I like to teach with books but also with songs.  It's all about having fun! I have different routines and practice methods. The idea is to keep things positive and challenge free.

The idea is to break things down to a point where things are doable and super easy to deal with . Read More

Each lesson generally starts off with some assigned work from the previous lesson and then we move on to technique/reading skills exercises. Read More
