Building and establishing a practice regimen is all about foundation.  For all levels, I emphasize building blocks and ease of function.  Catering the needs of each individual student is important.  In lessons we will establish foundation, discuss finding groove and adapting to different styles, with an emphasis on using these tools musically.
