I focus on teaching the student not just a list of repertoire, but the skills needed for independent life-long learning of whatever type of music the student wants to play. To do this, we work on understanding and applying music theory, editing and arranging music, solid practice techniques, and all areas of musicianship. Students learn how to practice smarter, not harder. Lessons are offered in the teacher's home studio, at the student's home, or over Skype. Group lessons are also available, along with performance opportunities.
