I began teaching music at a daycare when I was twenty years old (I am currently 24). I taught private piano and guitar lessons on a weekly basis. My youngest student at the time was a year and a half and my oldest student was twelve years old. I learned very quickly that one of the most important things is to inspire a love of music in each student because if you do not enjoy what you are doing you will never want to practice and if you don't want to practice there can be no improvement since forced practice is nothing more than another chore. From there I went on to teach private lessons in a studio called Educators music there i began teaching older students now I have taught all ages up to seventy five years old. All of my students regardless of age are encouraged to audition for competitions perform in recitals and create their own compositions and arrangements. I love hearing the different ideas my students bring to the table.

I start each student off with the basics once they master the basics of both music theory and performance (this includes concurring any stage fright they may have) then I will allow them to chose their own repertoire and I generally switch back and forth so that every other week is the repertoire of their choosing and the following week is continued progress and visitation on the theoretical and technical aspects. I do generally hold two recitals a year that all of my students are highly encouraged to participate in. Although I have never taught online before so it will take some ingenuity on my part to set up recitals.
