We discuss the student's preferred learning style, previous experience, and future goals. Then I create customized, engaging, flexible lessons designed to help the student achieve those goals.
Berklee College of Music alumnus
All lessons are personalized to meet the student's ability and musical goals. I provide all lesson material, so there's no need to buy a book. If the student has a specific playing or learning goal in mind, I will tailor the lesson to help the student achieve those goals. If the student isn't sure what they want to learn, I will provide general lessons that cover everything from the basics to advanced concepts.
