I approach each student as an individual and I tailor lessons to each student's personal needs. I believe music is best learned when the student is engaged with and enjoying the material. I make sure students can work towards their own goals while providing them with the necessary background and theory to be successful with whatever they wish to pursue. I always endeavor to make my lessons a positive learning experience where students feel free to express themselves and grow musically. My teaching focus is on working with beginner and intermediate players because I believe these are the most important years to form good musical habits and develop confidence in your abilities. The student and I will work together to create practice and study habits that work for them.
A typical lesson will include some music theory appropriate with the student’s level as well as technical instruction, followed by songs selected with input from the student. Theory is most often not the most interesting lesson component for students, which is why I always blend the theory approach with the student’s personal goals. When students are able to see why theory is important and how it contributes to the music they know, they are much more eager to learn. I typically meet with students once per week, and because of this it is extremely valuable in a student’s progress to spend time preparing them for how to practice effectively and efficiently on their own. We will review what makes good practice and what the appropriate next steps are.
I look forward to working with each student and helping them achieve their musical goals.
