I have been teaching on and off for the last two years. I have taken classes in Instrumental Pedagogy designed to teach us the best skills to teach students of all ages. I teach in either the students' home or in my living room. I've found that the most important part of a student's musical education is their outside practice and, usually, students are only willing to practice if they are having fun and feeling motivated and encouraged. I will give your students the skills necessary to become both technical players, and passionate musicians whose love for what their doing shines through every note played!

For absolute beginner's I will spend the first few lessons just working on getting a sound out of the instrument and when ready, playing some easily recognized songs (like nursery rhymes), by ear to develop aural skills from the very start. All of my students will start with the Rubank methods of the appropriate level. For beginner and intermediate students, we will work out of classical repertoire books appropriate to the level. We will also work on some pieces the student will recognize to encourage practicing. We will spend one of the first lessons "practicing" so the student learns how to use their practice time at home. For advanced students, I have a detailed and comprehensive repertoire and method list that we will work off of to make sure the students are developing all the right skills. For all students, we will work on Music Theory.
