Where I Teach:
Ages Taught: 3-80
AA, Laney Community College, Music Theory and Composition
I approach music from four perspectives in order to create an integrated foundation that caters to the learning methods of my students. My method is very simple: First and foremost I ask what kind of music my students like to listen to. Using this as a format I gradually add theoretical concepts to the extent the student is able to broaden his or her understanding of what they like. Third, I incorporate short bursts of technical exercices, utilizing a knowledge of the devolopment of muscle memory and gauging my student's individual capacity to absorb new information. Lastly, I keep records of a student's interests and progress and prepare for each lesson by putting myself in their shoes and acting as the student myself.
I am by nature a service oriented individual, and a kid at heart. Teaching music is a very important aspect of my life - I believe in its power as a tool the build confidence, broaden a healthy emotional spectrum, and communicate with others. My patience allows me to work with my student's at their pace and to encourage them gently. I grew up with a few impatient music teachers and I am proud to have what I believe is a healthier approach to a practice that is at it's root a joyous pursuit.
