All program students are assigned a daily routine to complete, song to perform, and focus exercise. For single lessons, I perform an inventory of skills, supplementary lesson, and assessment for an improvement plan.

For more advanced students, consideration is given for playing goals, projects, performances, etc. Read More

Compositional exercises and etude drills (i.e. Hannon) help to reinforce the new ideas and build basic skills. Read More

The most important thing for me when it comes to teaching is knowing that my student is progressing but also enjoying their experience overall, another very important factor is overall retention of the information. Every person is different so there is really no cut and dry method of teaching, keeping this in mind the experience for everyone should be unique in a way.

Due to my experience working with multiple grade/age levels, I have learned to carefully fine tune my teaching strategy for each individual student that I work with.

With intermediate level students I continue with more challenging method books as well as standard musical excerpts and etudes. Read More
