Meet the student and get to know their needs

I know this seems obvious, but it surprises me how often I see programs and teachers taking a one-size-fits-all mentality.

My goal is to make sure every student feels that I care about their success.

Make Practice Practical

Not sure if you're making progress? Will the things I'm practicing actually become music?

​

Having music to play along with is essential to mastering your instrument.

Find or create a curriculum that fits their needs

I've had students tell me that their former teachers never really provided them with a plan. Instead they just threw concepts at them each week.

I won't do that! You'll always have specific goals and you'll know where we are heading next.

Review Regularly

It is critical that every now and again you take a chance to smell the roses and see where you've been.

​

It's a great feeling when you go back and realize, "I remember when that was hard!"
