Always based on the student's individual needs and likes/dislikes. When teaching a lone student, one has to make a judgment call based on how this person learns, behaves, and interacts with music.

There is no guaranteed best method for every student - however, I will always use a combination of my best judgment for a student with something they are interested in. Read More

I want the students to have fun with their playing as well. Read More
