It is rewarding to see my students grow as individual musicians. I, along with each student, will set high yet realistic goals for their musical journey.

I will tailor each lesson based on the students wants, likes, and need by first understanding the student as an individual. Read More

For beginner students I like to start away from books and notation and work on sound production and call and response. This is a way to get the ear working and to have some fun with potentially the most daunting part of learning an instrument.

When a student has progressed towards a good understanding of music notation I will encourage solo repertoire and other projects that are of interest of the students based upon a common goal we have set for our time together.

Jacobs approach of "song and wind" is the basis for my teaching style.
