is cool but when you can feel something and translate that into a sound, THATS when your music comes to life!
