Teaching Style

Every student is different and requires their own specific curriculum. Generally, Connor believes that the best way to learn music is to study and play along with your favorite recordings.

Curriculum

Lessons will involve students learning repertoire catered towards the student's interests and goals on the instrument. Also learning basic music theory, including: scales, chords, rhythm and reading sheet music.

Student texts will also be catered towards the students needs.
